Chemistry

melomori [17]3 years ago
8 0
Isotope ¹⁸F⁻ contains:
1) p⁺ = 9; number of protons.
Fluorine has a<span>tomic number Z = 9 (total number of protons).
2) e</span>⁻<span> = 10; </span>number of electrons.<span>
In element number of electrons and protons are the same, because element has neutral charge, but because in this example, fluorine is anion with negative charge, it has one electron more.
3) n</span>° = 9; number of neutrons.
<span>Mass number A = 18 is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus, so number of neutrons is A-Z = 18-9=9.</span>

What are the tiny particles that make up protons and neutrons
love history [14]


Protons and neutrons are made up of tiny particles called quarks.

A proton is a baryon made up two Up and one Down  quark.

A neutron is made of two Down quarks and one Up quark.

The Up quarks possess a 2/3 positive charge  while the Down quark possess a 1/3 negative  charge.

When we refer that a proton consists of two Up quarks and a Down, this simply means that its net appearance matches this description.

It is thought that quarks themselves are surrounded by gluons. 

Gluons are the basic particles underlying the strong interaction between protons and neutrons in the nucleus.

Describe the trend for atomic radius from left to right across a period. Use atomic
Allisa [31]

As you move across a period, the atomic radii decreases. ... As you move across a period, electrons are added to the same energy level while protons are also being added. The concentration of more protons creates a higher effective nuclear charge.
