96 POINTS 1. An atom of platinum has a mass number of 195 and an atomic number of 78. How many protons and neutrons are in this atom? – Calculate your answer and please note that work must be shown to earn credit.

We see that the mass number of this atom is 195. And then, atomic number, the number of protons, is 78. 195 minus 78 is equal to 117. This then is the number of neutrons in this platinum atom.

Please allow me to know if this helped with a thank you!

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
