1. Mass number of Lithium-7: 7
Explanation:
- The atomic number of an element is equal to the number of protons inside its nucleus
- The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons+neutrons inside its nucleus
The nomenclature "Element-X", where X is the number of protons+neutrons, is used to indicate the mass number of the isotope. Therefore, an isotope of LIthium-7 has a mass number of 7.
2. An isotope of lithium-8 contains 5 neutrons
Explanation:
Lithium is the third element of the periodic table, so its atomic number is 3, which means that it has 3 protons.
In this problem, we have an isotope of lithium-8, which means that it has a mass number of 8: so, the sum of neutrons+protons in its nucleus is 8:
where p is the number of protons and n the number of neutrons. However, we also know that for lithium p=3, so we can find the number of neutrons:
Temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy of an object’s molecules
I believe the answer is dissolves .....because For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature.
