$\begingroup$ @AndaluZ - Basically, but it is a little more subtle than that - every ratio yields an integer number of protons. So, the proton could be a composite particle, which it in fact is at high enough energies. But no matter how you parse an atom, you get an integer number of units of +1 charge. $\endgroup$ –
How can one measure the numbers of protons or electrons (the atomic number) in a substance? Like if the element I examine is carbon I expect the result to be 6. Preferable a simple experiment which can be done in the kitchen with kids attending (cheap and safe). Any atoms will do. A mass spectrometry is not available.
Having spent time determining the number of chemical and magnetic environments is pointless because the spectrum looks so complicated that it looks nothing like you would expect, although this is hardly presumed knowledge for NMR101. A more suitable choice of substituents, -NH2 and -COOH or -CH3 and -COOH, would have provided a much better example.
Number of neutrons in an atom is obtained by subtracting atomic number from atomic mass (Z) i.e A – Z. Hydrogen has one proton but can have 0 or 1 or 2 neutrons. But, almost 99.98% of the hydrogen atoms found in nature have zero neutrons. Similarly, there are variations in number of neutrons for each and every element resulting different ...
I can find the molar concentration of $\ce{H+}$ and subsequently the number of $\ce{H+}$ ions, but I am getting a fractional number ($\approx 2 \times 10^{-2}$). This is obviously wrong as there should be at least $1$ proton in a compartment which has an acidic $\mathrm{pH}$ .
There are no techniques that directly count the number of electrons, protons and neutrons in an atom. All deductions about basic atomic structure were established indirectly, well before the 1940s with the help of chemical properties and purely chemical measurements of atomic weights. No machines needed except a highly accurate mass balance.
The key to identifying magnetic equivalence is whether any proton outside of the group under consideration has identical couplings to each proton in the group. Magnetically inequivalent protons generate coupling patterns through J-couplings to each other, even though they might share a chemical shift due to chemical equivalence.
A neutral atom is an atom where the charges of the electrons and the protons balance. Luckily, one electron has the same charge (with opposite sign) as a proton. Example: Carbon has 6 protons. The neutral Carbon atom has 6 electrons. The atomic number is 6 since there are 6 protons.
1. X-rays are not emitted by protons. They are emitted by atomic electrons when they fall down from an upper orbit (or level) to another one near the nucleus. Of course the electrons have first to be excited (= sent to this highly excited level). But whatever the way of exciting the electron, the energy of the transition corresponding to the ...
251 2 6. 1. Carbon is defined as an atom with six protons (and 6 electrons). That is the nature of the periodic table. It is so per definition. I suppose your real question is: how can we determine if something is really carbon. Right? – Jori. Nov 15, 2014 at 17:20.
