Answer:

Neutrons = 11

Explanation:

To get the number of neurons an element has you have to subtract the number of protons from the atomic mass of that element.

The number of protons is equal to the atomic number of that element.

Atomic number = Number of Protons

So the number of protons is 25

Neutrons = Atomic mass - Number of Protons

Neutrons = 36 - 25

Neutrons = 11

Answer: 11

Explanation: To calculate the number of neutrons in the core of an atom, we need to subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. In this problem, we are given our atomic mass which is 36 and our atomic number is 25.

36 - 25 = 11

Therefore, there are 11 neutrons in the core of the atom.

How did Thomson discover the electron?
Hoochie [10]

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that  causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is  cathode to  the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.

3: Consider molecules of hydrogen (tiny ones) and oxygen (bigger ones) in a gas mixture. If they have the same average kinetic e
mezya [45]

Answer: Hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed.

Explanation:

The formula for average speed is  :

\mu_{av}={\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M}}}

R = gas constant  

T = temperature  

M = Molecular Mass

Now putting all the values:

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{H_2}}}/{\sqrt{\frac{8RT}{\pi\times M_{O_2}}}

\frac{\nu_{H_2}}{\nu_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{16}{2}}

\frac{\nu_{av}_{H_2}}{\nu_{av}_{O_2}}=8

Thus average speed of hydrogen is 8 times the average speed of oxygen. Thus hydrogen molecules will have greatest average speed
