Why elements with more than 20 protons always have a more neutrons than protons?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
I am Lyosha [343]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Elements that have atomic numbers from 20 to 83 are heavy elements, therefore the ratio is different. The ratio is 1.5:1, the reason for this difference is because of the repulsive force between protons: the stronger the repulsion force, the more neutrons are needed to stabilize the nuclei.

When a beta particle is released from a nucleus of an atom:

The correct answer is option B. i.e. the number of protons is increased.

In beta-particle emission, a neutron is changed into proton, electron and electron neutrino. The electron is emitted as beta particle and the proton remains inside the atom. Thus, the mass number remains same but the atomic number increases by one.

a scientist has developed a new type of material that is suppose to float on water. this material has a mass of 2.0g for every 3
anzhelika [568]
<span>Yes, the material will float because it has a lower density than that of water. A material will float if it has a lower density than that of the liquid it's placed in. So let's first calculate the density of this new material. Density is simply mass per volume, so doing the division. 2.0 g / 3.0 cm^3 = 0.67 g/cm^3 The density of water is 1.0 g/cm^3 and since the density of the new material is less at 0.67 g/cm^3 it will float.</span>
