The atomic number is determined only by the number of ________ in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represe
sveticcg [70]

Hello!

The atomic number is determined only by the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. But, in a neutral atom it also represents the number of electrons in the electron cloud.


Neutrons are only important in the nucleus for helping us find atomic weight, which varies as we move along the perodic table and does not always equal the same amount of it's atomic number. Which is why it would not be a suitable answer for the first blank space. Electrons do not work either as they do not exist inside the nucleus but rather outside the atom.

The second space, since it states is in the electron cloud, we can deduct that electrons would be an appropriate answer there.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask, but I hope this answers your question.

E. The element 231/90Th decays to 231/91 Pa. Use the laws of conservation of charge and nucleon number to determine the decay pa
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

A negatron emission

Explanation:

We know that radioactivity orginates from instability of the nucleus. When the nucleus is unstable, radioactive emissions are produced in the form of any of these rays:

> Alpha particle emisson

>Beta particles

> Gamma rays

These emissions create a balance for a radioactive decay.

In balancing nuclear reactions we make sure that the charges on both sides must be conserved and that the mass number and atomic numbers conserved too. This means that the sum of mass number and atomic numbers on both side of the reaction must be equal.

The nucleons are the protons and neutrons, they add up to give the mass number. The atomic number is the proton number.

For the given radioactive reaction:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ?

From this equation, we see that the mass number is conserved but the atomic number is not.

The mass number is the superscript whereas the atomic number is the subscript.

Let's say the decay produces an emission of a particle denoted by X

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ᵃₙX

What would the nature of X be?

For the charges and masses to be conserved, X must have mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1.

Checking:

Mass number:

231 = 231 + a ( a is the mass number)

a = 231 - 231 = 0

Atomic number:

90 = 91 + n

n = 90- 91 = - 1

With X having a mass number of 0 and an atomic number of -1, we have a beta particle emission. Specifically, a negatron has been emitted.

A negatron is denoted as ⁰₋₁β which perfectly makes the equation conserved and suits the description of X.

The complete equation is thus written as:

²³¹₉₀Th → ²³¹₉₁Pa + ⁰₋₁β + energy

What do helium (He), neon (Ne), and argon (Ar) have in common?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

A. They have the same number of electron energy shells.  Is false, all the elements are in different periods so, they have different number of lectron energy shells.

B. They are all Halogens.  No, is wrong, halogens are F, Cl ,Br

C. They have the same number of electrons.  is wrong, if they had the same number of electrons they must be they same element and they aren't the same.

D. They are all Noble gases. Yes, it's true they are noble gases, they are the first group in the periodic table from the right.
