Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

           Number of protons = 8

           Number of neutrons = 8

          Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

    To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

           1 proton has a mass of  1.00728amu

           8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

          1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

          8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

                                   = 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

                                   = 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

                             = 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

                              = 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Why are there so many types of matter?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

There are many types of matter because one thing or substance can change its structure depending on its environment such as how much pressure it's under and what kind of temperature surrounds it.

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?
Alexeev081 [22]
In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.

The majority of bacteria have a cell envelope. which component of the cell envelope is found in only some bacterial cells?
lesya [120]

The majority of bacteria have a cell envelope component which serves as an outer compartment.

Explain the Plasma membrane components.

The membrane that divides the interior of the cell from the external environment is known as the plasma membrane, sometimes known as the cell membrane, and is present in all cells.

A cell wall is affixed to the plasma membrane on the exterior of bacterial and plant cells. A semipermeable lipid bilayer makes up the plasma membrane. The movement of materials into and out of the cell is controlled by the plasma membrane.

A cell is protected by its cell membrane, also known as the plasma membrane. Additionally, it offers a stable environment inside the cell. And that membrane serves a variety of purposes. One is to move compounds out of the cell that is harmful as well as nutrients into the cell.

Hence, the correct answer is the outer membrane.
