Answer: 3.125\ g

Explanation:

Given

Initial mass A_o=50\ g

half-life is T_{\frac{1}{2}}=5\ years

At any time the left amount is given by

A=A_o2^{-\dfrac{t}{T_{\frac{1}{2}}}}\\\\\text{Insert the values}\\\\A=50\cdot 2^{-\dfrac{20}{5}}\\\\A=50\cdot 2^{-4}\\\\A=\dfrac{50}{16}\\\\A=3.125\ g

If an atom has an atomic number of 6 and and abdomens mass of 12 how many electrons does it have
Basile [38]
Atomic number refers to the proton number of the atom itself. Number of electrons in an atom (an atom that is not reacted with any other molecules / Just the atom alone), is the same as the number of protons, because each electron has 1 negative charge, and each proton 1 positive charge, where they cancel out on each other to become a neutral charge.

So, when atomic number is 6, proton number is also 6, and number of electrons will also be 6 in that atom.

Hope this helps! :)

C) The atom must contain some centrally located positive charge. He called this core of positive charge the nucleus.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that the atom contains some centrally located positive charge. He called the core the nucleus.

Rutherford developed the nuclear model of the atom.

  • In a bid to explain his observation, Rutherford suggested the nuclear model.
  • The model consists of small positively charged center called the nucleus.
  • Nearly all the mass is concentrated in the nucleus.
  • The extranuclear space is made up of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
