An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom How does it differ from the element atom?
An isotope shares the atomic number with its element atom. How does it differ from the element atom?
How many neutrons are in a atom of magnesium?
A magnesium atom typically has 12 neutrons. Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, indicating it has 12 protons which is equal to its number of electrons in a neutral atom. The number of neutrons can be calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass of magnesium, which is approximately 24.305 amu.
What is the valency of an atom of a mass number 25?
The only non-radioactive isotope with a mass number of 25 is magnesium-25. The valency of magnesium is 2.
How many neutrons are in a normal number of led?
Lead has 125 Neutrons in each normal atom that is not an isotope.
Is an atom with 12 protons 12 neutrons and 12 electrons an isotope?
No, an atom with 12 protons, 12 neutrons, and 12 electrons is not an isotope. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons. Since this atom has the same number of protons, neutrons, and electrons, it is a stable and neutral atom of magnesium.
How is nuclear change differ from normal chemical change?
Nuclear change usually (but not always) changes the element of an atom itself; at the very least, it changes the isotope of the atom, altering its radiological properties (such as its half life). A chemical change means a change to a molecule in which the atom is bound.
How many electrons are in Magnesium-25?
Magnesium has an atomic number of 12, so there are 12 protons in any atom of this element. The number of protons do not change if it is an isotope of an element.
What is a slightly altered atom called?
An atom with a different number of neutrons is called an isotope. Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but differ in the number of neutrons, leading to variations in atomic mass.
How many protons does the magnesium cation have?
The periodic table states that the atomic number of magnesium is 12. A magnesium atom would thus have 12 protons in its nucleus; any atom that has 12 protons must be a magnesium atom. Atomic number = number of protons
What element has 12 electrons and 12 protons and 14 neutrons?
This would be magnesium, based on the number of protons. Since the protons is equal to the number of electrons it is a neutral atom. Given the number of protons in the atom, the isotope would be magnesium-26.
The most stable isotope of an atom with 12 protons probably has neutrons?
Mass of protons + Mass of neutrons + mass or electrons - Binding energy of the atom. Do not forget to subtract the binding energy. If you teacher never mentioned this, then he/she is wrong. You always have to subtract the binding energy to find the real mass.
If the 6 proton and 6 neutron of carbon mixed into 12 proton and 12 neutron of magnesium then what the result?
If the atoms fused to produce an atom with 18 protons and 18 neutrons you could get an isotope of Argon. Incidentally the Argon isotope with 18 protons and 18 neutrons happens to be a stable isotope, although not the most common one. You would only get fusion under extreme conditions of course - such as during the detonation of a fusion bomb/warhead (and even then I'm not sure you could get the carbon and magnesium to fuse) or in a star (far more likely) or nova or supernova. If you simply mixed carbon and magnesium and got them to react you could get Magnesium Carbide (Mg2C).
