How does Neutron emission from a nucleus affect an element?

Neutron emission from a nucleus can change the atomic mass of an element without affecting its atomic number. This can result in the formation of a different isotope of the element. Neutron emission can also make the nucleus more stable by reducing the neutron-to-proton ratio.


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 type of clocks did people make when there was no electricity or wires?

Before electricity, people made mechanical clocks that were powered by weights or springs. These clocks used gears, escapements, and pendulums to keep time accurately. Sundials and water clocks were other types of timekeeping devices used before the invention of electricity.


What is the element that has 20 neutrons?

Several can. Perhaps you meant to ask which has 20 protons, in which case the answer is calcium. (Calcium is also one of the elements that can have 20 neutrons, but it's not the only one.)


Do clocks absorb sound?

No they most definitely do not absorb sound

What is the maximum number of covalent bonds an element with atomic number 7 can make with an element with atomic number of 16?

An element with atomic number 7 (nitrogen) can make a maximum of 3 covalent bonds, while an element with atomic number 16 (sulfur) can make a maximum of 2 covalent bonds. Therefore, when they combine, they can form a total of 5 covalent bonds between them.

What is the most accurate time keeper?

AnswerAll digital clocks are perfectly accurate! A strontium atomic clock developed by scientists at the University of Colorado is supposedly more than twice as accurate as the cesium atomic clock (the old "most accurate") was.Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks that are available to the general public. To date, the most accurate clock made is the so-called quantum logic clock, which is accurate to about one second in 3.7 billion years.


How accurate is The Clock?

Electric clocks that plug in the wall (not battery operated) are probably the most accurate timepieces you can buy. These clocks count the cycles of alternating current. This make it a digital like clock and the electric company adds or subtracts cycles every so often to make it exactly accurate.

What is the name of the element with lowest atomic weight?

Hydrogen. It has one proton and one neutron--you can't make an atom lighter than that.
