Question:

CHEMISTRY! who wants the best answer?

I need the Atomic Number, Mass Numer, Number of protons, number of neutrons and number of electrons for: Sodium, Hydrogen, Neon, Fluorine, Uranium, and Aluminum.

Answer:

Insulation is measured by R factor,higher the better
The best would most likely the spray on foam because it seals every crack and crevisIts used in refrigeration buildings and all type of controlled climates.
To obtain this look at the periodic tableAtomic number Protons and Electrons and neutrons atomic mass - atomic number Na 11 protons and electrons, its atomic number is 11, its mass number is 22.99 which for your question I think it is ok to just subtract that value so 22.99 - 11 11.99 or about 12 neutrons H atomic number 1 therefore 1 proton and 1 electronIts mass number is 1.008 which shows that the most common form of hydrogen contains no neutrons Ne atomic number 10, so 10 protons 10 electrons, mass number is 20.18, so 20.18 - 10 10.18 or 10 neutrons F atomic number 9 so 9 electrons and 9 neutrons, mass number is 19 so 19-9 10 so F has 10 neutrons U atomic number 92 so 92 prot 92 electrons, mass number is 238.03 so 238-92 146 neutrons Al atomic number 13 so 13 protons and 13 electrons, mass number is 26.98, 26.98 - 13 13.98 or around 14 neutrons
Several factors 1What zone are you in? Takes less insulation in MD that it does Caribou ME 2How thick are the studs? IE 2x4 studs the mac is R11 3If it cement you need a thin air chanle to handle the moisture 4Is this above ground or below ground ?
If possible, you can insulate with a 1/2 lbSPF (spray polyurethane foam) - which has a high R value as well and provides high energy savings in the summer as well as winterEasiest way to install is with new construction - the foam is sprayed in liquid form between the studs in the walls - it instantly turns into a rigid foam and fills in any open spacesWhile SPF may be more pricey than other systems - it will pay for itself in energy savings within a few yearsGood luck!
