Chapter 37: Q. 19 (page 1082)

How many electrons, protons, and neutrons are contained in the following atoms or ions: (a) B10, (b) N+13, and (c) O17++?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The number of electrons is 5, number of protons is 5and number of neutrons is5

(b) The number of electrons are 6, number of protons are 7 and number of neutrons are 6.

(c) The number of electrons is role="math" localid="1649849818258" 5, number of protons 8are and number of neutrons are9.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1 : Given information 

We have given that B10.

We need to find that how many electrons, protons and neutrons are in.

02

Part (a) step 2: Simplify 

In B10,5protons , 5neutrons, and 5electrons are there.

03

Part (b) step 1: Given information

We have given thatN+13

We need to find how many electrons, protons and neutrons are in.

04

Part (b) step 2: Simplify 

In N13+,7 proton, 6neutron and 6electron are there.

05

Part (c) step 1: Given information 

We have given thatO17++

We need to find how many electrons, protons and neutrons are in.

06

Part (c) step 2: Simplify 

In O17++, localid="1649849900208" 8proton , localid="1649849918121" 9neutron and localid="1649849911936" 5electron are there.

A ceramic cube 3.0cmon each side radiates heat at 630W. At what wavelength, in μm, does its emission spectrum peak? Assume e=1.

Electrons pass through the parallel electrodes shown in FIGUREEX37.9with a speed of role="math" localid="1649760459253" 5.0×106m/s. What magnetic field strength and direction will allow the electrons to pass through without being deflected? Assume that the magnetic field is confined to the region between the electrodes.

An alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus withq=+2e) acceler-ates across a100V potential difference, starting from rest. What is the particle’s kinetic energy in eV when it reaches the negative electrode? This question requires no mathematics beyond what you can do in your head.

FIGURE Q36.6 shows a rocket traveling from left to right. At the instant it is halfway between two trees, lightning simultaneously (in the rocket’s frame) hits both trees.

a. Do the light flashes reach the rocket pilot simultaneously? If not, which reaches her first? Explain.

b. A student was sitting on the ground halfway between the trees as the rocket passed overhead. According to the student, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? If not, which tree was hit first? Explain.

Rutherford studied alpha particles using the crossed-field technique Thomson had invented to study cathode rays. Assuming that Valpha≈Vcathoderay (which turns out to be true), would the deflection of an alpha particle by a magnetic field be larger than, smaller than, or the same as the deflection of a cathode-ray particle by the same field? Explain.
