5 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

1) Let us recall that;

Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Where;

Number of protons = ?

Number of neutrons =20

Mass number =39

Number of protons = mass number - number of neutrons

Mass of protons =39 - 20= 19 protons

2) Atomic number = 13

Number of neutrons =14

Then the mass number =13 +14 =27

The symbol of the element is 27X13

The number of protons= the number of electrons =13

The atomic number is the same as the proton number =13

explain how a metal with one valence electron compares with a metal with more than one valence electron
slamgirl [31]

Explanation:

A metal with one valence electron is highly reactive compared to those with more than one electron.

Atoms including those of metals reacts in order attain a stable electronic configuration just like those of noble gases.

An atom with one valence electron have just one electron in its valence shell.

  • Metals generally have large sizes.
  • when the electron in this shell is lost, the metal atom can then attain stability.
  • therefore, such atom will quickly want to combine with any other willing to accept the electron so that they can be stable.
  • Those with more than one electron will find it difficult to lose them.
  • It requires huge energy to remove such electrons compared to the ones with only one valence electron.

Which atomic models does Rutherford’s experimental evidence support? Explain why these models (Dalton, Bohr, Thomson models) are
ipn [44]

Answer:

Rutherford was the first scientist who proposed the nuclear model of the atom. According to his atomic model, most of the space of an atom is empty, while the nucleus containing protons and neutrons lie at the center of the atom while electrons revolve around nucleus in definite orbits.

If we talk about studies of some other scientists like Dalton, Neil Bohr and JJ Thomson, they all are compatible with Rutherford's results to a large extent.

For example: Dalton's atomic model assumed that atoms of any substance are similar in size and atoms react to form compounds. Rutherford's concept indicated that atoms contain electrons and they are in a specific number which can be shared to form compounds.

If we talk about Bohr's model, it states that electrons revolve around nucleus in specific shells, this again is compatible with Rutherford's results which gave the concept of shells.

If we talk about Thomson's Plum pudding model, that describe atom as negative particles floating within a soup of diffuse positive charge. This is also compatible with the results of Rutherford that state that negative electrons surround positive nucleus.

Rutherford's model was best atomic model but still it took help from many previous studies and therefore was compatible with the results of old models.


Hope it help!
