How does beta decay affect the atomic number?

1 answer:

6 0

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

Si tuvieras que definir los atomos segun los postulados de Dalton, dirias que los atomos son particulas:

Arada [10]

Answer:

Según el científico inglés John Dalton, los átomos son esferas elásticas e indivisibles. Así, según él, el átomo es el bloque de construcción más pequeño de la materia. Es homogéneo e indivisible, y todos los átomos de un elemento químico dado son idénticos (es decir, tienen el mismo conjunto de propiedades).

Aunque se descubrió a finales del siglo XIX que los átomos están hechos de partículas aún más pequeñas y pueden sufrir transformaciones, y que los átomos de un elemento dado pueden diferir ligeramente entre sí (isótopos), la teoría de Dalton fue la base para el desarrollo de la tecnología química moderna.

Alveoli are tiny sacs of air in the lungs. Their average diameter is 4.50 × 10−5 m. Calculate the uncertainty in the velocity of

Arisa [49]

Answer: The uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Explanation:

The diameter of the molecule will be equal to the uncertainty in position.

The equation representing Heisenberg's uncertainty principle follows:

$\Delta x.\Delta p=\frac{h}{2\pi}$

where,

$\Delta x$ = uncertainty in position = d = $4.50\times 10^{-5}m$

$\Delta p$ = uncertainty in momentum = $m\Delta v$

m = mass of oxygen molecule = $5.30\times 10^{-26}kg$

h = Planck's constant = $6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg\times \Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s}{2\times 3.14}\\\\\Delta v=\frac{6.627\times 10^{-34}kgm^2/s^2}{2\times 3.14\times 4.50\times 10^{-5}m\times 5.30\times 10^{-26}kg}=4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$

Hence, the uncertainty in the velocity of oxygen molecule is $4.424\times 10^{-5}m/s$
