Answer:
The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
Electron:
The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.
Symbol= e⁻
Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg
It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.
Neutron and proton:
Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.
Symbol of proton= P⁺
Symbol of neutron= n⁰
Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg
Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
For example
The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
<h2>Natural Abundance for 10B is 19.60%</h2>
Explanation:
- The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60%.
- The natural isotopic abundance of 11B is 80.40%.
- The isotopic masses of boron are 10.0129 u and 11.009 u respectively.
For calculation of abundance of both the isotopes -
Supposing it was 50/50, the average mass would be 10.5, so to increase the mass we need a more percentage of 11.
Determining it as an equation -
10x + 11y= 10.8
x+y=1 (ratio)
10x + 10y = 10
By taking the denominator away from the numerator
we get;
y = 0.8
x + y = 1
∴ x = 0.2
To get percentages we need to multiply it by 100
So, the calculated abundance is 80% for 11 B and 20% 10 B.
Answer:
D. The rate decreases as reactants are used up.
Explanation:
Initially, the rate increases until the reaction is at equilibrium. At equilibrium, the rate is constant.
As the reaction progresses, the rate decreases to zero when reactants are used up ( for irriversible reactions only )
