PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:

Chemistry
2 answers:
Julli [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Helium: 1

Carbon: 2

Nitrogen: 8

Strontium: 52

Tellurium: 71

Explanation:

An isotope is a<em>tom that belongs to the same chemical element as another, has the same atomic number, but different atomic mass</em>

So the data they give us is the mass number of the isotopes

A= mass number

Z=  atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus).

IS the number that appears in the periodic table

For example, the Z of neon is 10 and the Z of the oxygen is 8

m= number of neutrons

A= Z+ m

m=A-Z

Helium:

m=A-Z\\ m=3-2\\m=1

Carbon:

m=A-Z\\ m=14-12\\m=2

Nitrogen:

m=A-Z\\ m=15-7\\m=8

Strontium:

m=A-Z\\ m=90-38\\m=52

Tellurium:

m=A-Z\\ m=123-52\\m=71

<span>Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8 </span>

How many electrons fit in each shell around an atom?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula:

Electron Capacity = 2n2

The variable n represents the Principal Quantum Number, the number of the energy level in question.

Energy Level
(Principal Quantum Number) Shell Letter Electron Capacity
1 K 2
2 L 8
3 M 18
4 N 32
5 O 50
6 P 72
Keep in mind that an energy level need not be completely filled before electrons begin to fill the next level. You should always use the Periodic Table of Elements to check an element's electron configuration table if you need to know exactly how many electrons are in each level.
