The nuclei of atoms become unstable when the repelling forces of the protons cannot be balanced by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It then re-arranges itself randomly to a more stable configuration by emitting any of a series of particles. During radioactive decay, an atom does not collapse.
Since an atom is mostly empty space - that is it’s nucleus is relatively distant from the electron shells so, in the presence of extreme forces such as gravity inthe collapse of a large star, the inward pressures on the atom overcome the natural balance of the atomic structure and the ‘empty space’ disappears as nuclei are mashed together by the intense pressures and a neutron star is formed. Under even more external pressure, even the neutron star can collapse to form a black hole.
Answer:
Map scale refers to the relationship (or ratio) between distance on a map and the corresponding distance on the ground.
Explanation:
For example, on a 1:100000 scale map, 1cm on the map equals 1km on the ground.
Answer: 12.18 u
Explanation: The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.
In other words, each stable isotope will contribute to the average mass of the element proportionally to its abundance.
Answer:
can you be more clear with your question :
Carbon atomic number ⇒ 6
Carbon mass number ⇒ 12.
Carbon atomic number - Carbon mass number = number of neutrons.
12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.
Proton charge ⇒ +1
The total charge of the nucleus of a carbon atom ⇒⇒⇒ +6.
So the naswer is (3) +6
