Answer:
3. Equal numbers of protons and neutrons
Explanation:
The nucleus becomes unstable if the ratio of protons to neutrons is less than 1:1 or more than 1:1.5.
The most stable nucleus has a neutron proton ratio of 1:1 which means that they can not release a neutron or a proton to decay.
Nucleus 3 is therefore the most stable.
It has to be 120g because each and every chemical equation has to satisfy the law of conservation of mass, ie sum of mass of products is always equal to the sum of masses of reactants. If reactants=120g, then products=120g
6 protons it have to be neutral
Answer:
24.7 amu
Explanation:
An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.
In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:
First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.
I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.
65/100 = 0.65
35/100 = 0.35
% fraction
65.0 0.65
35.0 0.35
total100.0 1
Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction
24 (0.65) = 15.6
26 (0.35) = 9.1
% fraction uma uma
65.0 0.65 24 15.6
35.0 0.35 26 9.1
total100.0 1 24.7
Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.
15.6+9.1 = 24.7
Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.

Answer:Effect of Catalysts on the Activation Energy. Catalysts provide a new reaction pathway in which a lower Activation energy is offered. A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by lowering the activation energy so that more reactant molecules collide with enough energy to surmount the smaller energy barrier.
