Chapter 37: Q. 21 (page 1082)

Write the symbol for an atom or ion with:

a. one electron, one proton, and two neutrons.

b. seven electrons, eight protons, and ten neutrons.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The atom is3H.

b. The ion is18O+.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given information

We need to find the symbol for an atom or ion with one electron, one proton, and two neutrons.

02

Part (a) step 2: Explanation

The element is Hydrogen and the symbol is3H.

03

Part (b) step 1: Given information

We need to find the symbol for an atom or ion with seven electrons, eight protons, and ten neutrons.

04

Part (b) step 2: Explanation

As it has 8protons the element is Oxygen. and the electron is less than proton it is a positive ion. The symbol is 18O+.

Your friend flies from Los Angeles to New York. She carries an accurate stopwatch with her to measure the flight time. You and your assistants on the ground also measure the flight time.

a. Identify the two events associated with this measurement.

b. Who, if anyone, measures the proper time?

c. Who, if anyone, measures the shorter flight time?

Once Thomson showed that atoms consist of very light negative electrons and a much more massive positive charge, why didn’t physicists immediately consider a solar-system model of electrons orbiting a positive nucleus? Why would physicists in 1900object to such a model?

Firecrackers A and B are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side of firecracker A. You see two flashes of light, from the two explosions, at exactly the same instant of time. Define event 1 to be “firecracker A explodes” and event 2 to be “firecracker B explodes.” According to your lab partner, based on measurements he or she makes, does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.
