If an individual proton has mass 1.007825 amu, and an individual neutron has mass 1.008665 amu, what's the calculated mass of a neptunium-236 nucleus? options: A) 237.92482 amu B) 236.99873 amu C) 237.96682 amu D) 237.04817 amu

C) 237.96682 amu

Explanation:

The symbol for neptunium-236 is given as;

²³⁶₉₃Np

This element has 93 protons and (236 - 93 = 143) neutrons.

Mass Number =Total mass of Protons + Total mass of neutrons

Total Mass pf protons = 93 * 1.007825 amu, = 93.727725 amu

Total mass of Neutrons = 143 * 1.008665 amu = 144.239095 amu

Mass = 144.239095 + 93.727725  = 237.96682 amu

Correct option is option C.

the density(ratio between mass and volume as m/v) decreases from top to bottom in periodic table group as the size increases and nuclear charge decreases. but in periods density increases from left to right as atom size decreases and nuclear charge increases.

i think it's c. i'm not sure but i think so.
