When most radioactive atoms “spontaneously” decay to a more stable form the “additional” energy is converted to radiation with the emission of radioactive particles.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

Radioactivity is the spontaneous decay of the nucleus of an atom with the emission of radiation and nuclear particles.

Elements that spontaneously decay are called radioactive elements.

When these radioactive elements decay, they form more stable isotopes or elements.

The spontaneous decay of atoms of radioactive elements is in order for the nucleus of the atom to become stable and non-radioactive.

1)
-Lithium: Lithium got 3 protons, so it atomic number is 3. It is located on the first column of the periodic table, and belonging to the alkali metal. So lithium is a metal. Lithium is highly reactive.
-Neon: It is located on the 18th column of the periodic table, and belong to the noble gases. So Neon is a nonmetal. Neon's reactivity is very low.
-Fluorine: Located on the 17th column of the periodic metal, fluorine is a nonmetal, and belong to the halogen family. Fluorine's reactivity is high.

2)
-Vertical columns of the periodic table are called columns. There is 18 column in the periodic table, and each one represent a chemical family.
-Horizontal rows of the periodic table care called periods. There is 7 periods in the periodic table.
-The number of protons in an atom is that element's atomic number. And since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. So if you have the number of electrons, you can still find the atomic number.
-The total of protons and neutrons in an atom is that element's atomic mass. Based on the formula A = Z + N, where A represents the atomic mass, Z the atomic number (number of protons) and N the number of neutrons.
-The elements in group 1 are the most reactive metals. This group is called the Alkali metals. They only have 1 electron in their outer shell which makes them always ready to lose an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 17 are the most reactive nonmetals. This group is called the Halogens, with 7 electrons in their outer shell which makes them always ready to win an electron in an ionic bonding.
-The elements in group 18 are the most unreactive elements. This group is called the Noble gases. Their outer shell is always full, so it can't do reactions.

Hope this Helps! :)

How many moles of aluminum are needed to make 9 moles of molecular hydrogen? given the reaction: 2 al + 6 hcl → 2 alcl3 + 3h2 6
sergiy2304 [10]
1) Chemical equation

2Al + 6 HCl ---> 2Al Cl3 + 3 H2

2) molar ratios

2 mol Al : 3 moles H2

3) Proportion

2 mol Al /  3mol H2 = x / 9 mol H2

4) Solve for x

x = 9 mol H2 * 2 mol Al / 3 mol H2 = 6 mol Ag

Answer: 6 moles

Which compound does not form a precipitate when reacted with sodium hydroxide?
Alla [95]

Answer:

NaNO₃

Explanation:

A precipitate is a compound or a salt formed from a precipitation reaction and does not dissolve in water and therefore will exist in solid state.

From the choices given precipitation reaction will occur between;

  • Fe(NO₃)₃(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₃(s) + 3NaNO₃(aq)
  • Cu(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2NaNO₃(aq)
  • FeSO₄(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Fe(OH)₂(s) + Na₂SO₄(aq)

Fe(OH)₃, Cu(OH)₂, and Fe(OH)₂ are precipitates.

From the rules of solubility, hydroxides are insoluble except Ca(OH)₂ which is slightly soluble and hydroxides of ammonium and alkali metals.
