Is nitrogen a neutron?
nitrogen is not magnetic
What is the neutron-proton ratio for nitrogen -14?
Nitrogen 14 has 7 neutrons and 7 protons so the ratio is 1:1
What is the number of protons neutron and electrons if nitrogen is 20?
Nitrogen always has 7 protons, otherwise it is not Nitrogen. Nitrogen 20 means that there are 20 protons. Unless it has an ionic bond, then there are also 7 electrons. If it is an ion, then there are 10 electrons.
What happens when the gravity of a massive star is ablle to overcome neutron degeneration?
When the gravity of a neutron star overcomes the degeneracy pressure of the neutrons, the neutron star collapses into a black hole.
What would happen if carbon-14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
It becomes Nitrogen-14
Is nitrogen a neutron?
nitrogen is not magnetic
How is carbon-14 produced?
Carbon-14 forms in the upper atmosphere, when a nitrogen atom is converted to an atom of carbon and atom of hydrogen by the addition of a neutron; 14N + 1n ---> 14C + 1H.
Name the element when uranium captures a fast neutron?
The element is determined by the number of protons. When uranium captures a fast neutron it is still uranium but has an increased atomic mass. Fast neutron capture may encourage a further reaction but it depends on which uranium isotope you start with as to the increase in probability some further reaction will occur and which reaction that might be.
What is the composition of atmosphere of the Crab Pulsar?
The crab pulsar is a neutron star, it does not have an atmosphere as far as we know.
What is the source of natural carbon-14?
Natural carbon-14 is formed in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays collide with nitrogen atoms, producing carbon-14 isotopes. This radioactive isotope then mixes with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and is taken up by living organisms through photosynthesis, becoming part of their tissue.
What happens when a neutron star runs out of fuel?
Neutron stars do not have fuel. A neutron star is a remnant of a star that has already died.
What is the neutron-proton ratio for nitrogen -14?
Nitrogen 14 has 7 neutrons and 7 protons so the ratio is 1:1
What does xenon 135 decay into?
Xenon-135 decay to caesium-135 by beta emission.
What is the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15?
N-15 has one neutron more in its nucleus, the mass number is one higher.
How does carbon 12 become carbon 14?
It doesn't. Under natural conditions, carbon 14 generally forms from nitrogen 14. A high energy neutron from space strikes the nitrogen nucleus, causing it to eject a proton, ultimately forming a carbon 14 atom and hydrogen 1 atom. It can also occur via neutron capture by carbon 13. Currently there is an overabundance of carbon 14 in the atmosphere as a result of nuclear testing.
What is number of neutron of N?
There are seven (7) neutrons in each atom of nitrogen (N).
What happens to a neutron star that gives it the name pulsar?
the name pulsar is given to a neutron star that rotates
