How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 31 and its mass number is 80?

Chemistry

49 neutrons in each nucleus.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

For each nucleus:

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

The atomic number of a nucleus is the same as its number of protons. The atomic number of the nucleus here is 31. There are 31 protons in each nucleus.

  • Mass number = 80;
  • Number of protons = Atomic number = 31;
  • The number of neutrons is to be found.

Again,

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons.

80 = 31 + Number of neutrons.

Number of neutrons = 80 - 31 = 49.

The chart shows the time, initial velocity, and final velocity of three riders. A 4-column table with 3 rows. The first row labe
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The option which best describes the riders is :

Gabriella is slowing down at the same rate that Kendall is speeding up, and Franklin is not accelerating

Explanation:

Franklin is not accelerating as the final velocity (50 km/h) is equal to the initial velocity (50 km/h) , rather he is moving at a constant speed.

Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / (final time - initial time)

According to acceleration formula given above , the rate at which Gabriella is slowing down is 2.3 km/h and the rate at which Kendall is speeding up is also 2.3 km/h.

Hence the option stating "Gabriella is is slowing down at the same rate that Kendall is speeding up and Franklin is not accelerating"  is true and it best describes the riders.
