An atom of potassium has a mass number of 3939 and contains 2020 neutrons in its nucleus. When this atom forms a stable potassium ion (K+K^+) by losing one electron, what is the total number of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, and electrons) present in the ion?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 5757

Cevap

The potassium ion contains a total of 5757 subatomic particles.
The correct answer is 5757. The number of protons is found by subtracting the neutron count from the mass number (39−20=1939 - 20 = 19). Because the potassium ion carries a +1+1 charge (K+K^+), it has lost one electron, leaving 1818 electrons. Adding all subatomic constituents gives 19 protons+20 neutrons+18 electrons=57 total particles19\text{ protons} + 20\text{ neutrons} + 18\text{ electrons} = 57\text{ total particles}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the number of protons in the potassium atom.
Protons = 39−20=1939 - 20 = 19
The mass number (AA) is the sum of protons (ZZ) and neutrons (NN), so Z=A−NZ = A - N.
2
Determine the number of electrons in the K+K^+ ion.
Electrons = 19−1=1819 - 1 = 18
A neutral potassium atom has 1919 electrons; forming a +1+1 cation requires losing 11 electron.
3
Sum the total number of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Total particles = 19+20+18=5719 + 20 + 18 = 57
The question requests the combined count of all subatomic particles in the ion.

Cevap: 44

Cevap

44
An element in Group 2 and Period 4 of the periodic table is calcium (Ca\text{Ca}), which has an atomic number of 2020. This means every calcium atom contains 2020 protons in its nucleus. The mass number of an isotope is the total number of protons and neutrons combined: 20 protons+24 neutrons=4420\text{ protons} + 24\text{ neutrons} = 44.

Atomic number is 2020 (contains 2020 protons).
The alkaline earth metal (Group 2) in Period 4 is calcium (Ca\text{Ca}), which has an atomic number of 2020.
2
Calculate the mass number by summing the number of protons and neutrons.
Mass number=20+24=44\text{Mass number} = 20 + 24 = 44.

A neutral atom has 22 electrons in its first energy level, 88 electrons in its second energy level, and 66 valence electrons in its third energy level. If the mass number of this atom is 3434, what is the total number of neutrons located in its nucleus?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1818

Cevap

1818 neutrons
In a neutral atom, the total number of electrons equals the number of protons (atomic number, ZZ). Summing the electrons across all three energy levels (2+8+62 + 8 + 6) yields 1616 electrons, which means the nucleus contains 1616 protons. Because mass number (AA) is the sum of protons and neutrons (A=Z+NA = Z + N), the number of neutrons is found by subtracting the protons from the mass number: 34−16=1834 - 16 = 18.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total number of electrons in the neutral atom by summing all energy levels.
2+8+6=162 + 8 + 6 = 16 electrons
The total electron count is the sum of electrons distributed across the inner shells and the valence shell.
2
Determine the atomic number (number of protons) from the electron count.
Atomic number (ZZ) = 1616 protons
In any neutral atom, the number of positively charged protons equals the number of negatively charged electrons.
3
Calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
Number of neutrons = 34−16=1834 - 16 = 18
Mass number (AA) equals protons (ZZ) plus neutrons (NN), so N=A−ZN = A - Z.

Cevap

Alkali Metals pair with the single valence electron (ns1ns^1) forming +1+1 cations; Alkaline Earth Metals pair with two valence electrons (ns2ns^2) forming +2+2 cations; Halogens pair with seven valence electrons (ns2np5ns^2 np^5) forming −1-1 anions; Noble Gases pair with the filled valence octet (ns2np6ns^2 np^6) displaying high ionization energy and chemical inertness.
Each periodic family possesses a distinct valence electron configuration that dictates its chemical reactivity and ionic charges. Group 1 alkali metals possess one outer ss electron which they lose to form +1+1 cations. Group 2 alkaline earth metals possess two outer ss electrons and form +2+2 cations. Group 17 halogens possess seven valence electrons and gain one electron to form −1-1 anions. Group 18 noble gases have full outer electron shells, rendering them inert with exceptionally high ionization energies.

Halogens seek to achieve a noble gas configuration by gaining one electron.
4
Analyze the valence configuration and chemical properties of Group 18 (Noble Gases).
Group 18 elements possess complete valence shells (ns2np6ns^2 np^6), making them chemically unreactive with very high ionization energies.
Filled valence shells confer maximal stability and chemical inertness.

An isotope of titanium has a mass number of 4848 and contains 2626 neutrons in its nucleus. How many electrons surround the nucleus of a neutral atom of this isotope?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 2222

Cevap

A neutral atom of this titanium isotope has 2222 electrons.
The mass number (A=48A = 48) is the total count of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Subtracting the 2626 neutrons from the mass number gives 2222 protons (48−26=2248 - 26 = 22). In a neutral atom, the number of electrons equals the number of protons, meaning there are 2222 electrons orbiting the nucleus.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the number of protons in the nucleus using the mass number and neutron count
Number of protons =48−26=22= 48 - 26 = 22
The mass number (AA) equals the sum of protons (ZZ) and neutrons (NN), so Z=A−NZ = A - N.
2
Determine the number of electrons in the electrically neutral atom
Number of electrons =22= 22
In any neutral atom, the number of negatively charged electrons equals the number of positively charged protons.

Cevap

Atomic number pairs with the proton quantity determining elemental identity; Mass number pairs with the sum of protons and neutrons; Isotopes pair with atoms having identical protons but different neutrons; Valence electrons pair with outermost electrons governing chemical reactivity.
Each term accurately describes a foundational property of atomic architecture: the atomic number corresponds strictly to proton count, mass number equals protons plus neutrons, isotopes are variants differing in neutron count, and valence electrons occupy the outermost shell to drive chemical behavior.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the definition of atomic number
Matched with the number of protons that defines the element (ZZ)
Every neutral or ionized atom of an element always contains the same characteristic number of protons.
2
Identify the definition of mass number
Matched with the sum of nuclear particles (protons + neutrons)
Electrons have negligible mass compared to nucleons, so atomic mass number is the total count of protons and neutrons.
3
Identify the definition of isotopes
Matched with atoms of the same element containing differing neutron quantities
Because atomic number remains constant for a given element, variations in atomic mass within an element arise solely from neutron count.
4
Identify the definition of valence electrons
Matched with the outermost electrons governing bonding behavior
The electron configuration in the highest energy level dictates how an atom interacts and shares or transfers electrons during reactions.
