Concept explainers
Interpretation: The density of the nucleus in the atom to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Density: the density of the substance is calculated using the formula:
Atoms: Atoms consist of tiny particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. Proton and neutrons are present in the nucleus and the electron resides around the nucleus. The protons number will be same as the electrons count in the atom.
Nuclear stability: The nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons. The strongest nuclear force binds the particles tightly. Though the protons repel each other due to no attraction between similar charges, possess short-range attractions made the attraction possible between proton and proton, proton and neutron, neutron and neutron.

- James Bond claims he has stolen spectre’s nuclear material. It’s a black sphere with a volume of 945 cm3 and a mass of 14.3 kg. Is it the weapons-grade uranium he was hoping for?arrow_forwardDirections: Identify the isotope being described. 1. used to determine damage in heart tissue and detection of tumors.arrow_forwardConsider the element Ag (p=47, n=61) with a nuclear mass of 1.79124 x 10-22 g. (Given: mass of proton = 1.67262 x 10-24 g; mass of neutron = 1.67493 x 10-24 g) A. Calculate the total mass in grams if protons and neutrons combined to form the Ag nucleus. Total mass = x 10^ g (Express you answer in 6 sig fig, do not include the unit.) B. Calculate the mass defect in grams per mole of Ag nucleus. Mass defect = g (Express you answer in 4 sig fig, do not include the unit.) C. Calculate the binding energy in joule per mole of Ag nucleus. Binding energy =arrow_forward
