An element’s atomic number is equal to the number of protons in that element’s nucleus. The mass number is the total number of an atom’s protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge; electrons have a negative charge; and neutrons are electrically neutral.

Putting it all together, given that the atomic number of lead is 82, the number of protons a lead atom contains is 82. The number of neutrons would be the difference between 207 and 82, or 125 neutrons. Finally, since you have a neutral atom, there must be an equal number of electrons as the number of protons—that is, 82 electrons.

Thus, you’ve got 82 protons, 125 neutrons, and 82 electrons.

All of the following are reasons why astronomers have difficulty looking at distant stars except:
OleMash [197]

Answer:

B. They don't understand how red shift affects stars.

Explanation:

Astronomers face difficulty in observing distant stars because they are so far that they are easily viewed by telescope. Light pollution is major concern in present times . There is very less window present for observation. The dim light from the distance stars also gets distorted due to atmosphere and effects astronomical seeing.

Astronomers are aware about the Doppler effect for light that is the redshift effect on the star light. It is not a difficulty for astronomers.

What is the new volume of a sample of neon if 5.23 L of the gas, which was originally at 214 mmHg, is compressed until the press
Yuliya22 [10]

This problem can be solved using Boyle's law:p1v1=p2v2

so 5.23*214=796*v2 v2=(5.23*214)/796=1.4L
