What is the affect of neutrons on atoms

Answer:

It's better to explain it.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not affect the electron configuration, but the sum of atomic number and the number of neutrons, or neutron number, is the mass of the nucleus. You know that neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Under normal conditions, protons and neutrons stick together in the nucleus. During radioactive decay, they may be knocked out of there. Neutron numbers are able to change the mass of atoms, because they weigh about as much as a proton and electron together. if your asking What is the role of a neutron in an atom? then, Neutrons are very important in providing stability for an atom. Some atoms don't "need" neutrons - The hydrogen atom does not have any neutrons. However, as the atomic number ( # of protons ) increases, the number of neutrons increases as well.

Protons don't like each other. Naturally, 'positive charges repel', so it wouldn't be possible to have more than one proton in the nucleus. Here's where the neutron comes in.

Hope this helps. :)

copper is not a stone, copper is not a consumption resource, and copper is not renewable, that means that :

d. nonrenewable resource

Explanation:

A nonrenewable source is a source of economic value that cannot be immediately displaced by natural means on a level equal to its destruction. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas, and coal are estimated nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their production takes billions of years.

An unknown gaseous substance has a density of 1.06 g/L at 31 °C and 371 torr. If the substance has the following percent composi

Anarel [89]

Answer:

C) C4H6 - Right answer

Explanation:

Let's combine the Ideal Gases Law with density to get the molecular formula for the unknown gas.

Density = mass / volume

1.06 g /L means that 1.06 grams of compound occupy 1 liter of volume.

P . V = n . R . T

Pressure in Torr must be converted to atm

760 Torr are 1 atm

371 Torr are __ (371 .1)/760 = 0.488 atm

0.488 atm . 1L = 1.06g/MM . 0.082 . 304K

(0.488 atm . 1L) / 0.082 . 304K = 1.06g/ MM

Mass / Molar mass = Moles → That's why the 1.06 g / MM

0.0195 mol = 1.06g / MM

1.06g/0.0195 mol = MM → 54.3 g/m

Now, let's use the composition

100 g of compound have 88.8 g of C

54.3 g of compound have ___ (54.3 . 88.8) /100 = 48 g of C

100 g of compound have 11.2 g of H

54.3 g of compound have __ (54.3 . 11.2)/100 = 6 g of H

48 g of C are included un 4 atoms

6 g of H are included in 6 atoms

wolverine [178]

Answer:

The two elements are POLONIUM and RADIUM.

Explanation:

Maria Curie is a French physicist and chemist, though she was of a Polish naturals. She was the first woman to receive a Noble Price which she earned for conducting leading and head way research on radioactivity. She discovered the theory of radioactivity; also the techniques isolating radioactive isotopes. These helped her and her husband discover Polium and Radium.

an engineer wishes to design a container that will hold 12.0 mol of ethane at a pressure no greater than 5.00x10*2 kPa and a tem

OleMash [197]

Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

$P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T$ ,

$\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}$ .

where

$P$ is the pressure of the gas,
$V$ is the volume of the gas,
$n$ is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
$R$ is the ideal gas constant, and
$T$ is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of $R$ will be $8.314$ if $P$ , $V$ , and $T$ are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

$P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa$ ;
$V$ shall be in cubic meters, $\rm m^{3}$ ;
$T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K$ .

Apply the ideal gas law:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}$ .
