How do two isotopes differ from one another?
Isotopes of the same element differ in the number of neutrons. Isotopes of different elements differ in the number of protons and neutrons. For instance, carbon-12, a stable form of carbon, has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. Carbon-14, a radioactive form of carbon that occurs in nature, has 6 protons and 8 neutrons. Nitrogen-16, on the other hand, also radioactive and occurring in the primary coolant of nuclear power plants, has 7 protons and 9 neutrons.
What element is in hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizer is manufactures with an element called alcohol.
How can you tell how many neutrons are in an element?
The number of neutrons in an element is determined by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass number rounded to the nearest whole number. On the other hand, very few atoms are abnormal and have a different amount of neutrons than other atoms of the same element. These are called isotopes and are indicated by a number following the element symbol (eg. C-14). This is a radioactive isotope of carbon that has six protons based on the atomic number and two more neutrons than normal--8. (8+6=14). Finally, the reason that the atomic mass units end in decimals is that this is just an average weight. The isotopes can either bring this number up or down. atomic number [ 6 ] symbol [ C ] mass (atomic mass units (amu)) [ 12.01 ]
What happenes when you combine a left hand element and a right hand element?
Presuming that you mean from the left and right of the periodic table, you are likely to get an ionic compound as the left hand (metal) element loses electrons and the right hand (non metal) element gains them.
How many protons and electrons and neutrons does berkelium have?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of berkelium is 97.Number of neutrons = Atomic mass of an isotope - atomic number of the element The atomic number of berkelium is 97.
What is the short hand of a atom with 15 protons and 17 neutrons?
15P32
What is the identity of element of multiplication?
There is no such thing as an "identity of element". The identity element of multiplication, on the other hand, is the number 1.
Where can you find the mass number of an element on the periodic table?
The mass number or atomic mass number of an element is simply the number protons and neutrons in the atom's nucleus. Recall that the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom determines its elemental identity. Recall, also, that the number of neutrons in the nucleus of a given atom of an element can vary giving rise to different isotopes of that element. Hydrogen, the simplest of the elements, has a nucleus of one proton. But some atoms of hydrogen have a proton and a neutron in the nucleus. And there is an even rarer occurance of hydrogen with its proton and two neutrons in the nucleus. The mass numbers for these three isotopes of hydrogen are 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Helium has a nucleus that has two protons in it. Almost all the helium has an atomic mass number of 4, meaning that there are two protons and two neutrons in the nucleus. But there is a tiny percentage of helium that has only one neutron in the nucleus, and has mass number 3. A link to the Wikipedia article entitled Mass Number is provided.
What will happen if you get liquid nitrogen on skin?
If you drank liquid nitrogen, your tongue, mouth, throat, face, and digestive track, and possibly also your hand, would be severely frostbitten. This is more than likely result in a horrifically painful death.
How does nitrogen make explosives?
Nitrogen doesn't so much. Nitrates and nitrites, on the other hand, serve as sources of oxygen for rapid oxidation.
What happens when you add liquid nitrogen to lava?
The liquid nitrogen has enough coldness to completely cool down lava, but also it has the exact same energy to make lava explode. Think of it as pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand, but if you don't put the right amount of heat (helium) and at the right time your your hand will fall off. Think of your hand falling off as explosion.
Why don't the protons and neutrons touch?
Protons and neutrons don't attract electromagnetically. Because protons have a positive charge while on the other hand electron has negative charge.
