Answer:
An -ite or -ate ending means a polyatomic ion that includes oxygen is in the formula.
ate = one more O than -ite
Explanation:
Example:
NO2 is nitrite
NO3 is nitrate
You can see that the molecules are made of the same elements, however they have more or less of one of the elements (i.e. oxygen).
Answer:
No of neutrons and protons decides mass of the atom. Electrons having negligible
mass are ignored.
Mass of atom
Mass of atom= sum of no of protons(Z) and neutons(N)
=Z+N
For eg:
In hydrogen atom,
Mass of H= Z+N
=1+0
=1 AMU
The energy released in a nuclear reaction may appear only in one of these three ways Kinetic energy of the products. The emission of gamma rays. And gamma rays are emitted by unstable nuclei in their own transition that is from a high energy state that than goes to a lower energy state that is properly known as gamma decay.
