Step 1: The atomic number (the subscript) represents the number of protons in an atom. In this case, the atomic number is 33, which corresponds to the element Arsenic (As) in the periodic table.
Step 2: The atomic mass number (the superscript) represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom. In this case, the atomic mass number is 74.
Step 3: To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass number. In this case, 74 (atomic mass number) - 33 (atomic number) = 41.
Step 4: Therefore, the element represented by the symbol 7433X is Arsenic (As), which has 33 protons and 41 neutrons.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Atomic Number

The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. It uniquely identifies an element and determines its position on the periodic table. In the notation <sup>74</sup><sub>33</sub>X, the subscript '33' represents the atomic number, indicating that the element has 33 protons.

Mass Number

The mass number of an atom is the total number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. It is represented by the superscript in the notation <sup>74</sup><sub>33</sub>X, where '74' is the mass number. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass number: neutrons = mass number - atomic number.

Isotopes

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. This results in different mass numbers for the isotopes of the same element. In the case of <sup>74</sup><sub>33</sub>X, knowing the mass number allows us to identify the specific isotope of the element with atomic number 33, which is arsenic.

The nucleus of 6Li is a powerful absorber of neutrons. It exists in the naturally occurring metal to the extent of 7.5%. In the era of nuclear deterrence, large quantities of lithium were processed to remove 6Li for use in hydrogen bomb production. The lithium metal remaining after removal of 6Li was sold on the market. (b) The atomic masses of 6Li and 7Li are 6.015122 and 7.016004 u, respectively. A sample of lithium depleted in the lighter isotope was found on analysis to contain 1.442% 6Li. What is the average atomic weight of this sample of the metal?

Very small semiconductor crystals, composed of approximately 1000 to 10,000 atoms, are called quantum dots. Quantum dots made of the semiconductor CdSe are now being used in electronic reader and tablet displays because they emit light efficiently and in multiple colors, depending on dot size. The density of CdSe is 5.82 g/cm3. (b) CdSe quantum dots that are 2.5 nm in diameter emit blue light upon stimulation. Assuming that the dot is a perfect sphere and that the empty space in the dot can be neglected, calculate how many Cd atoms are in one quantum dot of this size.
