<u>Answer:</u> It determines the mass number of the atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are the subatomic particles that are present in nucleus of an atom. The particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

A = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons

From the above information, we conclude that the number of nucleons determines the mass number of an atom.

The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

Answer: Molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of solute, we use the equation for osmotic pressure, which is:

$\pi=iCRT$

where,

$\pi$ = osmotic pressure of the solution = 19.6 atm

i = Van't hoff factor = 1 (for non-electrolytes)

R = Gas constant = $0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = temperature of the solution = $32^oC=[273+32]=305K$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$19.6atm=1\times C\times 0.0821\text{ L.atm }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 305K$

$C=0.783M$

Thus the molar concentration of the tree sap have to be 0.783 M to achieve this pressure on a day when the temperature is 32°C

Why do the spectra of the molecular species show broader bands compared to atomic spectra such as that seen for the hydrogen ato

Olenka [21]

Explanation:

The atomic spectrum is more like the transitions of electrons among electronic energy levels in an isolated atom. Atomic spectrum is mainly affected by interaction of the transitioning electrons between the nuclei spins and between the other electrons in the same atom.

However, molecular spectrum involve transition of electrons in molecules with two and more atoms(it can be in the same or different). Also, the valence electrons are now in different orbitals than that of the atomic orbitals and the orbital structure has changed the electronic transitions are different
