- The subatomic particle possessing the largest

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

Answer:

B. electrons possess the largest charge-to-mass ratio among the subatomic particles listed in the four choices.

Explanation:

Consider the mass of each particle. Express the masses in atomic mass units:

  • Protons: approximately 1.007 amu each;
  • Neutrons: approximately 1.009 amu each;
  • Electrons: approximately 0.0005 amu each.

Similarly, consider the charge on each particle. Express the charges in multiples of the fundamental charge:

  • Protons: +1 e;
  • Neutrons: 0;
  • Electrons: -1 e.

Calculate the charge-to-mass ratio for the three species:

  • Protons: approximately \rm 0.99\; e\cdot amu^{-1};
  • Neutrons: 0;
  • Electrons: approximately \rm 1,800\;e \cdot amu^{-1}.

Almost all nuclei contain protons and neutrons. The only exception is the hydrogen-1 nucleus, which contains only one proton and no neutron. The mass of the nucleus is approximately the same as the sum of its components' masses. The extra neutron will only add to the mass of the nucleus (the denominator) without contributing to the charge (the numerator.) As a result, the charge-to-mass ratio of nuclei will be positive but no greater than the charge-to-mass ratio of protons.

Among the particles in the four choices, the charge-to-mass ratio is the greatest for electrons.

Match the following family of elements to its group.
docker41 [41]

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we simply use the periodic table of elements which groups elements based on their atomic numbers.

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons it contains. The protons are the positively charged particles within an atom.

  • The vertical arrangement of elements on the periodic table is the group.
  • The horizontal arrangement of elements is the period.

Now;

Noble gases  belongs to group 18

Alkali earth metals belongs to group 2

Halogens belongs to group  17

Alkali metals belongs to group 1

Transition metals belongs to group 3-12
