How many neutrons, electrons, and protons are in carbon?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vika [28.1K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

six protons, six neutrons, and six electrons

Explanation:

alekssr [168]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Six protons (because its proton number, at the bottom, is 6)

Six electrons (because the number of protons and electrons in an atom is the same)

The symbol also tells us that the total number of protons and neutrons in a carbon atom is 12. Note that you can work out the number of neutrons from the mass number and atomic number. In this example, it is 12 - 6 = 6 neutrons.

What happens when iodoform is heated with silver powder.​
wel

When iodoform is heated with silver powder then it will form acetylene.

<h3>What is iodoform?</h3>

CHI3 is the chemical formula for iodoform, an organo-iodine compound. A pale yellow, crystalline, volatile chemical, it has a deep and unique smell and, akin to chloroform, sweetish taste. It's even used as a cleanser.

The reaction of iodoform is written as.

When iodoform will react with silver powder then it will form acetylene and silver nitrate.

CHI_{3} +6Ag+ CHI_{3} → C_{2} H_{2} + 6Ag I.

Therefore, when iodoform is heated with silver powder then it will form acetylene.

(a) Calculate the energy released by the alpha decay of 222 86Rn.
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

a). The energy released by the alpha decay of 222 Rn is to 218 Po :

= 5.596 MeV

b).The energy of the alpha particle is 5.5 MeV

c) The recoil energy of Po = 0.096 MeV

Explanation:

The equation for the alpha decay of Rn to Polonium is:

_{86}^{222}\textrm{Rn}\rightarrow _{2}^{4}\textrm{He}+_{84}^{218}\textrm{Po}

The energy of the decay process can be calculated using:

\Delta E=\Delta mc^{2}

\Delta m = Change in the mass

Mass of Po = 218.008965 u

Mass of He = 4.002603 u

Mass of Rn = 222.017576 u

\Delta m = mass of Po + mass of He - mass of Rn

=  4.002603 + 218.008965-222.017576  

= - 0.006008

\Delta E=m(931.5MeV)

\Delta E=-0.006008\times 931.5MeV

= -5.596 MeV

<u><em>The negative sign means energy is released during the process.</em></u>

b) The energy of the alpha particle is :

\frac{Po\ mass }{Rn\ mass}\times E

\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times \Delta E

\frac{218.0089}{222.0175}\times 5.596

= 5.494 MeV

= 5.5 MeV

c).

Recoil energy: When the parent nucleus is at rest before the decay then , there must be the some recoil of daughter nucleus to conserve the momentum.This is termed as recoil energy.

<u><em>The energy of the recoil polonium atom :</em></u>

The formula for recoil energy is :

<em>The total energy - the kinetic energy</em>

<em>= 5.596 - 5.5 </em>

<em>= 0.096 MeV</em>

Which group/family contains elements with the smallest radius within the same period?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Halogens

Explanation:

From the given choices, the halogens will have the smallest radius within the same period.

The size of an atom is estimated by the atomic radius. This is taken as half of the inter-nuclear distance between two covalently bonded atoms of non-metallic elements or half of the distance between two nuclei in the solid state.

  • Across a period in the periodic table, atomic radii decrease progressively from left to right.
  • Down a group from top to bottom, atomic radii increase progressively due to the addition of successive shells.

Since halogen is the right most group from the choices given, it will have the smallest radius.

12. If the total pressure exerted by 3 gases is 45 atm and each individual gas has the
Bumek [7]

Answer:

Partial pressure for each of the three gases, in the mixture is 15 atm

Explanation:

Remember that the total pressure of a mixture, is the sum of partial pressures from the gases contained in the mixture.

Our total pressure = 45 atm

The 3 gases have the same pressure, so we can propose this equation:

3x = 45 atm

where x is the partial pressure for each of the three gases.

x = 45/3 → 15 atm
