The nuclei of atoms also contain neutrons, which help hold the nucleus together. ... The total weight of an atom is called the atomic weight. It is approximately equal to the number of protons and neutrons, with a little extra added by the electrons.
The mass of a given atom, measured on a scale in which the hydrogen atom has the weight of one. Because most of the mass in an atom is in the nucleus, and each proton and neutron has an atomic weight near one, the atomic weight is very nearly equal to the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
Explanation:
protons have a relative charge of +1, they are located in the nucleus and the carry a positive charge
the electrons are negatively charged and have a charge of -1 . They are found orbiting on the shells .the electrons have a negligible mass of 1 / 1840
the neutrons have no charge they are located in the nucleus of an atom .
Answer:
Na has the most similar configuration.
Explanation:
Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁
Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²
Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²
This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).
Answer: ³²P
Explanation:
The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.
Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.
