atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles; neutrons, protons and electrons
atomic number is the number of protons which is characteristic for the element. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
mass number is the sum of the neutrons and protons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. since they are the same element number of protons are the same but number of neutrons vary.
therefore 2 isotopes are of the same element so they have the same number of protons.
Answer:
37S
Explanation:
Radioactivity is the spontaneous emission of particles and / or electromagnetic radiation by unstable atomic nuclei leading to their disintegration.
We have two main types of radioactivity: radioactive decay and artificial transmutation.
In radioactive decay ( natural radioactivity ), a naturally occurring radioactive element like Uranium-238 disintegrates or decays into more stable isotopes with the emission of particles and/or radiation.
23892U = 23490Th + 42He
Artificial transmutation is the collision of two particles where one particle captures the other used to bombard it. There is subsequent production of isotopes similar or different from the bombarded particle. Neutrons, alpha particles ( helium nucleus ), electrons, protons can be used to bombard elements.
147N + 42He = 178O + 11P
For the above question which is artificial transmutation, the reaction equation is
4018Ar + 10n = 3716S + 42He
So, the neutron capture by Argon-40 will produce a radioisotope Sulphur-37 with the emission of an alpha particle.
false
because science is an ever-growing subject we can never stop learning from it and expanding our knowledge.
(sorry that's the best that I can do)
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />
Because that's where they come from. Coal, oil, and natural gas are the products
of dead dinosaurs rotting in the ground under great pressure for millions of years.
