If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?

Physics
1 answer:
lbvjy [14]3 years ago
6 0

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)

Weight is used most often for measuring____________________ whereas volume is used most often for measuring_____________________
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid whereas volume is used most often for measuring liquid.

Explanation:

Weight is used most often for measuring solid, because solids have definite shape.  Weight is usually expressed in Newton (N) because it is a function of mass and gravity. ( weight = mass x gravity).

Whereas  volume is used most often for measuring liquid, usually expressed in cubic meter (m³) because liquids have no definite shape, rather they occupy the volume of their container.

  • It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
  • It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.

If you wanted to know how big a tiger is, which measurements would you use?
valina [46]

Answer:

meter, kilogram

Explanation:

Here we want to know how big the tiger is. This means that we want to measure its size and possibly its mass.

The size is actually a measure of the length of the tiger, and length is measured in meters.

The mass of an object, instead, is a measure of the "amount of matter" in the substance, and it is measured in kilograms.

The other options are wrong because:

- The second is the unit of time

- The candela is the unit of the luminous intensity

- The mole is the unit of the amount of substance, and it is used for gases

- The ampere is the unit of the current
