We can define atomic mass the total of number of protons and number of neutrons in an atom or isotope.
<span>So when an isotope of yttrium has 39 protons and 59 neutrons, its atomic mass is equal to;
number of protons + number of neutrons = 39 + 59 = 98</span>
Answer:
An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs.
Explanation:
P is a element called Phosphorus.
Cl is chlorine. Since their is 5 of chlorine, we call it pentachloride. Penta means 5, as in the shape PENTAgon.
Compound Name: Phosphorus pentachloride
The distance of the earth to the sun in Mm = 1.5 x 10⁵
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
The distance of the earth to the sun : 1.50 x 10⁸ km
Required
The distance in Mm
Solution
In converting units we must pay attention to the conversion factor.
the conversion factor :
1 kilometer(km) = 10⁻³ megameter(Mm)
So the distance conversion :
1.5 x 10⁸ x 10⁻³ = 1.5 x 10⁵ Mm
