The atomic mass of helium-4 is 4.0026 amu. How many of each
1 answer:
Answer:
Protons: 2.
Electrons: 2.
Neutrons: 2.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since an atom's atomic number is equal to the number of electrons, considering the electron configurations, taking into account that helium-4 is neither positively nor negatively charged, we can infer that the number of electrons equal the number of protons, which in this case are 2, due to the fact that is atomic number is 2.
Moreover, as helium-4's atomic number is 4 as a whole number, we compute the number of neutrons by using the shown below equation:

Explanation:
We are given a number of particles and asked to convert to moles.
<h3>1. Convert Particles to Moles </h3>1 mole of any substance contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, formula units) : 6.022 *10²³ or Avogadro's Number. For this question, the particles are not specified.
So, we know that 1 mole of this substance contains 6.022 *10²³ particles. Let's set up a ratio.
We are converting 2.98*10²³ particles to moles, so we multiply the ratio by that value.
The units of particles cancel.
The original measurement of particles (2.98*10²³) has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same.
For the number we found, 3 sig figs is the thousandth place.
The 8 in the ten-thousandth place (0.4948522086) tells us to round the 4 up to a 5 in the thousandth place.
2.98*10²³ particles are equal to approximately <u>0.495 moles.</u>
