In small atoms, the number of neutrons and protons in the nucleus tend to be equal....
The nucleus of an atom consists of protons and neutrons (no electrons). A nucleus of a carbon-12 isotope contains six protons and six neutrons, while a nitrogen-14 nucleus comprises seven protons and seven neutrons. You perform a nuclear physics experiment in which you bombard nitrogen-14 nuclei with very high speed carbon-12 nuclei emerging from a particle accelerator. As a result of each such collision, the two nuclei disintegrate completely and a mix of different particles are emitted, including electrons, protons,...

The nucleus can become unstable when it contains more protons than neutrons because: 1. exchange forces compete with Coulombic forces 2. exchange forces cause neutrons to repel each other 3. exchange forces cause protons to repel each other 4. exchange forces have a shorter range than coulombic forces
Consider a simplified model of a triply ionized beryllium-9 atom (Be^1+): four protons plus five neutrons in the atom's nucleus, "orbited" by just one electron at a constant distance of 4.50 times 10^-12 m. You can solve (a) & (b) in either order. Label your work clearly: a. What is the strength (magnitude) of the attractive electric force between the nucleus and the electron? Show your work. b. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the electron's location?...
The size of the nucleus is about 10-14 m in diameter. If you wanted to add another proton to a Uranium nucleus (92 protons and 146 neutrons), how strong is the repulsive force at the "edge" of the nucleus?
The energy states of atoms containing more than one electron arise from nucleus-electron and electron- electron interactions. Which of the following statements correctly describes these effects? O Larger nuclear charge lowers energy; more electrons in an orbital lowers energy. O Larger nuclear charge lowers energy; more electrons in an orbital increases energy. O Smaller nuclear charge lowers energy; more electrons in an orbital lowers energy, O Smaller nuclear charge lowers energy; more electrons in an orbital increases energy. O None...
The illustration shows one possible way that a nucleus of uranium-235 (235U) can undergo neutron-induced fission. (a) Rank the following objects in order of their binding energy per nucleon, from largest to smallest. If any two objects have the same binding energy per nucleon, state this. Explain how you made your ranking. (i) The uranium-235 (235U) nucleus (ii) The tellurium-134 (134Te) nucleus (iii) The zirconium-99 (99Zr) nucleus (iv) The three neutrons Activity 27-4 [continued]. (b) Using your results from part...
Atoms and Isotopes 1 Activity: Atoms and Isotopes Why? Atoms and isotopes are identified by the numbers of protons, electrons, and neutrons that they contain The number of protons, electrons, and neutrons in atoms determines the chemical properties of the elements .A knowledge of the number of protons and electrons in an atom will help you understand how atoms combine to form molecules Identify the composition of atoms in terms of protons, neutrons, and electrons Use atomic symbols to represent...
Activity 27-4. Nuclear fission (Accompanies Section 27-4] 1 A uranium nucleus (235U) absorbs a neutron. The result is a uranium nucleus (236U) in an excited state. 3 The excited uranium nucleus fissions into two smaller, more tightly bound nuclei... ...as well as a few neutrons.
