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.

The electron configuration for neon (atomic number = 10) is NOT 1s22s12p6. Which of the following are reasons why? (Mark all tha
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  B and C.

Explanation:

Neon atomic number = 10

Electron configuration is not :   1s²2s¹2p⁶  .

This electron configuration is for fluor (9 electrons) because is we sum up the electrons ( 2 + 1 + 6) the result is 9.

A)The 3s orbital should be part of the configuration.  This is not the right reason.

B)The total number of electrons is incorrect.  This correct, the number of electrons is 9 instead of 10.

C)The 2s orbital does not have enough electrons.  This option is correct, 2s must have 2 electrons and it only has 1.

D) The 1s orbital does not have enough electrons. This option is incorrect, 1s orbital can have only 2 electrons.

How many moles are in 442.8 g of strontium carbonate (SrCO3)?
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

3 moles

Explanation:

SrCO3

Mass = 442.8g

Molar mass = (87.6 + 12 * [16*3]) = 147.6g/mol

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Number of moles = 442.8 / 147.6

Number of moles = 3

What is the pressure of a sample of gas at a volume of .335 L if it occupies 1700 mL at 850 mm Hg?
dangina [55]

Answer:

Pressure = 4313.43mmHg

Explanation:

P1 = ?

V1 = 0.335L

V2 = 1700mL =1700*10^-3L = 1.7L

P2 = 850mmhg

From Boyle's law, the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure provided that temperature remains constant.

P = k / v

K = pv. P1V1 = P2V2 = P3V3 =........=PnVn

P1V1 = P2V2

Solve for P1,

P1 = (P2*V2) / V1

P1 = (850 * 1.7) / 0.335

P1 = 4313.43mmHg

The pressure of the gas was 4313.43mmHg
