How many neutrons does X have if it’s atomic number is 28 and it’s mass number is 71

Chemistry

dalvyx [7]3 years ago

We know that the mass number is equal to the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. We also know that the atomic number is the same number as the number of protons. Therefore, we can solve for the number of neutrons with what we were given:

x + 28 = 71
x=43

There are 43 neutrons

As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom(1) contains protons, neutrons, and electrons(2) contains
grin007 [14]
The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.
