Helium - 4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Its atomic number is 2 (the number of protons). Atomic number is the number of protons in the atom of an element and it identifies the element. All the isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (same number of protons). So, all the isotopes of hellium have 2 protons.
The number 4 that identifies the helium - 4 isotope is the mass number, i.e. the number of protons plus the number of neutron. So, helium-4 isotope has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. While, other isotopes of helium have 2 protons but different number of neutrons.
The atomic number enable us to deduce the number of electrons in an atom because the atoms are neutral, which implies that the positive and negative charge are equal. Given that the magnitude of the charge of electons and protons are equal but the sign is opposed (protons are positve and electrons are negative) the number of electrons in the atom equals the number of protonts. That is why the atomic number is also the number of electrons of the atom.
Answer:
13.5 years
Explanation:
Initial Concentration [Ao] = 10g
Final Concentration [A] = 0.768g
Time t= 50 years
Half life t1/2 = ?
These quantities are related by the following equations;
ln[A] = ln[Ao] - kt ......(i)
t1/2 = ln(2) / k ...........(ii)
where k = rate constant
Inserting the values in eqn (i) and solving for k, we have;
ln(0.768) = ln(10) - k (50)
-0.2640 = 2.3026 - 50k
50k = 2.3026 + 0.2640
k = 2.5666 / 50 = 0.051332
Insert the value of k in eqn (ii);
t1/2 = ln(2) / k
t1/2 = 0.693 / 0.051332 = 13.5 years
They're elements. Elements are the simplest form of any substance that cannot be broken down by any chemical methods, including electrolysis or even heat. Examples include oxygen, hydrogen etc.
Answer:
flashcards, if its the periodic table write out the elements in order
just read the material over and over again
