By definition, we have that the number of neutrons is given by:

# neutrons = atomic mass - # protons

We know that the atomic mass is equal to 84.

We know the atomic number of Krypton is equal to 36. This means that the Krypton has 36 protons and 36 electrons.

Therefore, substituting values we have:

# neutrons = 84 - 36

# neutrons = 48

Answer:

The Krypton has 48 neutrons

Mass # - atomic # =
# neutrons

84 - 36 = 48

Answer = 48 neutrons

Answer: $r_0=3.037\times 10^{-14}m$

Explanation:

Given

charge on alpha particle=+2e

mass of alpha particle= $6.64\times 10^{-27}$ kg

Charge on gold nucleus=+79e

Velocity at r=1m is $1.9\times 10^{7}$

Using Energy conservation

Kinetic energy of particle will be converting to Potential energy as it approaches to nucleus

therefore

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2+U_{r=1m}=U_{closest\ to\ nucleus}$

$\frac{1}{2}\left ( 6.64\times 10^{-27}\right )\left ( 1.9\times 10^{7}^2\right )+\frac{K\left ( 2e\right )\left ( 79e\right )}{1}=\frac{K\left ( 2e\right )\left ( 79e\right )}{r_0}$

$\frac{1}{2}\left ( 6.64\times 10^{-27}\right )\left ( 1.9\times 10^{7}^2\right )=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 158\times \left ( 1.6\times 10^{-19}\right )}{y}\left [\frac{1}{r_0}-\frac{1}{1}\right ]$
