Estimate the percentage of the total mass of a atom that is due to (a) electrons, (b) protons, and (c) neutrons by assuming that the mass of the atom is simply the sum of the masses of the appropriate numbers of subatomic particles. The mass of an electron is 0.00054858 amu, the mass of a proton is 1.0073 amu, and the mass of a neutron is 1.0087 amu.
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…
(b) A certain element has two naturally occurring isotopes.
The mass of one of the isotopes is 106.905 amu and its natural abundance is 51.60%.
The mass of the second isotope is 108.883 amu.
Calculate the average atomic mass
Write the chemical symbols of the isotopes

- In 1886 Eugene Goldstein observed positively charged particles moving in the opposite direction to electrons in a cathode ray tube (illustrated below). From their mass, he concluded that these particles were formed from residual gas in the tube. For example, if the cathode ray tube contained helium, the canal rays consisted of He+ ions. Describe a process that could lead to these ions. Canal rays. In 1886, Eugene Goldstein detected a stream of particles traveling in the direction opposite to that of the negatively charged cathode rays (electrons). He called this stream of positive particles "canal rays:"arrow_forwardThe age of the universe is unknown, but some conclude from measuring Hubbles constant that the age is about 18 billion years old, which is about four times the age of Earth.
