Answer:
Cl
Explanation:
⁴¹Ca has an atomic number equal to 20, it means that it has 20 protons and 20 electrons ad its neutral state. In the decay by electron capture, it will lose one electron and will become a cation, but the mass (41) and the atomic number will remain the same.
When Ca⁺ undergoes alpha decay, it will lose an alpha particle, which has mass 4 and 2 protons.
⁴¹₂₀Ca⁺ → ³⁷₁₈X⁺ + ⁴₂α
To be stable, X will lose a proton and will become ³⁷₁₇X. The element which has atomic number 17 is chlorine, Cl.
The force that holds protons and neutrons together is too strong to overcome.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Consider the location of the particles in an atom.
- Electrons are found outside the nucleus.
- Protons and neutrons are found within the nucleus.
Protons carry positive charges and repel each other. The nucleus will break apart without the strong force that holds the protons and neutrons together. This force is much stronger than the attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. X-rays are energetic enough for removing electrons from an atom. However, you'll need a collider to remove protons from a stable nucleus. You could well have ionized the atom with all that energy.
Also, changing the number of protons per nucleus will convert the halogen atom to an atom of a different element. Rather than making the halogen negative, removing a proton will convert the halogen atom to the negative ion of a different element.
Given that there is 48 liters of gasoline to be burned and that 45 kJ of energy is released per gram of gasoline burned, the amount of energy that the gasoline fuel produces can then be calculated, First, we convert 48 liters of gasoline to units of mass (grams) in order to use the given conversion of 45 kJ per gram of gasoline. To do this, we use the density of gasoline which is 0.77 g/mL. The following expression is then used:
48 L gasoline x 1000 mL/L x 0.77 g/mL x 45 kJ/g gasoline = 1663200 kJ
<span>The amount of energy produced by burning 48 L of gasoline was then determined to be 1663200 kJ. </span>
Answer: option C. 2 and 3.
Explanation:
1) Isotopes are atoms of a same element with different number of neutrons. That means that the isotopes of a same element have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what identify an element.
2) For example, all the atoms of oxygen have 8 protons. But isotope oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.
3) In the figure there are 3 different atoms:
i) atom # 1 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons
ii) atom # 2 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons
iii) atom # 3 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.
4) Hence the atoms with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons are the #2 and the # 3. So, they are the isotopes of the same element.
