An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

z+4

Explanation:

An isotope of an element, atomic number Z, has a mass number 2z+4. How many neutrons are there in the nucleus of the element?o

protons + neutrons =mass number

so

z +neutrons = 2z+4

neutrons = 2z+4 - z=z+4 which is the # of neutrons in the nucle

Antimony has 2 naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of antimony-121 is 120.904 amu and the mass of antimony-123 is 122.904 amu
Sav [38]
Wow, now this one is a hard one, took me quite a while to figure it out but here it is:
120.904(x)+122.904(1-x)=121.76 \\ &#10;120.904x-122.904x+122.904=121.76 \\ &#10;-2x+122.904=121.76 \\ &#10;-2x=-1.144 \\ &#10;x=.572  \\ &#10;1-.572=.428
The abundances of the two isotopes is:
Antimony-121 = 57.2%
Antimony-123 = 42.8%

Write an equation that shows the formation of a barium ion from a neutral barium atom.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Ba -> Ba2+ + 2e-

Explanation:

A neutral atom becomes an iron when that atom loses electrons. The number of electroms lost by that atom determines the ionic charge or charge of it's ion. In this case, a neutral Barium atom (Ba) will become a barium ion, which has a charge of +2, when it loses 2 electrons to a more electronegative atom in a reaction.

The equation is:

Ba -> Ba2+ + 2e-

2e- is the two electrons lost
