There are 2 places where charge is located in the atom:

the nucleus contains neutrons (zero charge) and protons (positive charge)

Around the nucleus there are electrons located on electron shields and the charge of electrons is equal to the charge of protons in the nucleus, but have negative sign.

To sum it all up we can say that the charge of protons in the nucleus is reduced by the charge of electrons on the orbits to make the atom electrically neutral.

Answer:

The nuclei of most atoms also contain neutrons . The masses of subatomic particles are very tiny. ... Since the nucleus contains protons and neutrons, most of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus. Protons and electrons have electrical charges that are equal and opposite.

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr

matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = $6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}$

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of $Sn^{124}$ = 5.80% X $4.16X10^{23}$

Total atoms of $Sn^{124}$ = $2.41X10^{22}$ atoms

the mass of $Sn^{124}$ will be = $\frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g$

When an electron in a 2p orbital of a particular atom makes a transition to the 2s orbital, a photon of approximate wavelength 6

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

Explanation:

Wavelength of the photon emitted = $\lambda =646.3 nm =646.3\times 10^{-9} m$

Energy of the photon will corresponds to the energy difference between 2p and 2s orbital = E

Energy of the photon is given by Planck's equation:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }$

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js$

c = Speed of the light = $3\times 10^8 m/s$

$E=\frac{6.626\tiomes 10^{-34} Js\times 3\times 10^8 m/s}{646.3\times 10^{-9} m}$

$E=3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

The energy difference between these 2p and 2s orbitals is $3.07\times 10^{-19} J$

Please help me. How do I do ideal gas law?

Tcecarenko [31]

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).
