Why do you think the atomic number is basically represented by the number of protons and not the number of electrons?

Answer:

The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. i think so, hope this helps you

What are possible reasons for a percent yield that is under 100%
matrenka [14]

Answer:

              Percentage Yield is given as,

                 %age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

This shows that the %age yield is directly depending upon the actual yield. And most of the time the percentage yield is less than 100 % because of the following factors.

Impure Starting Materials:

                                           If the starting materials (reactants) are not pure then reaction will not completely form the desired product. Different by products will form which will decrease the %age yield.

Incomplete Reactions:

                                     Not all reactions go to completion. In many reactions the starting material after some time stops forming the product due to different conditions. Some reactions attain equilibrium and stop increasing the amount of product. While, in some reactions a by products (like water) formed often react with the product to give a reverse reactions. Hence, the chemistry of reactions also causes the decrease in %age yield.

Handling:

               Another major reason for decrease in yield is handling the product. Always some of the product is lost during the workup of the reaction like, taking TLC, doing solvent extraction, doing column chromatography, taking characterization spectrums. So, we can conclude that the %age yield will always be less than 100%.

A disk of radius 2.0 cm has a surface charge density of 6.3 μC/m2 on its upper face. What is the magnitude of the electric field
maksim [4K]

Answer:

the electric field at Z = 12 cm is E =   9.68 × 10³ N/C = 9.68 kN/C

Explanation:

Given: radius of disk, R = 2.0 cm = 2 × 10⁻² cm, surface charge density,σ = 6.3 μC/m² = 6.3 × 10⁻⁶ C/m², distance on central axis, z = 12 cm = 12 × 10⁻² cm.

The electric field, E at a point on the central axis of a charged disk is given by E = σ/ε₀(1 - \frac{z}{\sqrt{z^{2} + R^{2} }  })

Substituting the values into the equation, it becomes

E = σ/ε₀(1 - \frac{z}{\sqrt{z^{2} + R^{2} }  }) = 6.3 × 10⁻⁶/8.854 × 10⁻¹²(1 - \frac{0.12}{\sqrt{0.12^{2} + 0.02^{2} } }) = 7.12 × 10⁵(1 - \frac{0.12}{0.1216}) = 7.12 × 10⁵(1 - 0.9864) = 7.12 × 10⁵ × 0.0136 = 0.0968 × 10⁵ = 9.68 × 10³ N/C = 9.68 kN/C

Therefore, the electric field at Z = 12 cm is E =   9.68 × 10³ N/C = 9.68 kN/C
