Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The number of protons, neutrons and electrons present in the atom of boron-11 has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of an atom. This gives the number of subatomic particle present inside the nucleus. Mass number is represented by the symbol A.
From atomic number and mass number, the number of each sub atomic particle can be found.
Complete chemical symbol notation can be given as.
An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken by ordinary

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forwardThe present average concentration (mass percent) of magnesium ions in seawater is 0.13%. A chemistry textbook estimates that if 1.00 × 108 tons Mg were taken out of the sea each year, it would take one million years for the Mg concentration to drop to 0.12%. Do sufficient calculations to either verify or refute this statement. Assume that Earth is a sphere with a diameter of 8000 mi, 67% of which is covered by oceans to a depth of 1 mi, and that no Mg is washed back into the oceans at any time.arrow_forward
- Consider the nuclide cobalt-59 (5927Co). (a) The mass of 5927Co in atomic mass units is 58.933200 u. (Note this is the mass of the entire atom, not just the nucleus.) This mass is lower than the total mass of its constituent protons, neutrons, and electrons. Find the difference, in atomic mass units, between the total mass of the constituent particles, and the actual mass of the nuclide. (This is sometimes called the "mass defect.") The mass of a proton is 1.007276 u, the mass of a neutron is 1.008665 u, and the mass of an electron is 5.486 ✕ 10−4 u. (Round your answer to at least four decimal places.) b) Since, according to special relativity theory, mass and energy are "equivalent," the mass defect, or "missing" mass found in part (a), is measurement of the energy it would take to break the bound 5927Co atom into its constituent particles. In other words, it is equivalent to the binding energy. Using the result of part (a), find the binding energy per nucleon, Eb/A for 5927Co in…arrow_forward(a) How many elements are found in period 4 in the periodic table?
