40o+2 protons electrons And neurons

Chemistry
1 answer:
KatRina [158]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: There are few simple rules to follow.

(1) The atomic number is equal to the number of protons.

Z

= number of protons

(2) In neutrally charged elements, the number of electrons is the same as the number of protons.  

Z

= number of protons = number of electrons (no charge)

Otherwise, positive charge means that the element lost an electron and negative charge means it gained an electron.

(3) The atomic mass is equal to the sum of the number of protons and number of neutrons.

A

= number of protons + number neutrons  

or

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

So if you say that  

Z

= 20 and  

A

= 40, then

A

=  

Z

+ number neutrons

40 = 20 + number of neutrons

40 - 20 = number of neutrons

Therefore,

number of neutrons = 20

two atoms respectively have Z=12, A=26 and Z=14, A=26. Can these two atoms be classified as isotopes of the same element?
aleksley [76]
No because they have the same number of protons not neutrons. fine, their mass nos are equal but isotopy is due to different number of neutrons.

A generator does work on an electric heater by forcing an electric current through it. Suppose 1 kJ of work is done on the heate
azamat

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the heater is 0 kJ

Explanation:

∆U = Q - W

Q is quantity of heat transferred = 1 kJ

W is work done on the heater = 1 kJ

Change in internal energy (∆U) = 1 - 1 = 0 kJ
