Answer:

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Explanation:

Step 1: The isotope = 197Au

Step 2: Calculate neutrons, electrons and protons

197 = Number of protons + number of neutrons

Isotopes always have the same proton number ( is the same as the atomic number). For Gold (Au) is this 79.

The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons in a neutral atom. Since we have 79 protons, there are also 79 electrons.

All isotopes of Au have a different number of neutrons.

The number of neutrons = 197 -79 = 118 neutrons

The 197Au isotope has 79 protons, 79 electrons and 118 neutrons

Todd drives west to work;54km on way in 1.5hours and then drives home in 2hrs. What is his velocity on the way to work? What is

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Velocity is a physical quantity that expresses the relationship between the space traveled by an object, the time taken for it and its direction. In other words, velocity is associated with the change of position of a body over time.

Its unit in the International System of Units is the meter per second ( $\frac{m}{s}$ ), but it can also be expressed in $\frac{km}{hr}$

So, in this case, the speed on the way to work will be:

$velocity=\frac{54 km}{1.5 hours}$

velocity= 36 $\frac{km}{hr}$

The velocity on the way back home will be:

$velocity=\frac{54 km}{2 hours}$

velocity= 27 $\frac{km}{hr}$
