''Answer with complete solution pls thank you!
Can you explain to me how this is solved - If 112 g of silicon (Si) react completely with 64 g of oxygen (O) to form silica (SiO2), what is the atomic weight of silicon? I am supposed to solve it not using a periodic table and am very confused as to how to get to the answer in the book, 28.
Make the (incorrect) assumption that the nucleus is composed of electrons and that the protons are out- side. (a) If the size of an atom were about 10-¹⁰ m, what would be the speed of a proton? (b) What would be the total mechanical energy? (c) What is wrong with this model?
(a) What voltage must be applied to an X-ray tube to obtain 0.0100-fm-wavelength X-rays for use in exploring the details of nuclei? (b) What is unreasonable about this result? (c) Which assumptions are unreasonable or inconsistent?
. A general expression for the energy levels of one-electron atoms and ions is uk q°q² E, 2h'n? Here u is the reduced mass of the atom, given by u = m, m,/ (m, + m2), where m is the mass of the electron and m, is the mass of the nucleus; k, is the Coulomb constant; and q and 2 are the charges of the electron and the nucleus, respec- tively. The wavelength for the n= 3 to n = 2 transition of the hydrogen atom is 656.3 nm (visible red light). What are the wavelengths for this same transition in (a) positronium, which consists of an electron and a positron, and (b) singly ionized helium? Note: A positron is a positively charged electron.
Rutherford found the size of the nucleus to be about 10-15 m. This implied a huge density. What would this density be in kg/m3 for gold? (Assume that the "size" of the nucleus is its diameter.) kg/m3

Radius of an atomic nucleus is of the order 2.5 fm. What is the minimum energy that an electron should have to be found inside the atomic nucleus? Is this possible in reality? Explain. Provide the final answer below and upload the solution in the MCr-
In Rutherford’s famous set of experiments described inSection 27–10, the fact that some alpha particles weredeflected at large angles indicated that (choose all that apply)(a) the nucleus was positive.(b) charge was quantized.(c) the nucleus was concentrated in a small region ofspace.(d) most of the atom is empty space.(e) None of the above.
Using the Bohr formulas, estimate the average distance from the nucleus for an electron in the innermost (n = 1) orbit in uranium (Z = 92). What is its kinetic energy and potential energy? Approximately how much energy would be required to remove it? (if possible with equations and a diagram, thanks)
What is the probability that an electron in the base state of the hydrogen atom will be found inside the nucleus? (let the radius of the nucleus be r).
The first ionization energy of an atom is the minimum energy needed to remove one electron. The second ionization energy is the energy to remove a second electron. What is the second ionization energy of 4He? In other words, consider a "He' jon. What is its ionization energy Eton? (A link to a periodic table is below.)
