Answer:
The period 4 alkaline-earth metal has the name Calcium. An isotope of this element having 20 neutrons has a mass number of 40.
Explanation:
Looking at the periodic table 4th row for the alkaline-earth metal, we can find Calcium which has an atomic number of 20 (or protons number, or z). The mass number is given by the sum of protons and neutrons. If the number of protons in this case is 20 and the number of neutrons is also 20, the mass number A = 40.
Answer:
A. a system that can be affected by the outside environment, by an exchange of matter or energy
Answer:
The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>
Explanation:
This is generally known as relative atomic mass.
Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.
<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>
- <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
- <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>
Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)
= 2.035 + 8.1
= 10.135
The formula for kinetic energy is KE=1/2(mv²). Since both mass and velocity are multiplied by each other, particle with a larger mass needs to be moving slower than a particle with less mass if both have the same kinetic energy. You can think of it as 2KE/m=v² or 2KE/v²=m, If you increase the mass the velocity needs to decrease to keep the same KE value.
I hope this helps. Let me know in the comments if anything is unclear.
