What is the mass number of silicon with 14 neutrons?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Silicon has 14 protons making its atomic number 14. With 14 neutrons added to 14 protons, the mass number of silicon with 14 neutrons would be 28.
If the chlorine nucleus had twenty neutrons would the charge in the nucleus be greater less or the same?
The neutron has no charge so changing the number of neutrons in the nucleus would not change the charge of the nucleus.
How would you describe the nucleus of sodium?
A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.
What is the purpose of neutrons?
If a nucleus contained no neutrons, there would only be protons all with a positive charge which would be very unstable. Neutrons help space out the positive charges and bind the nucleus together.
If an isotope of silicon has 15 neutrons what is its mass number?
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Since silicon has 14 protons, the isotope with 15 neutrons would have a mass number of 14 (protons) + 15 (neutrons) = 29.
If an isotope of silicon has 15 neutrons what is the mass number?
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of its protons and neutrons. Silicon has an atomic number of 14, meaning it has 14 protons. If the isotope has 15 neutrons, the mass number would be 14 protons + 15 neutrons, which equals 29. Therefore, the mass number of the silicon isotope is 29.
What would happen if binding energy of a nucleus was zero?
If the binding energy of a nucleus was zero, the nucleus would not be stable and would disintegrate. The nucleus relies on the binding energy to hold its protons and neutrons together. Without this binding energy, the nucleus would break apart into individual protons and neutrons.
Where are protons and neutrins located?
Protons and Neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. They are surrounded by a cloud of electrons. If our universe was an atom, the sun would be the nucleus (with protons and neutrons) and the orbiting planets would be the electrons.
If a silicon atom contains 16 neutrons what is its mass number?
The mass number of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons. In this case, if a silicon atom contains 14 protons (since it is a silicon atom) and 16 neutrons, the mass number would be 14 + 16 = 30.
What is inside the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom contains neutrons and protons. Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Because the nucleus is only made up of protons and neutrons, it is positively charged. Physicists believe that there is a cluster of Protons and Neutrons within an Atom's nucleus. Friend Premier is quite right. So instead saying inside the nucleus it would be apt to say that nucleus is made up of...
What is the center of the atom containing protons and neutrons?
That would be the nucleus.
What would happened to a stable nucleus in which the number of neutrons suddenly decreased?
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
