Among ¹⁴⁰₅₅Cs and ¹³³₅₅Cs, <u>¹³³₅₅Cs</u> is more stable.

<h3>Briefly explained</h3>

Let's review the criteria that are used to determine a stable isotope. A stable isotope will have more neutrons than protons with a neutron to proton ratio somewhere between one and 1.52 On the high atomic number, we're up to 152 at low atomic numbers were closer to one. More stable isotopes have an even number of protons. And neutrons.

And stable isotopes have their proton or neutron number equal to one of these magic numbers. So if we have season one, It has 85 Protons are start 85 neutrons And 55 protons. So we have a neutron to proton ratio of 155 for CCM 1 33. We have 78 neutrons and 55 protons for a neutron to proton ratio of 1.42. 155 is a little high for z equal to 55.

Both of these are also odd. So ¹⁴⁰₅₅Cs is the least stable. ¹³³₅₅Cs is the most stable.

Which of the following particles are the least massive in comparison to the others?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The majority of an atoms' mass comes from the protons and neutrons that make up its nucleus. Electrons are the least massive of an atom's constituent particles, with a mass of 9.11 x 10-31 kg and a size too small to be measured by current techniques.

Suppose that you add 26.7 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a K f of 5.12 oC/m. With the adde

nadya68 [22]

Answer: The molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol

Explanation:

Depression in freezing point is given by:

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m$

$\Delta T_f=2.74^0C$ = Depression in freezing point

i= vant hoff factor = 1 (for molecular compound)

$K_f$ = freezing point constant = $5.12^0C/m$

m= molality

$\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{molar mass of solute}\times \text{weight of solvent in kg}}$

Weight of solvent (benzene)= 0.250 kg

Molar mass of solute = M g/mol

Mass of solute = 26.7 g

$2.74^0C=1\times 5.12\times \frac{26.7g}{Mg/mol\times 0.250kg}$

$M=200g/mol$

Thus the molar mass of the unknown compound is 200 g/mol

How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 22.8g of butane react

Juliette [100K]

Butane undergoes combustion to produce carbon dioxide and water, expressed in the following reaction <span> C4H10 (g) + O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O (g) . 1 mole of butane is to 4 moles of CO2. In this case, when 22.8 grams of butane or 0.393 moles of it, 69.18 grams of carbon dioxide is produced</span>

BaLLatris [955]

Answer : The radioisotope which has longest half-life and can be best to be used in powering planet and space exploration vehicle and travel farther will be Plutonium - 239 as it has the half life of 24065 years. Which in comparison to other radioisotopes is longest.

Hence, Plutonium - 239 can be the best suitable radioisotope for powering the planet and space exploration vehicle to travel farther.
