26 because you need to do 54-28=26
The atomic mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons together.

An isotope is a varying in the neutrons because the protons NEVERRRR change!!

54 - 28 = <span>26 
</span>
Answer: 26

Well, we might as well try a similar question. Magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen gas and an aque
Andrei [34K]

Answer: Magnesium Mg

Explanation:

Oxidization is the process by which a substance either gains oxygen or losses electrons.

The chemical reaction of the above is denoted by,

Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) -----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)

Mg went from a 0 to a +2 state which would mean that it lost electrons.

It was therefore oxidized.

Please do react or comment if you need clarification or if the answer helped you. This can help other users as well. Thank you.

A radioactive nucleus alpha decays to yield a sodium-24 nucleus in 14.8 hours. What was the identity of the original nucleus?
Rudik [331]
Answer:

<span>2813Al</span>

Explanation:

You know that alpha decay takes place when a α-particle is being ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive isotope.An 

<span>α-particle</span> is simply the nucleus of a helium-4 atom. A helium-4 atom has a total of two protons and two neutrons in its nucleus, and two electrons surrounding that nucleus.

In that case, if a <span>α-particle</span> is the nucleus of a helium-4 atom, then it must have a mass number equal to 4, since it has two protons and two neutrons, and a net charge of <span>(2+)</span> since it no longer has the two electrons that the helium-4 atom has.

So, you know that an unknown radioactive isotope decays via alpha decay to yield a sodium-24 nucleus.

A sodium-24 nucleus contains 11 protons and 13 neutrons. This means that you can write

<span><span>AZ</span>X→<span>2411</span>Na+<span>42</span>α</span>

Here A and Z represent the unknown element's mass number and atomic number, respectively.

So, if you take into account the fact that mass number and atomic number must be conserved in a nuclear reaction, you can say that

<span>A=24+4 </span> and <span> Z=11+2</span>

The unknown isotope will thus have

<span>{<span><span>A=28</span><span>Z=13</span></span></span>

A quick look at the periodic table will show you that the element that has 13 protons in its nucleus is aluminum, Al. This means that you're dealing with aluminum-28, an isotope of aluminum that has 15 neutrons in its nucleus.

The complete nuclear equation will be

<span><span>2813</span>Al→<span>2411</span>Na+<span>42</span><span>α
</span></span>
