c. remains the same
The atomic number will only increase if there is an increase in protons.
The average atomic mass (or amu) will increase if the number of neutrons increase.
If an element's mass is greater or less than the average atomic mass, it is known as an isotope.

Since the atomic number of an element consists of neutrons and also electrons, we can conclude that since the number of neutrons are increasing, the atomic number will also increase. That is called an isotope (when the number of neutrons differ)

Final answer:- b. Increases

Calculation the ionisation energy of rubidium per atom, if light of wavelength 5.84 × 10^-8 m produces electrons with a speed of

Masja [62]

E = energy in the light rays = h ν = h c /λ = 6.67 * 10×⁻³⁴ * 3 * 10⁸ / (5.84*10⁻⁸) J = 3.42 * 10⁻18 JKinetic energy of electrons = 1/2 m u^2 = 1/2 * 9.1 * 10⁻³¹ * (2.45 * 10⁶)² J = 2.73 * 10⁻¹⁸ J The ionization energy = (3.42 - 2.73) * 10⁻¹⁸ J = 6.9 * 10⁻¹⁹ J

When adding one atom has 20 protons and a mass of 44. another atom has 20 protons and a mass number of 40. what is the identity

melomori [17]

These atoms are isotopes, they have the same number of protons which means the atoms are of the same ELEMENT, but they have different numbers of neutrons.

When mixtures of gaseous h2 and gaseous cl2 react, a product forms that has the same properties regardless of the relative amoun

lilavasa [31]

According to Dalton's Atomic Theory, the <em>Law of Definite Proportion is applied when a compound is always made up by a fixed fraction of its individual elements.</em> This is manifested by the balancing of the reaction.

The reaction for this problem is:

H₂ + Cl₂ → 2 HCl

1 mol of H₂ is needed for every 1 mole of Cl₂. Assuming these are ideal gases, the moles is equal to the volume. So, if equal volumes of the reactants are available, they will produce twice the given volumes of HCl.
