un atomo neutro posee 40 neutrones y su numero de masa es el triple del numero de protones. Halla su número atomico

20.

Explanation:

Hola,

En este caso, debemos recordar que para un elemento químico, el número de neutrones que hay en un átomo viene de restar el número másico y el número atómico del mismo:

Así, dado que en este caso requerimos el número atómico, obtenemos:

Ahora, con la información, notamos que número de masa es el triple de los protones que a su vez resultan iguales al número atómico, por lo tanto:

Así que el número de protones es:

Es decir que el número atómico ha de ser 20.

Saludos.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
