Answer: b. the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Explanation:

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

In an atom, when neutrons or protons are lost or gains, it directly affects the mass number of an atom.

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom.

Atomic number = Number of electrons = Number of protons

Thus the mass number of an element is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

The half-life for the radioactive decay of ce−141 is 32.5 days. if a sample has an activity of 3.8 μci after 162.5 d have elapse
Umnica [9.8K]
Answer : 121.5 <span>μCi

Explanation : We have Ce-141 half life given as 32.5 days so if the activity is 3.8 </span><span>μci after 162.5 days of time elapsed we have to find the initial activity.

We can use this formula;

</span>\frac{N}{ N_{0} } =  e^{-( \frac{0.693 X  T_{2} }{T_{1}})

3.8 / N_{0} = e^ ((0.693 X 162.5 ) / 32.5) = 121.5
<span>
On solving we get, The initial activity as 121.5  </span>μci

Do atoms lend and borrow electrons from inner shells
zaharov [31]
False. They don't borrow electrons at all. They already have their respective electron affinities. This is called as electronegativity, and it's an occurence where it already has its own from its actual structure. It never borrows any electrons at all.
