The mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 if given mass is 234.04360 amu is 1.85864 amu.
<h3>How do we calculate atomic mass?</h3>
Atomic mass (A) of any atom will be calculated as:
A = mass of protons + mass of neutrons
In the Thorium-234:
Number of protons = 90
Number of neutrons = 144
Mass of one proton = 1.00728 amu
Mass of one neutron = 1.00866 amu
Mass of thorium-234 = 90(1.00728) + 144(1.00866)
Mass of thorium-234 = 90.6552 + 145.24704 = 235.90224 amu
Given mass of thorium-234 = 234.04360 amu
Mass defect = 235.90224 - 234.04360 = 1.85864 amu
Hence required value is 1.85864 amu.

Answer:
Chemical reactions involve breaking chemical bonds between reactant molecules (particles) and forming new bonds between atoms in product particles (molecules). The number of atoms before and after the chemical change is the same but the number of molecules will change.
Explanation:
For a reaction to occur, there should be mobility of ions in reactant side.
If the reactant is larger, its mobility will be lesser than that of smaller ones.
So reactants smaller in size have higher mobility which makes reaction faster.
Hence D is the correct option.
Hope this helps, have a great day/night ahead!
I would say the most correct answer is Kilo, as in kilometers. The store would certainly not be milli, or millimeters away from you, would it now? :)
Hope this helps!
I believe so, looks like it
