How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?

Physics

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The number of neutrons is </u><u>67</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that the atomic number is the number of protons. If we subtract the atomic number from the mass number, we can actually find the number of neutrons.

So

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number

Neutrons = 90 - 23 = 67

a ray of light incident on a mirror, at an angle of 45°. Another mirror is placed at an angle of 45° to the first ones as shown.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

If the ray of light is deflected by 45 degrees by the first mirror its total deflection by mirror (I) is 90 deg. (incident = 45 and exit ray equals 45 deg)

The second mirror will cause a net deflection of 90 degrees and the total deflection will be 180 deg or in opposite  direction to the  incident ray.

A 0.85 N force exists between a 7.1 * 10 ^ - 6 * C charge 5.4 m away. What is the magnitude of the second charge ? Please show w
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force between charge is given by the following expression

F = k Q₁ Q₂ / R² , k = 9 x 10⁹ , Q₁ and Q₂ are charges , R is distance between charges .

Putting the given values ,

.85  = 9 x 10⁹ x 7.1 x 10⁻⁶ x Q₂ / 5.4²

Q₂ = .85 x  5.4² / (9 x 10⁹ x 7.1 x 10⁻⁶ )

= .38788  x 10⁻³ C .

= 387.88 x 10⁻⁶ C .

This is the photoelectric effect, and it is best explained by the particle model of light.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of negatively charged particles and electromagnetic radiation that hits an object.

The photoelectric effect shows how electrons can be released from a given object when this material is absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

The photoelectric effect is a fundamental piece of evidence for understanding the nature of light particles.
