<u>Answer:</u> It determines the mass number of the atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nucleons are the subatomic particles that are present in nucleus of an atom. The particles which are present in the nucleus of an atom are protons and neutrons.

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons. It is represented as A.

A = Number of neutrons + Number of protons

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons that are present in an atom. It is represented as Z.

Z = Number of protons = Number of electrons

From the above information, we conclude that the number of nucleons determines the mass number of an atom.

The number of neutrons in an atom is the number of particles present in its nucleus.
The atomic number is the number of protons whereas the mass number is the number of protons and number of neutrons together
This implies that the number of neutrons is the atom's mass number

andrew11 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Iodine have lower atomic mass than tellurium even though the atomic number of iodine is more than the atomic number of tellurium

This is because the atomic weight of any element is the sum of number of proton and number of neutron, even though the number of proton in iodine is more so but the number of neutron is less as compared to tellurium which makes the tellurium of high atomic mass

How many grams o an ointment base must be added to 45 g o clobetasol (T EMOVAT E) ointment, 0.05% w/w, to change its strength to
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Drug calculation

If we have 45g of clobetasol  = 0.05%w/w

Then what mass in g of clobetasol is in 0.03%w/w = 45 x 0.03/0.05 =27g

It means that 27g of clobetasol must be added to change the drug strength to 0.03% w/w

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom. In her report, she says that the atom has three main parts and two s
andre [41]
No, because an atom consists of two main parts and three subatomic
particles, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Each one is smaller than an atom, therefore they are subatomic particles. An atom only requires protons and electrons to be an atom - e.g. Hydrogen has 1 proton and 1 electron. Neutrons do not effect the overall charge of the atom, and only increase the atomic mass.

Write the balanced Ka and Kb reactions for HSO3- in water. Be sure to include the physical states of each species involved in th
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]

Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]

Explanation:

An amphoteric substance as HSO₃⁻ is a substance that act as either an acid or a base. When acid:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₃O⁺(aq) + SO₃²⁻(aq)

And Ka, the acid dissociation constant is:

<h3>Ka = [H₃O⁺] [SO₃²⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3><h3 />

When base:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ OH⁻(aq) + H₂SO₃(aq)

And kb, base dissociation constant is:

<h3>Kb = [OH⁻] [H₂SO₃] / [HSO₃⁻]</h3>

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water
Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).
