Carbon has a neutral overall charge, an atomic mass of about 12 and an atomic number of 6. How many electrons does carbon have?

2 answers:

4 0

For the atom to be neutral, it must have the same number of electrons and protons. The aromic number indicates the number of protons. Since Carbon has 6 protons, it would have to have 6 electrons for it to be neutral

The correct answer is B. 6

Explanation:

Each atom of an element is composed of a certain amount of protons, electrons, and neutrons. In the case of electrons, the number of electrons is the same as the protons in the case of atoms that are neutrally charged. Additionally, the atomic number of an atom indicated the number of electrons in it and the atomic mass the number of electrons and protons together.

This means by knowing the number of protons which in this case is 6 (Atomic number) and the atomic mass which is 12 it is possible to determine the number of electrons. Either because the number of electrons is the same that the number of atoms which means is 6 or the atomic mass minus the protons are the number of electrons, which is also 6 (12-6 = 6).

A solution was made by dissolving 5.10 mg of hemoglobin in water to give a final volume of 1.00 ml. the osmotic pressure of this

Assoli18 [71]

The molecular weight of hemoglobin can be calculated using osmotic pressure

Osmotic pressure is a colligative property and it depends on molarity as

πV = nRT

where

π = osmotic pressure

V = volume = 1mL = 0.001 L

n = moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm / mol K

T = temperature = 25°C = 25 + 273 K = 298 K

Putting values we will get value of moles

$moles=\frac{\pi V}{RT}=\frac{0.00195X0.001}{0.0821X298}mol$

we know that

$moles=\frac{mass}{molarmass}$

Therefore

$molarmass=\frac{mass}{moles}=\frac{5.10X10^{-3}g}{7.97X10^{-8}}=6.399X10^{4}g$

What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?

Helen [10]

The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,

alpha α particles ₂He⁴
beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
gamma particles γ
positron particles ₁e⁰

O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same

Reaction

$\tt _8^{15}O\Rightarrow _7^{15}N+_1^0e$

The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7

If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)
