If an atom has 16 electrons how many are in the third level?
16 ... if it's not ionized. A neutral atom would have 16 electrons, one negative charged electron for each positive charged proton. Now an atom does not have to be neutral, it can have more or less electrons, which is called an ion. 16 Protons would make this a Sulfur atom, which is going to try to aquire 2 more electrons to have a complete orbital shell.
What two substances does wood contain?
Wood contains Cellulose (40-50%), hemixenluloza(15-25%) and lignin(15-30%) mainly.
What is molecular arrangement?
atoms consist of protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are clumped together in the centre. This is called the nucleus. The electrons "orbit" the nucleus. We say there are different "electron shells", the first layer has 2 electrons, second has 8 and depending on how many electrons an atom has determines what element it is.
At what frequency does the pitch become ultrasound?
This is no exactly fixed point. We say, is must be higher than the upper hearing limit. And that is around 20 kHz.
What happens to an atomic nucleus when a positron is produced?
There are a handful of elements that undergo positron decay. Positron decay, called positron emission or beta decay (beta plus decay) happens in carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15, fluorine-18, potassium-40 and iodine-121. Let's look at what's happening. In the nucleus of these isotopes, the weak force mediates the conversion of a proton into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino, and also a photon or gamma ray. In the case of carbon-11, its decay scheme will look like this: 11C → 11B + e+ + νe + 0.45 MeV The carbon-11 atom is converted into a boron-11 atom, a positron (e+), a nuetrino (ve) and the 0.45 MeV gamma ray. (The MeV is a million electron-volts.) The new element, that new atom of boron, recoils a bit from the event, and the positron and the neutrino come out at high speed (at a high kinetic energy). The gamma ray will be moving at the speed of light (for the medium through which it is passing). You'll note that since a proton in the nucleus was converted into a neutron, the atomic number changes. It goes down one. A new element forms, as was seen in this illustration. Oh, and let's not forget that since the number of protons in the nucleus went down by one, one of the electrons in the electron cloud will no longer be "held" there. It will be released and will wander off. Links can be found below for more information.
If an atom contains 15 protons it must contain?
Any atom should have equal number of protons and electrons. If the atom contains 15 protons then it must contain 15 electrons.
What compound contains 15 protons?
Nitrogen (II) oxide, or NO contains one nitrogen atom (Z=7) and one oxygen atom (Z=8), for a total of 15 protons.
How many protons are in an atom of phosphorous?
All phosphorus atoms have 15 protons (hence their atomic number of fifteen). Assuming the atom is neutral, it will also have an equal amount of electrons.
If the atomic mass of an atom is 38 and the atom contains 15 protons how many neutrons does the atom contain?
Protons and neutrons each have an atomic mass of 1 So, 38-15=23 Neutrons
If an atom contains 15 electrons it will also have 15?
Protons, because electrons are equal to the atomic number and protons are equal to the number of electrons.
How many protons in P?
P is a p block non metal. Atom contains 15 protons.
Which Adam contain exactly 15 protons?
Phosphorus contains 15 protons.Its atomic number is also 15.
This element has 15 protons and 15 electrons in its neutral atom?
Protons are particles with a positive charge, and in order for your atom to be neutral the positive charge must be cancelled out by adding negative charges of the same value. Electrons are negatively charged. So adding 15 electrons to 15 protons would result in a neutral atom. Also since your atom contains 15 protons it must be Phosphorus, element number 15.
What is the identity of an atom with 15 protons?
An atom with 15 protons is an atom of phosphorus (P).
An atom that contains 15 protons and 10 neutrons within its nucleus will have an atomic mass of?
The mass number of an atom is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in its nucleus. So an atom with 15 protons and 10 neutrons would have a mass number of 15 + 10 = 25.
How many protons neutrons and electrons make up an atom of nitrogen's 15?
Nitrogen 15 contains: 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons "15" is added to the name because it is an isotope and contains inequal amounts of protons and neutrons (in this case, an extra neutron).
How many protons neutrons and electrons make up and Atom of nitrogen -15?
Nitrogen 15 contains: 7 protons 8 neutrons 7 electrons "15" is added to the name because it is an isotope and contains inequal amounts of protons and neutrons (in this case, an extra neutron).
