Answer: With the exception of hydrogen, all atoms have three main parts. The parts of an atom are protons, electrons, and neutrons. A proton is positively charged and is located in the center or nucleus of the atom. Electrons are negatively charged and are located in rings or orbits spinning around the nucleus.
Explanation:
Answer :
According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of reactants must be equal to the mass of products.
The balanced chemical reaction is,
As we know that the molar mass of magnesium is 24 g/mole, the molar mass of 
is 32 g/mole and the molar mass of magnesium oxide is 40 g/mole.
From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that
As, 1 mole of magnesium react 
mole of oxygen to give 1 mole of magnesium oxide.
So, the mass of Mg is 24 g, the mass of 
and the mass of MgO is 40 g.
That means 24 g of Mg react with 16 g to give 40 g of MgO.
<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
- Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
-
Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>
<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
b. change into a different element altogether.
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
- <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
- <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
-
Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
Answer: E = 2.455 x 10^5 N/C
Explanation:
q1 = 1.2x10^-7C
q2 = 6.2x10^-8C
Electric field, E = kQ/r²
where k = 9.0x10^9
since the location is (27 - 5)cm from q1
hence electric field, E1 = k*q1/r²
E1= (9x10^9 x 1.2x10^-7)/(0.22)² = 22314.05 N/C
for q2:
E1 = k*q2/r²
E2 at 5cm
E2 = (9x10^9 x 6.2x10^-8)/(0.05)² = 223200 N/C
Hence, the total electric field at 5cm position is
E = E1 + E2
E = 22314.05 + 223200 = 245514.05 N/C
E = 2.455 x 10^5 N/C
