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

If a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, what will be the new element?

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

Explanation:

The beta decay is given by:

$^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z+1}Y + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

Where:

A: is the mass number

Z: is the number of protons

β⁻: is a beta particle = electron

$\bar{\nu_{e}}$ : is an antineutrino

The neutral atom has 88 electrons, so:

$e^{-} = 88 = Z$

Hence the element is radium (Ra), it has A = 226.

If Ra undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, we have:

$^{226}_{88}Ra \rightarrow ^{226}_{89}Ac + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

$^{226}_{89}Ac \rightarrow ^{226}_{90}Th + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}$

Therefore, if a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay the new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

I hope it helps you!

How can trace fossils provide info on how the organism lived

iragen [17]

Fossils provide a window in Earth's history by showing us how they existed in the past. They can be dated through several ways and can show us how animals and plants have evolved over millions of years. Also, fossils can help us better understand ancient disasters by the inclusion of elements (such as volcanic ash or dust from major space object impacts) and how they affected the life on earth)
