the atomic number of krypton (kr) is 36, and its mass number is 84. how many neutrons does it have? 18 36 48 72
tino4ka555 [31]

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

If the formation of a neutron star leads to a supernova explosion, explain why only three of the hundreds of known pulsars are f
Mandarinka [93]

Explanation:

neutron stars have diameters of about 20km and they are denser than the earth. A rotating neutron star pulsating electromagnetic beam is a named a pulsars but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Only three of hundreds of known pulsar are found in supernova remnants because as neutron stars gets older, they lose energy and starts to decrease their rotational speeds and the neutron star could not radiate particles and energy for long as a pulsar does. there are less existing pulsars compared to supernova explosion rate because the life time of pulsars is obout 10×10^6 years after the neutron can no longer spin at high speeds to produce beams of particles and energy, almost all the pulsars are older  and spin slow to produce light of visible wavelength or X-ray wavelengths and we only get a pulse of radiation from a neutron star as a pulsar as the beam sweeps over earth.

X-rays with an energy of 400 keV undergo Compton scattering with a target. If the scattered X-rays are detected at \theta = 30^{
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

37.91594 keV

Explanation:

E_i = Incident energy = 400 keV

θ = 30°

h = Planck's constant = 4.135×10⁻¹⁵ eV s = 6.626×10⁻³⁴ J s

Incident photon wavelength

\lambda_i=\frac{hc}{E_i}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_i=\frac{4.135\times 10^{-15}\times 3\times 10^8}{400\times 10^3}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_i=3.101\times 10^{-12}\ m

Difference in wavelength

\Delta \lambda=\frac{h}{m_ec}(1-cos\theta)\\\Rightarrow \Delta \lambda=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}}{9.11\times 10^{-31}\times 3\times 10^8}(1-cos30)\\\Rightarrow \Delta \lambda=3.248\times 10^{-13}\ m

\lambda_f=\lambda_i+\Delta \lambda\\\Rightarrow \lambda_f=3.101\times 10^{-12}+3.248\times 10^{-13}\\\Rightarrow \lambda_f=3.426\times 10^{-12}

Final photon wavelength

\lambda_f=\frac{hc}{\lambda_f}\\\Rightarrow E_f=\frac{4.135\times 10^{-15}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.426\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow E_f=362084.06\ eV = 362.08406\ keV

Energy of the recoiling electron

\Delta E=E_i-E_f\\\Rightarrow \Delta E=400-362.08406=37.91594\ keV

Energy of the recoiling electron is 37.91594 keV
