Determine the charge and made of nuclei in amu made up of the following:

6 protons and 6 neutrons

20 protons and 25 neutrons

Expert Solution
Step 1

1) The nuclei is having 6 protons and 6 neutrons

Since the charge of proton is +1 and charge on neutron is 0.

Hence the charge of nuclei = charge of proton X number of proton + charge of neutron X  number of neutron 

=> the charge of nuclei = 1 X 6 + 0 X 6 = +6

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu and mass of proton = 1.00727647 

Hence mass of nuclei in amu = mass of neutron X number of neutron + mass of proton X number of proton

=> mass of nuclei in amu = 1.008665 X 6 + 1.00727647 X 6 = 12.09565 amu approx.
