Answer:

Lithium has 4 neutrons

Explanation:

The number shown above the lithium symbol (Li) is the mass number.

The mass number (A) represents the protons and neutrons an atom has.

The atomic number(Z) in the other hand represents the protons only.

So, the difference between this two numbers is the amount of neutrons.

n_{neutrons}=A-Z=7-3=4

How long will it take for half of Bismuth-214 to decay to lead? (Refer to the Uranium-238 decay chain series.)
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Answer is: 20 min.Bismuth 214 decay mode to lead is beta minus decay and alpha decay.Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus. In beta minus decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron.Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

In equation δhsoln=δh1+δh2+δh3 which of the energy terms for dissolving an ionic solid would correspond to the lattice energy?
LekaFEV [45]
The dissolution of a solute in a solvent to form a solution usually occur in three steps, which are delta H1, delta H2 and delta H3. 
For dissolving an ionic solid, the lattice energy, which is the energy that is holding the ionic particles in place correspond to DELTA H2 and it is the energy that must be conquered. The higher the charge in the ionic solid, the higher the lattice energy. The lattice energy must be overcome in order for the solid to dissolve.
