4 neutrons that are produced along with the Zn and sm. The complete final equation is:  ²³⁵U + ¹n → \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm + 4 n

<h3>What atomic mass?</h3>

Atomic mass, the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element.

1) In the left side of the transmutation equation appears:

²³⁵U + ¹n →

Deleting the atomic number (subscript to the left) because the question does not show them as it is focused on a number of neutrons.

2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:

→ \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm +?

3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236

4) The total mass number of Zn and sm on the right side is 160 + 72 = 232

5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 232 = 4 unit masses on the right side which are the 4 neutrons that are produced along with the Zn and sm.

The complete final equation is:

²³⁵U + ¹n → \;^{72}Zn+\;^{160}sm + 4 n

Why is it called endogenous process
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The Earth is shaped by many geological processes. ... Processes caused by forces from within the Earth are endogenous processes. Exo is a prefix meaning "out", and endo is a prefix meaning "in". Many exogenous (extraterrestrial) forces are caused by other bodies in the Solar System.

What is the maximum amount in moles of P2O5P2O5 that can theoretically be made from 112 gg of O2O2 and excess phosphorus
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

n_{P_2O_5}^{max}=1.4molP_2O_5

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the reaction between phosphorous and oxygen to form diphosphorous pentoxide is:

2P+\frac{5}{2}O_2\rightarrow P_2O_5

Thus, since phosphorous is in excess and oxygen and diphosphorous pentoxide are in a 5/2:1 mole ratio, we can compute the maximum moles of product as shown below:

n_{P_2O_5}^{max}=112 gO_2*\frac{1molO_2}{32.00gO_2}*\frac{1molP_2O_5}{5/2molO_2}\\\\  n_{P_2O_5}^{max}=1.4molP_2O_5

Best regards!

explain using diagrams how potassium forms the compound potassium flouride when it reacts with flourine
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

Potassium (K) has 19 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8, 1.

Fluorine (F) has 9 electrons with electronic configuration of 2, 7.

Fluorine needs 1 electron to complete it's octet configuration.

Hence, potassium (K), will lose 1 electron to fluorine (F) to form potassium ion (K+) with electronic configuration of 2, 8, 8. The fluorine atom (F) will receive the 1 electron from potassium to form the fluoride ion (F-) with electronic configuration of 2, 8.
