atoms are made of 3 types of sub atomic particles; neutrons, protons and electrons
atomic number is the number of protons which is characteristic for the element. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons.
mass number is the sum of the neutrons and protons.
Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different mass numbers. since they are the same element number of protons are the same but number of neutrons vary.
therefore 2 isotopes are of the same element so they have the same number of protons.
Six elemental gases are composed of such exceptionally stable atoms that they almost never react with other elements. They are the gases that make up Group 0 (the rightmost column) of the periodic table: helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and radon (Rn).
Answer: it’s a I believe
Explanation: protons are smaller then atoms which means they have less mass
1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.
You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.
2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.
This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:
=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 * atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.
3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x
=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278
=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x
=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546
=> 1.9982x = 1.3818
=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%
=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%
Answer:
Cu-63 69.15%;
Cu-65 : 30.85%
Gee. I'll have to guess at what's "commonly thought".
One thing is the scale. Nobody has an accurate picture of the scale in
his head, because we never see a true-scale drawing. THAT's because
it's almost impossible to draw one on paper.
Example:
Shrink the solar system and everything in it so that the Sun
is the size of a quarter (the 25¢ coin).
Then:
-- The Earth is in orbit around the sun, 8.6 feet from it.
That's close enough that you might think you could find the
shrunken Earth. Unfortunately, it's only 0.009 inch in diameter.
-- The shrunken Jupiter is a 'huge' gas giant almost 0.1 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 45 feet away from it.
-- The shrunken Uranus is another gas giant, about 0.035 inch in diameter.
It's orbiting the sun, about 165 feet away from it.
-- The nearest star outside of the solar system is 441 MILES away !
On the same shrunken scale !
And there's NOTHING between here and there !
I think that's the biggest point to make about the REAL solar system ...
its utter emptiness. With the sun reduced to something you can hold
in your hand, the planets are the size of grains of sand, with hundreds
of feet of nothingness between them.
Same for its mass: The solar system is approximately nothing but a star.
That's it. A star, with some dust and some gas around it, and here and there
in the neighborhood a microscopic pebble or a chip of mineral. But mostly
it's nothing but a star ... if you went around and gathered up all that other
rubbish in the same bag and called it a part of the same solar system, the
sun would still have more than 99% of the total mass, and the bag would
hold less than 1% of it.
Book ... It's getting late, Hillary's fading, and that's all I can think of.
I hope this much is some help.
