What is the affect of neutrons on atoms
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

It's better to explain it.

Explanation:

Neutrons do not affect the electron configuration, but the sum of atomic number and the number of neutrons, or neutron number, is the mass of the nucleus. You know that neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Under normal conditions, protons and neutrons stick together in the nucleus. During radioactive decay, they may be knocked out of there. Neutron numbers are able to change the mass of atoms, because they weigh about as much as a proton and electron together. if your asking What is the role of a neutron in an atom? then, Neutrons are very important in providing stability for an atom. Some atoms don't "need" neutrons - The hydrogen atom does not have any neutrons. However, as the atomic number ( # of protons ) increases, the number of neutrons increases as well.

Protons don't like each other. Naturally, 'positive charges repel', so it wouldn't be possible to have more than one proton in the nucleus. Here's where the neutron comes in.

Hope this helps. :)

A battery has chemical energy, which can be used to generate thermal and radiant energy in a lightbulb. Which best explains what
WARRIOR [948]

Answer is: The total energy in the system remains the same as the decrease in chemical energy equals the increase in thermal and radiant energy.

The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed or transferred from one form (in this example chemical energy) to another (in this example thermal and radiant energy).

Radiant energy or light is the only kind of energy we can see with our eyes. Light have different wavelenght and different color.

Chemical energy - this type of energy is often found in things like batteries or food.
