The atomic mass number does<span> not change because a </span>beta<span> particle has a much smaller </span>mass<span> than the </span>atom<span>. The </span>atomic number<span> goes up because a neutron has turned into an extra proton. </span>Beta decay<span> is fundamentally different from alpha </span>decay<span>. An alpha particle is made of two protons and two neutrons.</span>

19. The strong nuclear force is
netineya [11]

The strong nuclear force is one of the four fundamental forces in nature; the other three are gravity, electromagnetism and the weak force.

As its name implies, the strong force is the strongest force of the four. It is responsible for binding together the fundamental particles of matter to form larger particles.

Calculate the atomic mass of X. The three X isotopes have atomic mass and relative abundances of 27.9769 amu (92.2297%), 28.9765
Irina18 [472]
<h3>Answer:  Si   (choice D)</h3>

This is the element Silicon.

=========================================================

Explanation:

First convert each percentage to its decimal form.

For example, 92.2297% converts to 0.922297 after moving the decimal point two spots to the left.

After doing that, multiply those decimal values with their respective atomic mass unit (amu) values.

  • 27.9769 * 0.922297 = 25.8030109393
  • 28.9765 * 0.046832 = 1.357027448
  • 29.9738 * 0.030872 = 0.9253511536

Then we add up the results

25.8030109393 + 1.357027448 + 0.9253511536 = 28.0853895409

That rounds to about 28.085

Then look at the periodic table to see the atomic mass of Cobalt (Co), Aluminum (Al), Nickel (Ni) and Silicon (Si). The mass values listed in the periodic table are weighted averages of all the isotopes. The units for the mass are still in amu.

  • Cobalt = 58.933
  • Aluminum = 26.982
  • Nickel = 58.693
  • Silicon = 28.085

We have a match with silicon, showing that <u>choice D</u> is the final answer.

The element californium (cf) sells for $1000 per µg. assuming 6.02 x 1023 atoms of cf have a mass of 251 grams, how many atoms o
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:- 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Solution:- It is a simple unit conversion problem. We could solve this using dimensional analysis.

We know that, 1 US dollar = 100 cents

1 cent  = 1 US penny

So, 1 US dollar = 100 US pennies

1g=10^6\mu g

Let's make the set up starting with 1 penny as:

1penny(\frac{$1}{100pennies})(\frac{1\mu g}{$1000})(\frac{1g}{10^6\mu g})(\frac{6.02*10^2^3atoms}{251g})

= 2.40*10^1^0atoms

Therefore, we can bye 2.40*10^1^0atoms of Cf in one US penny.
