The charged subatomic particles in an atom are protons and electrons.

For an atom to be electrically neutral, the number of protons must be equal to the number of electrons to cancel out the charge exerted by the electrons.

Therefore, if the atom has 13 electrons, then the atom also has 13 protons. In other words, the atom has an atomic number of 13.

The mass number of an atom is the sum of the number if the atomic number or number of protons and the number of neutrons. Therefore, it’s mass number is 13+15=28.

Answer:

28

Explanation:

it states that the atom is neutral, meaning the number of electrons and protons are the same. so if there are 13 electrons, there are 13 protons. And the mass number is neutrons plus protons. So 13+15 is 28

Cite two important quantum-mechanical concepts associated with the Bohr model of the atom.(b) Cite two important additional refi
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: Bohr postulated that electronic energy levels are quantized. Secondly, a photon of light of a particular frequency is emitted when electrons move from a higher to a lower energy levels.

Explanation:

The Bohr model of the atom is the immediate predecessor of the wave mechanical model of the atom. The wave mechanical model refined the Bohr's model by treating the electron as a wave having a wave function psi. The wave function describes the identity of the electron. From Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the position of a particle cannot be accurately and precisely measured. Hence the wave mechanical model added that electrons are not localized in orbits according to Bohr's model but the integral of psi squared dx gives the probability of finding the electron within a given space.

A fluorine atom has 9 positive charge,9 negative charges and a mass of 19. Describe the structure of its atom.
Tanya [424]
The atomic structure of the atom contains 9 positively charged particles (protons) and 10 neutrally charged particles (neutrons) in the center of the atom in a clump called the nucleus. Those 9 negatively charged particles (electrons) are moving around outside of the nucleus.
There are 10 neutral charges, because the mass of 19 comes from the number of neutral charges plus the number of positive charges.
To calculate the number of neutral charges, subtract the positive charges from the mass (19 - 9), and you get the number of neutral charges (10).
