Hydrogen has one electron, helium has two electrons, and lithium has three electrons. Hydrogen and lithium are both reactive, bu

t helium is unreactive. How could the quantum mechanical model of the atom explain this pattern of behavior?

Basically Helium gas is inert and it shows duplet behaviour. It has two electrons in it's valence shell hence the duplet rule is obeyed. He gas does not need any more electrons to get stable because it is already stable

An unknown metal sample has a mass : of 11.29. and a volume of 2 cm3. What is the : density of the unknown metal? ​
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

\boxed{\sf Density \ of \ the \ unknown \ metal = 5.645 \ g/cm^3}

Given:

Mass = 11.29 g

Volume = 2 cm³

To Find:

Density of unknown metal

Explanation:

Formula:

\boxed{ \bold{Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}}}

Substituting value of mass & volume in the formula:

\sf \implies Density =  \frac{11.29}{2} \\  \\   \sf \implies Density =  5.645 \: g/cm^3

The main reasons why h2co has a higher vapor pressure at a given temperature when compared to ch3oh is that h2co
Katen [24]
You know that each carbon atom can take as much as 4 bonds with other elements. A hydrogen can only take one bond, while an oxygen can take 2. Thus, the chemical formula of H₂CO may be written as H₂C=O which is acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is an aldehyde. It has a higher vapor pressure because aldehydes have much stronger bonds than hydrogen bonds in alcohols. Hence, it would need a lot energy, thus higher vapor pressure, to break the bonds of an aldehyde than it would for an alcohol.

A scientist has a sample of uranium–238 (U–238) that is decaying to thorium–234 (Th–234). During the transmutation, a gamma ray
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

  • <u>The container must be built of lead, and it should be kept in a concrete vault.</u>

Explanation:

The goal is to contain the <em>gamma rays</em> to<em> reduce</em> the <em>exposure </em>to their harmful <em>radiation</em>.

The gamma rays are the most energetic electromagnetic radiation: they have the smallest wavelength, the largest frequency, and the largest energy from all the electromagnetic radiations.

Due to that, only very dense substances like lead and concrete can stop the gamma rays. In the case of concrete, large blocks with thick walls are required.

Thus, in a lab the best container for a sample of uranium - 238 that is decaying, emitting gamma rays, must be built of lead, and enclosed in a conrete vault.
