choose the correct answer.   13. Some of the alpha particles impinged on a metal foil can pass through the foil; this indicates that *       A. metals have low density       B. there is empty space in the atoms of matter       C. there is empty space in the nucleus       D. alpha particles are heavy 14. The shell model of the nucleus describes the nucleons in a nucleus to be *       A. packed tightly in a tiny space       B. located at the center of the nucleus       C. distributed in quantum states just like extranuclear electrons       D. wave-like 15. A radioactive source consists of 6.4 x 10^11 atoms of a nuclide of a half-life of 2 days. A second source consists of 8.0 x 10^10 atoms of another nuclide of half-life 3 days. After how many days will the number of radioactive atoms in the two sources are equal *       A. 6…
A new element has been created artificially. It is named Elementy McFacium. The most common isotope of McFacium has 153 protons and 277 neutrons. The mass of this isotope of the new element is 402,188.91 MeV/c^2. What is the total mass deficit for the nucleus?  Hint: The new element is not made as an ion! Use the mass of hydrogen atoms instead of protons.          (Answer in atomic mass units u)
