Chapter 37: Q.12 (page 1081)

Identify the element, the isotope, and the charge state of each

atom in given FIGURE Q37.12 . Give your answer in symbolic form, such

as 4He+or 8Be-.

Short Answer

Expert verified

From the given problem we can identify the element-

(a) 6Li+

(b) 13C-

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given a figure showing number of neutrons, protons and electrons of two atoms. We have to identify which atom is this.

02

Identifying the atom

In the first part,

We can see that the element has three protons, three neutrons and two electrons. Its atomic number must be 3. Therefore, it must be 6Li+ ion.

In the second part,

We can see that the element has six protons, seven neutrons and seven electrons. Its atomic number must be6. As, there is one extra electron present, the ion should be 13C- .

Rutherford studied alpha particles using the crossed-field technique Thomson had invented to study cathode rays. Assuming that valphaαvcathoderay(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.

Consider the gold isotope197Au.

a. How many electrons, protons, and neutrons are in a neutral197Auatom?

b. The gold nucleus has a diameter of 14.0fm. What is the density of matter in a gold nucleus?

c. The density of lead is11,400Kg/m3 . How many times the density of lead is your answer to part b?

A 100-m-long train is heading for an 80-m-long tunnel. If the train moves sufficiently fast, is it possible, according to Experimenters on the ground, for the entire train to be inside the tunnel at one instant of time? Explain.

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?

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.
