How is an atom's atomic mass number determined? How is an atom's atomic mass number determined? The atomic mass number is determ

ined only by the number of alpha particles emitted. The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of nucleons in the nucleus. The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of beta particles emitted. The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus. The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of electrons in the atom. Request Answer Provide Feedback

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic mass number is determined only by the number of nucleons in the nucleus

<u>Explanation:</u>

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.  It is represented by the symbol 'Z'

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.  It is represented by the symbol 'A'

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Nucleons are defined as the sub-atomic particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

Hence, the atomic mass number is determined only by the number of nucleons in the nucleus

the diagram below shows DNA molecules. What do the broken lines connected to hydrogen atoms represent in this diagram?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer is: hydrogen bonds.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen atom (H), covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as flourine (F), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N) atoms.

According to the principle of base pairing hydrogen bonds could form between adenine and thymine (two hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases) and guanine and cytosine (three hydrogen bonds between this nucleobases).

Adenine and guanine are purine derivatives and thymine and cytosine are pyrimidine derivates.

Preparation the buffer solution: initial pH of buffer solution: ____ Titration of a weak acid with a strong base: initial pH of
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

pH of buffer solution is 7.0

Initial pH of Weak acid is 3.27

Final pH of weak acid is 3.07

Amount of NaOH added is 1ml

Explanation:

Titration is a process in which acid and base are introduced together until a neutral solution is achieved whose pH value is near to buffer solution which is 7.0, the pH value for acid is below 7 while pH value for base is above 7.

Why does it matter if atoms are divisible ???
Andreyy89

Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)

QUICK QUESTION: On the Bohr model, how come potassium has 19 electrons in its valence shell if potassium has a K+? Isn’t it supp
Vlada [557]

Answer:  K only has 1 valence electron.  It will leave with only a little effort, leaving behind a positively charged K^+1 atom.

Explanation:  A neutral potassium atom has 19 total electrons.  But only 1 of them is in potassium's valence shell.  Valence shell means the outermost s and p orbitals.  Potasium's electron configuration is 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^2 3p^6 4s^1.  The 4s orbital is the only orbital in the 4th energy level.  So it has a valency of 1.  This means this electron will be the most likely to leave, since it is the lone electron in the oyutermost energy level (4).  When that electron leaves, the charge on the atom go up by 1.  The atom now has a full valence shell of 3s^2 3p^6, the same as argon, Ar.
