Answer these questions based on 234.04360 as the atomic mass of thorium-234. The masses for the subatomic particles are given. Round the mass defect to the 5th decimal place. mass of a proton: 1.00728 amu mass of a neutron: 1.00866 amu How many protons does Thorium have? How many neutrons does Thorium-234 have? Calculate the mass defect for the isotope thorium-234 = amu

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
