Explanation:
Atomic mass means the sum of total number of protons and neutrons present in an atom.
When an atom is neutral then number of protons equal the number of electrons.
Mass of a proton equals to 1.007276 u, mass of neutron equals to 1.008664 u.
For example, in a
atom there are total 9 protons and number of neutrons is 19 - 9 = 10.
Since, it is a neutral atom so number of electrons will also be 9.
So, total mass will be calculated as follows.
Total mass = 9 (mass of electron + mass of proton)
= 9 (1.007825 u)
= 9.07043 u
Therefore, we can conclude that total mass of protons and electrons in
is 9.07043 u.
Answer:
Because both CaCl2 and CaBr2 both contain elements (Chlorine and Bromine) from the same group (group 7)
Explanation:
Elements are placed into different groups in the periodic table. Elements in the same group are those that have the same number of valence electrons in their outermost shell and as a result will behave similar chemically i.e. will react with other elements in the same manner.
Chlorine and Bromine are two elements belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. They are called HALOGENS and they have seven valence electrons in their outermost shell. Hence, when they form a compound with Calcium, a group two element, these compounds (CaCl2 and CaBr2) will possess similar properties because they have elements that are from the same group (halogen group).
Correct answers:
<span>Nuclear fission and fusion both affect the nucleus of an atom.
</span><span>The final products of fission and fusion are elements that are different than the original.
</span><span>Fission occurs mostly with elements heavier than lead on the periodic table.</span>
