Why does the quantum mechanical description of many-electron atoms make it difficult to define a precise atomic radius?

Physics
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago

<span>Atoms and ions, at least within the quantum mechanical model do not have boundaries that are sharply defined at which the electron distribution becomes zero. When this occurs it can be very difficult to measure an atomic radius. The distance between the electrons in quantum mechanics is not set and would be problematic in determining the precise radius.</span>

NeX [460]

Answer:

a= 4.14 m/s²

Explanation:

We calculate the weight component parallel to the displacement of the block:

We define the x-axis in the direction of the inclined plane , 25° to the horizontal.

W= m*g   : Total block weight

Wx= W*sen25°= m*g* sen25°

We apply Newton's second law :

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

Problem development

We apply the formula (1) to calculate the acceleration of the block:

∑Fx = m*a

Wx = m*a

m*g* sen25°  = m*a  : We divide by m on both sides of the equation

g* sen25° = a

a = g* sen25° = 9.8* sen25° = 4.14 m/s²

The number of neutrons is equal to the atomic number<br> O A True<br> B. False
jonny [76]

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons. The mass number of the atom (M) is equal to the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons is equal to the difference between the mass number of the atom (M) and the atomic number. Therefore, it is true!

yawa3891 [41]
<span>Increased pressure to stop the movement. The brake reduces the acceleration of the engine. The brake absorbs energy at the wheels when it is applied to moving vehicles. It applies a counter torque to the engine. The friction force created by the break stops the vehicle.</span>
