Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?
To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.
What else can I help you with?
What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity is the property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation.
Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?
No. Binding energy differs from element to element,
How many unstable nuclei exist in nature?
There are many unstable nuclei that exist in nature, but the exact number is difficult to determine due to the sheer variety of radioactive isotopes that can occur. These unstable nuclei can undergo radioactive decay to become more stable over time.
Some atoms such as carbon-14 whose nuclei are not stable lose parts of their nucleus through decay -In the process they become another element -Atoms such as this are said to be?
Atoms with nuclei that are not stable and lose parts through decay are said to be radioactive. This process results in the transformation of the atom into another element, along with the release of energy in the form of radiation.
An element is determined by what?
By the number of protons in the nucleus. So the atomic number decides the element. If it is 1, then that is Hydrogen element. 2 is for Helium, 3-Lithium, 4-Berilium, 5-Boron and so on. Gold element has 79 protons in its nucleus. Mercury has 80. So with a high sophisticated technology if we take only one proton from each mercury atom, then we can produce gold. So mercury has been changed into gold. So transition of element is only by physical means not by chemical means.
What are the properties of nuclei?
Nuclei are positively charged and contain protons and neutrons bound together by the strong nuclear force. They are very small in size compared to the overall size of an atom. Nuclei determine the element of an atom and contribute to its overall mass.
Which element has 14 protons in the nuclei of its atoms?
The element with 14 protons in the nuclei of its atoms is silicon, with the atomic number 14.
What is property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation?
Radioactivity is the property in which unstable nuclei of an element spontaneously emit radiation.
How can one determine the atomic size of an element?
The atomic size of an element can be determined by measuring the distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms of that element. This distance is known as the atomic radius and can be calculated using various experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography or spectroscopy.
What element has 81protons in the nuclei of its atoms?
An element's number of protons is the same as its atomic number.
Will the radioactive property remain in an ionic compound when a metal element is highly radioactive combined with a non-metal element which is non-radioactive?
A radioactive material is radioactive. Period. The atoms of radioactive material have unstable nuclei. If you combine them with other material, the radioactive material will remain unaffected as regards its radioactivity. Recall that radioactivity is related to the instability of atomic nuclei, and the atomic structure of atomic nuclei are (in general) not involved in chemical bonding. Chemical bonding doesn't affect the stability of the nuclei of atoms. If they are unstable, they will remain so whether the atoms are alone or chemically combined with something else.
The nuclei of all atoms of a given element always have the same number of what?
The nuclei of all atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons. This number is unique to each element and is known as the element's atomic number.
What characteristics of an element determins its place in the table?
mass and whether or not it's a metal. also how volatile it is
Which element's atoms have all six protons in their nuclei?
carbon
What does an element's atomic number stand for?
Atomic number is the number of protons in the atomic nuclei of the atoms of an element.
What informationdoes the atomic number of an element provide?
The atomic number of an element is the number of protons in the nuclei of its atoms, and is unique to each element.
Is the binding energy the same for all nuclei?
No. Binding energy differs from element to element,
