In which way does the number of neurons affect the mass and stability of the nucleus

1 answer:

7 0

A major concept to remember: “Nature seeks the lowest energy state”. In the lowest energy state, things are most stable...less likely to change. The following information that talks about stability is all based on the nucleus tending towards the lowest energy state. Stable atoms have low energy states.

Elements occur in a number of isotopic forms. In this problem, you will learn about the notation used to distinguish different i

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Number of protons, Z = 14
Number of neutrons, N = 14

Explanation:

1) About isotopes:

Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element. Hence, they have the atomic number (Z), which is the number of protons, the same number of electrons (talking about to neutral atoms, not ions), and different number of neutrons N).

This is, it is the number of neutrons what distinguish different isotopes of an element.

2) About the notation used to distinguish different isotopes:

A superscript and a subscript, both to the left of the chemical symbol of the element, are used to distinguish different isotopes:

A ←------------- This superscript tells the mass number of the isotope

X ←--------- This is the chemical symbol of the element

Z ←-------------- This subscript is the atomic number of isotope

In our case, the notiation for the isotope of silicon is: ²⁸₁₄ Si

So, we have:

28 is the mass number (A)
14 is the atomic number (Z)
Si is the chemical symbol.

Now, you can answer the questions of the part A:

Number of protons: Z = 14

Number of neutrons N:

mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

A = Z + N

⇒ N = A - Z = 28 - 14 = 14

In conclusion:

Number of protons, Z = 14
Number of neutrons, N = 14

Which of the species below can act as a lewis base? bf3 nf3 oh− alcl3?

IRINA_888 [86]

Among BF₃, NF₃, OH⁻ and ALCl₃ both NF₃ and OH⁻ acts as a lewis base.

Explaination:
According to lewis theory of acid and base, base is a specie which has either lone pair of electrons or is negatively charged. So, in the given compounds Nitrogen trifluoride contain lone pair of electron on nitrogen and Hydroxide contains a negative charge on oxygen. And botha are capable to donate these electrons to a lewis acid (electrophiles).
