Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

           Number of protons = 8

           Number of neutrons = 8

          Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

    To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

           1 proton has a mass of  1.00728amu

           8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

          1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

          8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

                                   = 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

                                   = 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

                             = 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

                              = 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Similarities and differences between RNA and DNA?
Lilit [14]
DNA and RNA both contain a cyclic nitrogenous base, a posphate group and a five-carbon sugar.  These are the base units of nucleotides which make up nucleic acids.  DNA contains the nitrogenous bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine wheresas RNA contains the bases; adenine, thymine, cytosine and urasil.  DNA codes for the nucleotides in an RNA molecule, whereas DNA codes for the amino acid sequence in a protein

Please help!
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Electrons Can Donate - 0

Electrons Can Receive- 2

Valence  - 2

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of oxygen is 1s^2s^22p^4. Thus in the p-orbital there is deficiency of two electrons. Hence, it can receive/share electron but it cannot donate electrons. This makes oxygen as a good electron acceptor. Since there is a deficiency of two electrons in the outermost shell of oxygen, the valence of oxygen in thus -2
