Answer:
Cabon-12 has same average atomic weight and mass number.
Explanation:
carbon-12 has average atomic weight 12 amu and mass number of 12.
amu represents average of mass of a nucleon.
As carbon-12 has same average atomic mass and mass number therefore carbon-12 is a good standard to determine average mass of a nucleon.
Again, abundance of carbon-12 isotope is almost equal to 99%. Therefore fluctuation of average atomic weight from 12 amu is very very low.
So, carbon-12 is taken as a standard to determine mass of a nucleon.
Hence atomic mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu.
Answer:
The answers are options b , c and d.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
A piece of gold foil was hit with alpha particles, which have a positive charge. Most alpha particles went right through. This showed that the gold atoms were mostly empty space. Some particles had their paths bent at large angles. A few even bounced backward. The only way this would happen was if the atom had a small, heavy region of positive charge inside it.
Yes as there is advertisements for this as a alternative to glue.<span />
My science text book said that it was either diamond or gold. Gold may not be right, but I am pretty sure diamond is.
Sorry if I got this wrong.
