The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons
64 = #protons + #neutrons
Find the number of protons given the number of neutrons
64 = #protons + 33
#protons = 31
In a neutral element (such as this), the number of electrons equals the number of protons
#electrons = #protons
#electrons = 31

Answer:

The isotope must have 31 electrons

Explanation:

  • Mass number = (number of neutrons)+(number of protons)
  • Here, mass number of element is 64 and number of neutrons is 33
  • So, number of protons i the element = (mass number)-(number of neutrons) = (64)-(33) = 31
  • Isotope of an element remain present in neutral form.
  • So, number of protons should be equal to number of electrons in that isotope. Because proton has +1 charge and electron has -1 charge
  • So, the isotope must have 31 electrons.

Why do ocean waves make a good source of energy?
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Ocean waves contain tremendous energy potential. Wave power devices extract energy directly from the surface motion of ocean waves. In many areas of the world, the wind blows with enough consistency and force to provide continuous waves along the shoreline.

Why is it difficult to classify hydrogen was a metal or non metal
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Because of its ability to create cations, hydrogen is a nonmetal that belongs to the same category as metals. Despite its presence in Group I (alkali metals) of the periodic table, hydrogen is not considered a metal.

Hydrogen is categorized as a nonmetal. This is due to the fact that it behaves like a non-metal.

Its very confusing lol

Have a nice day

Assinale a alternativa incorreta. *
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

<u>The incorrect choice is the last one:</u>

  • <em>In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.</em>

Explanation:

The translation of the question is:

Choose the incorrect statement. *

  • Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume.

  • Mass and weight are different quantities. Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object.

  • Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus.

  • Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion.

  • In the Leucipo and Democritus atomic model, electrons had negative charges.

<h2>Solution</h2>

The <em>last statement is false</em> because Leucipo and Democritus thought that the atom was an indivisible particle. This is, they did not think there were subatomic particles, such as electrons. Furthermore, the idea of a particle with a negative charge was developed much time (centuries) later.

As for the other statements:

  • <em>Matter is everything that has mass and occupies volume</em>: this is the current definition of matter; for instance, wood, air, atoms, have mass and occupy volume. Thougths, feelings do not have either mass or occupy a volume, they are not matter.

  • <em>Mass and weight are different quantities</em>. <em>Mass is a measure of how much matter an object has, and weight is a measure of the gravitational pull force suffered by the object</em>. Indeed, the mass is determined by the number of atoms of the substance, but weight is the force of attraction from Earth (or other planet, if the object is in other planet). Mass does not change with the location; weight does.

  • <em>Dalton's atomic model has similarities to the atomic model described by Leucipo and Democritus</em>: sure. This is a hystorical question. Leucippus and Democritus were two Greek phylosophers who believed that the matter was formed by tiny solid particles, the atom.

  • <em>Dalton thought that atoms of the same element could not combine, as they developed mutual repulsion</em>. In the times of Dalton, when he developed the law of multiple proportions, atoms of a same kind were thought to repel each other.
