Answer:
Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy
Explanation:
The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:
⇒
total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u
Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.
Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.
The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.
From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Because the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, we know what the number of protons has to be 26. The mass number, 55, is the same as the number of protons plus neutrons. Lastly, because there is no charge on this atom, the number of electrons would have to be the same as the number of protons, which is 26.
Hi there!
The <span>major accomplishment of the Apollo missions was to successfully land Americans on the Moon and to return them safely to Earth. One major reason for this was to establish a way for us to travel to other celestial bodies safely so we could research them and study how they work or to see if they are inhabitable.

Explanation:
(a) mass number = atomic number + number of neutrons
(the atomic number is the number of protons of an element)
mass number of A = 11 + 12 = 23
mass number of B = 17 + 18 = 35
(b) +1 and -1, respectively
(c) A+ + B- → AB (the first plus sign and the minus sign are superscripts)
Boiling points are a measure of intermolecular forces. The intermolecular forces increase with increasing polarization of bonds. Boiling point increases with molecular weight, and with surface area.
