1. A one-electron atom has atomic number ?, mass number ? and a spherical nucleus of radius ? . Assume electric charge +?? is uniformly distributed throughout the volume of the nucleus. Ignoring spin, use first order non-degenerate perturbation theory and the hydrogenic wave functions adapted to the one-electron atom to determine the dependence of the ground state energy of the atom on ?

Silver has two stable isotopes. The nucleus, 10747Ag, has atomic mass 106.905095 g/mol with an abundance of 51.83% ; whereas 10947Ag, has atomic mass 108.904754 g/ mol with an abundance of 48.17%. What is the binding energy per nucleon for each isotope?

An atomic nucleus of mass m traveling with speed v collides elastically with a target particle...

An atomic nucleus of mass m traveling with speed v collides elastically with a target particle of mass 2m (initially at rest) and is scattered at 90°. (a) At what angle does the target particle move after the collision? (b) What are the final speeds of the two particles? (c) What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is transferred to the target particle?

An alpha particle – which is basically a helium nucleus – has a mass of roughly 6.65×10^-27kg and has a net electric charge of +2e. a: Imagine an alpha particle traveling to the left at 350 km/s enters a region with a .5G magnetic field pointed directly upwards. How strong is the force on the alpha particle? b: How does the force on the alpha particle change as it moves through the magnetic field? How does that affect the motion...

A proton in an atomic nucleus is bound to other protons and neutrons in the nucleus...

A proton in an atomic nucleus is bound to other protons and neutrons in the nucleus by the strong nuclear force when it is within approximately 3 fm of another particle. What is the approximate kinetic energy of a proton that is localized to such a region? What would be the corresponding energy of an electron localized to within such a region? Compare this to typical beta energies for beta decay. Is a release of electrons

Is Atomic Mass and Atomic Weight the same terms? Or is Atomic mass and Mass Number...

Is Atomic Mass and Atomic Weight the same terms? Or is Atomic mass and Mass Number the same terms? On the MCAT Kaplan books it says that atomic mass and mass number are the same thing but online and other chemistry textbooks, atomic mass and atomic weight are the same thing. Can someone please clarify which two terms are the same thing or are they all different? I really need help to make sure I understand this for the MCAT.

A hypothetical element Ec has an atomic number of 156 and an atomic mass of 300. 1. How many neutrons and electrons would be found in a neutral Ec atom? 2. If one proton were removed from Ec, would it still be the same element? 3. If one electron were to be gained by an atom of Ec, would it still be the same element? Would anything change about the element?
