Potassium-41 has 19 protons. How many neutrons does this isotope have ?​

Physics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

20 neutrons

Explanation:

This will get you the mass number of the most abundant potassium isotope. You now know that the most abundant isotope of potassium contains 20 neutrons. All isotopes of potassium will have the same number of protons inside their nucleus, i.e. 19 protons.

I hope this helps you.

How are compounds and mixture alike ?
natita [175]

Compounds are atoms or molecules that are chemically bonded together to form a different molecule or compound. The process could be written as a chemical reaction. A mixture is when two elements or compounds are mixed together but do not react, ie no chemical reaction between the two occurs.

Which statement is true about effective nuclear charge?a. Effective nuclear charge decreases as we move to the right across a ro
MissTica

Answer:

Option b. Effective nuclear charge increases as we move to the right across a row in the periodic table

Explanation:

The <em>effective nuclear charge </em>is a measure of how strong the protons in the nucleus of an atom attract the outermost electrons of such atom.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em> is the net positive charge experienced by valence electrons and is calculated (as an approximation) by the equation: Zeff = Z – S, where Z is the atomic number and S is the number of shielding electrons.

The shielding electrons are those electrons in between the interesting electrons and the nucleus of the atom.

Since the shielding electrons are closer to the nucleus, they repel the outermost electrons and so cancel some of the attraction exerted by the positive charge of the nucleus, meaning that the outermost electrons feel less the efect of attraction of the protons. That is why in the equation of Zeff, the shielding electrons (S) subtract the total from the atomic number Z.

The <em>effective nuclear charge</em>, then, is responsible for some properties and trends in the periodic table. Here, you can see how this explains the trend of the atomic radius (size of the atom) accross a row in the periodic table.

  • As the<em> effective nuclear charge</em> is larger, in a same row of the periodic table, the shielding effect is lower, the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus, and the size of the atoms decrease. That is why as we move to the right in the periodic table, the size of the atoms decrease.
