Particle mass charge location
protons 1.673*10 ^ - 27 kg 1.6*10 ^ -19 C in the nucleus
neutrons 1.675*10 ^ - 27 kg 0 in the nucleus
electron 9.11 * 10 ^ - 31 kg -1.6 * 10 ^ - 19 C around the nucleus (orbitals)
Protons and neutrons have almost same masses. Mass of electrons is 1/1840 the mass of the protons.
Protons and electrons have the same magnitud of charge with different sign. Protons are positive and electrons are negative. Neutrons do not have charge.
Answer:-
Alpha decay
Explanation:-
Uranium 238 has atomic number 92 and mass number 238.
Thorium 234 has atomic number 90 and mass number 234.
So, the change in atomic number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234 = 92 – 90 = 2
So, the change in mass number as uranium 238 disintegrates into thorium234= 238 – 234 = 4
We know that when an alpha particle is emitted, the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.
So when an atom of uranium 238 undergoes radioactive decay to form an atom of thorium-234, alpha decay has occurred.
Answer:
Atomic mass of an element is not a whole number because It contains isotopes. For example, chlorine has two isotopes 1735Cl and 1737Cl with natural abundances in the approximate ratio of 3:1. Hence, the average atomic mass of chlorine is approximately 35.5 g/mol.
Hope this helps! If so please mark brainliest and rate/heart if it did to help my account out!!
After a good long amount of research, I found that the scientific answer to this question would be a big ol’ dink
