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- .

An alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus with q=+2e) acceler-ates across a 100V 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.

Thomson observed deflection of the cathode-ray particles due to magnetic and electric fields, but there was no observed deflection due to gravity. Why not?

An electron in a cathode-ray beam passes between 2.5cmlong parallel-plate electrodes that are 5.0mmapart. A

2.0mT, 2.5cmwide magnetic field is perpendicular to the electric field between the plates. The electron passes through the electrodes without being deflected if the potential difference between the plates is 600V.

a. What is the electron’s speed?

b. If the potential difference between the plates is set to zero, what is the electron’s radius of curvature in the magnetic field?

A 0.80-μmm-diameter oil droplet is observed between two parallel electrodes spaced 11mmapart. The droplet hangs motionless if the upper electrode is20Vmore positive than the lower electrode. The density of the oil is 885kg/m3.

a. What is the droplet’s mass?

b. What is the droplet’s charge?

c. Does the droplet have a surplus or a deficit of electrons? How many?
