What is the affect of neutrons on atoms

Chemistry
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago
7 0

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. :)

Should the line of best- fit travel through the origin of the graph ? Explain your reasoning
Finger [1]
 <span>I would say only if one of your data points is the origin. But your experiment could have started with a non-zero velocity, for instance, which would rule out the origin as one of your data points. Even so, a "best fit" is not meant to be perfect, it is only meant to be the best that you can do with your particular data set.</span>

What is limiting reagent?<br>:~}​
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Explanation:

The limiting reagent (or limiting reactant or limiting agent) in a chemical reaction is a reactant that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is completed. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it.

According to the law of conservation of energy which is always true
Lerok [7]
The sum of all energies involved in breaking and or forming chemical bonds within the reactants side of the reaction is equal to the sum of all energies involved in the formation and rearranging of atoms within the product side of the chemical reaction.

The total energies of reactants = the total energies of products.
