Question
An $\alpha$ particle, $4 \mathrm{e}^{2+},$ has a mass of 4.00151 amu. Find the value of its charge-to-mass ratio in $\mathrm{C} / \mathrm{kg}$ .
Step 1
Since the helium nucleus is stripped of two electrons, it has a two plus charge. This means there are no electrons, only two protons and two neutrons. Show more…
