B. Why is this number called a "mass” number?

Chemistry

deff fn [24]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

The mass of the atom depends on the sub atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom.

That is, the protons and the neutrons.

Electrons are present around the nucleus and the mass is negligible since its mass is very very less.

<em>mass of a proton = 1.673\times10^{-27} kg</em>

<em>mass of a neutron = 1.675 \times 10^{-27} kg</em>

<em>mass of an electron = 9.109 \times 10^{-31} kg</em>

Mass number represents the mass of one particular isotope and it is a whole number for example, _6 C^{13}

Mass number is 13 and atomic number is 6 for the carbon isotope C-13.  

Atomic mass is different from mass number and it is a fraction since it is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes of an atom.

Atomic mass of C is 12.011 amu which we see in the periodic table is the average atomic mass of isotopes C-12, C-13 and C-14.

Answer:

A Walk in the City

Make a list of the number of cars, jeeps, tricycle, and even trucks you've seen on your way to school. On a Decision Making Chart, answer the question, "Does the volume of traffic affect the air quality in my local community?" Write your reasons for saying YES on the Reasons for column, and the reasons for saying NO on the Reasons Against column. At the bottom of a chart, make a position by writing your decision on the same question.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest times of the day. you ask your mom to turn down the thermo
Kipish [7]

If you take your mom's advice, a. the room will be cooled by minimizing heat transfer by reflection.

The Sun is heating your room by its <em>radiation</em>.

The aluminium foil is shiny, so it reflects the Sun’s radiation back outside the window.

<em>Convection</em> is the transfer of heat caused by the air moving around in your room.

<em>Conduction</em> occurs only when a hot object is in contact with a cooler object.

How many grams of Cabr2 would be needed to create 450 mL of a 2.00 M solution?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Mass = 179.9 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Volume of solution = 450 mL

Molarity of solution = 2.00 M

Mass in gram required = ?

Solution:

Volume of solution = 450 mL× 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.45 L

Molarity = number of moles of solute/ Volume of solution in L

2.00 M = number of moles of solute / 0.45 L

Number of moles of solute = 2.00 M × 0.45 L

M = mol/L

number of moles of solute = 0.9 mol

Mass of CaBr₂ in gram:

Mass = number of moles ×  molar  mass

Mass = 0.9 mol ×199.89 g/mol

Mass = 179.9 g

A(n) _____ is equivalent to an electron. gamma ray omega particle alpha particle beta particle
ladessa [460]

Answer:

beta particle

Explanation:

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiations
