Imagine that you have many U-235 atoms and you fire a neutron at one of them. What do you think will happen?

Damm [24]2 years ago

The correct answer is Release of large amount of heat and radiation.

U-235, which makes up just over 0.7% of natural uranium, is relatively uncommon; uranium is nearly 100 times more frequent than silver.Because uranium-235, one of the radioactive metal's isotopes, is the only naturally occurring isotope capable of supporting a nuclear fission process, radioactive metal is special. Nuclear power facilities, as well as the nuclear reactors that power ships and submarines, can be powered by uranium that has been "enriched" to have a higher proportion of U-235. In nuclear weapons, it can also be applied. Examples of extremely unstable fission fragments produced by uranium-235 fission events caused by neutron absorption include the barium and krypton nuclei. These pieces nearly instantly split into barium-144 and krypton-89 by releasing three neutrons between them.

Which two reactants make Calcium carbonate?
Norma-Jean [14]

Impossible to form from given reactants

Explanation:

Only sodium has carbonate ion here .so only possible way to displace carbonate is to use potassium

When sodium carbonate and Potassium iodide react with each other double displacement reaction occurs

As potassium is powerful than sodium it displaces sodium to form potassium carbonate .

Then you have to use water and then you can use calcium suppliment .

NH3 1. Lewis Structure 2. Perspective drawing 3. Number of atoms bonded to central atom 4. Number of non-bonding electron pairs
Stels [109]

This question will be answered in parts:

<h3><u>1. Lewis Structure</u></h3>

There are three N-H bonds and one lone pair on the nitrogen atom in the Lewis structure of NH3. On hydrogen atoms, there are no lone pairs that can only hold two electrons.

The lewis structure is as shown in the diagram.

<h3><u>2. Perspective Drawing</u></h3>

A molecule is shown from a viewpoint with its atoms' bonds pointing either in your direction (bolded wedge) or away from you (hash wedge).

The perspective drawing of NH3 is given here

<h3><u>3.Number of atoms bonded to central atom </u></h3>

Nitrogen is the central atom in the Lewis structure of NH3, which also contains one lone pair and is bound to the three hydrogen atoms.

<h3><u>4.Number of non-bonding electron pairs on the central atom</u></h3>

Three bond pairs and two lone pairings exist. This is due to the fact that nitrogen contains five electrons in its outer shell, three of which are bound to hydrogen atoms and two of which are free.

<h3><u>5. Electronic geometry:</u></h3>

The electronic geometry of nitrogen is based on a tetrahedral arrangement of electron pairs, and ammonia likewise possesses four electron pairs. There is only one lone pair because there are only three connected groupings. But since the lone pairs are "invisible," the ammonia has a pyramidal form.

<h3><u>6. Molecular geometry with ideal bond angles</u></h3>

The molecular geometry of ammonia it has a trigonal pyramidal or distorted tetrahedral structure.

The bond angle in ammonia is less than the standard 109.5⁰. The bond angle is 107⁰

<h3><u>7.Hybridization of central atom</u></h3>

The core nitrogen (N) atom in the NH3 molecule has a steric number of (3 + 1) = 4, which causes Sp3 hybridization.

<h3><u>8. Polarity:</u></h3>

Because of its asymmetrical form, a trigonal pyramidal structure, and the different electronegativities of N(3.04) and H(2.2), the NH3 (ammonia) molecule is polar in nature .

A 0.216 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 507 mL and a pressure of 470 mmHg. What is the temperature of the gas i
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin

Explanation:

Ideal gases are a simplification of real gases that is done to study them more easily. It is considered to be formed by point particles, do not interact with each other and move randomly. It is also considered that the molecules of an ideal gas, in themselves, do not occupy any volume.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:  

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:

  • P= 470 mmHg
  • V= 570 mL= 0.570 L
  • n= 0.216 g= 0.0049 moles (being the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44 g/mole)
  • R= 62.36367 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K}
  • T=?

Replacing:

470 mmHg*0.570 L= 0.0049 moles* 62.36367 \frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} *T

Solving:

T=\frac{470 mmHg*0.570 L}{0.0049 moles* 62.36367\frac{mmHg*L}{mol*K} }

T= 876.69 K

<em><u>The temperature of the gas is 876.69 Kelvin</u></em>

elena-s [515]

Answer:

C) the study of the composition of the atom.

Explanation:

A research can be defined as a systematic investigation or careful consideration of study with respect to a particular problem using scientific methods such as collection of data, documenting critical information, analysis of data, and the establishment of facts in order to reach new conclusions.

Similarly, a basic research is an approach to research that's typically theoritical and it's aimed at developing a theory, searching for the truth or gain a better understanding about a phenomenon, subject, or basic laws on nature.

In this context, an example of basic research is the study of the composition of the atom.

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such determines or defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.
