I would like to suggest the number 3.6007006 x 1051
This is the mass of Earth divided by the mass per nucleon of Nickel-62. I have chosen Ni-62, because it has the highest binding energy per nucleon, and therefore the element at rest with respect to the Earth's potential.
Comments: That's not a bad answer, but there are surely too many significant figures for an approximate answer. I'm not convinced by the argument for using nickel-62. Also, electrons do weigh something.
What else can I help you with?
Does the total number of nucleons in the nucleus of the atom ever increase during the decay chain?
No, the total number of nucleons in the nucleus remains constant during a decay chain. The total number of protons and neutrons may change as individual particles are emitted during decay, but the overall number of nucleons (protons and neutrons combined) remains the same within a closed system.
How can you tell how many nucleons are in an element?
total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
What happens to the total number of nucleons during beta decay?
The total number of nucleons remains the same during beta decay. A neutron is converted into a proton and an electron (beta particle), so the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) stays constant.
How many nucleons are there in radium?
Radium has an atomic number of 88, meaning it has 88 protons. The most common isotope of radium is radium-226, which has a mass number of 226. This mass number represents the total number of nucleons (protons and neutrons) in the nucleus, so radium-226 has 226 nucleons.
Protons and neutrons together are known as?
no there are different elements, and you can check a periodic table for more information.
Does the total number of nucleons stay the same during beta decay?
Yes, the total number of nucleons remains the same during beta decay. In this process, a neutron is transformed into a proton (or vice versa), resulting in the emission of a beta particle (an electron or positron) and an antineutrino (or neutrino). While the composition of the nucleus changes, the total count of protons and neutrons, or nucleons, does not change.
How many nucleons are there in a electrically neutral isotope if the atomic number is 56 and the atomic mass is 130?
In an electrically neutral isotope, the number of protons equals the atomic number, which is 56 in this case. The atomic mass of 130 represents the total number of nucleons, which includes both protons and neutrons. Therefore, the number of nucleons in this isotope is 130.
The nuclei of all atoms have?
protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, at their core. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the element's identity, while the total number of nucleons determines the atom's mass number. Electrons orbit the nucleus in distinct energy levels.
How many neutron does sodium 12 have?
Sodium-12 (Na-12) has 12 nucleons in total, which includes both protons and neutrons. Sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it has 11 protons. Therefore, the number of neutrons in sodium-12 is calculated as 12 (total nucleons) - 11 (protons) = 1 neutron.
How large is the Earth's core in comparison to the rest of the planet?
The Earth's core makes up about 15 of the planet's total volume.
What total number is the mass number of an atom obtained by?
Add the Neutrons and Protons. The electrons are irrelevant in the mass number.
What do you find when you subtract the proton number from the nucleon number?
In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is one of the two particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are one of the nucleons, Neutrons are the other nucleon.Thus by subtracting the number of Protons in the nucleus (the Proton number) from the total number of nucleons (the nucleon number) you will get the total number of Neutrons (the neutron number) in the atoms nucleus.
