Chapter 37: Q. 22 (page 1082)

Write the symbol for an atom or ion with:

a. five electrons, five protons, and six neutrons.

b. five electrons, six protons, and eight neutrons.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The atom11B.

b. The ion is14C+.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) step 1: Given information

We need to find the the symbol for an atom or ion with five electrons, five protons, and six neutrons.

02

Part (a) step 2: Explanation

As there are 5protons the element is Boron (B) so the symbol is11B.

03

Part (b) step 1: Given information 

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

04

Part (b) step 2: Explanation

The element is carbon (C) and since it has 1electron which is less than proton it is an ion. So the symbol is14C+.

Explain why the observation of alpha particles scattered at very large angles led Rutherford to reject Thomson’s model of the atom and to propose a nuclear model.

Event A occurs at space-time coordinates (300m, 2μs). a. Event B occurs at space-time coordinates(1200m, 6μs). Could A possibly be the cause of B? Explain. b. Event C occurs at space-time coordinates(2400 m, 8μs). Could A possibly be the cause of C? Explain

a. Describe the experimental evidence by which we know that the nucleus is made up not just of protons.

b. The neutron is not easy to isolate or control because it has no charge that would allow scientists to manipulate it. What evidence allowed scientists to determine that the mass of the neutron is almost the same as the mass of a proton?

An oil droplet with 15 excess electrons is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced 12mmapart. The droplet hangs motionless if the upper electrode is 25Vmore positive than the lower electrode. The density of the oil is localid="1649754409992" 860kg/m3. What is the radius of the droplet?

Electrons pass through the parallel electrodes shown in FIGURE EX37.9with a speed of 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
