Answer : The correct option is, (B) H_2SO_3,HSO_3^-

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Or we can say that, conjugate acid is proton donor and conjugate base is proton acceptor.

The given equilibrium reaction is,

H_2SO_3(aq)+CN^-\rightleftharpoons HSO_3^-(aq)+HCN(aq)

Here, H_2SO_3 is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms HSO_3^{-} which is a conjugate base. That means, H_2SO_3/HSO_3^- are act as a conjugate acid-base pairs.

Hence, correct option is, (B) H_2SO_3,HSO_3^-

Why does a gold isotope, with an atomic number of 79, require more neutrons to be stable than a sodium isotope, with an atomic n
Leya [2.2K]

Here’s a simplified explanation.

The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.

The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.

A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.

With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.

If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.

<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.

If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge ther.

Answer:

B:  Fission reactors generate huge amounts of heat.

C:  Fission breaks down unstable elements such as uranium in a breeder                         reactor which is broken down in the process of fusion which is literally breaking down of elements.

E: fission is used in nuclear weapons as it is easier to accomplish then fusion  bombs

Explanation:

A: as a zero-waste energy source

B: for generating large amounts of heat

C: for creating stable elements from unstable ones

D: for creating new, heavier elements

E: as the energy source in nuclear weapons

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

When an atom gains or loses energy, the  energy of an electron can change.

An electron in an atom can move from one  energy level to another when the atom gains  or loses energy.

Explanation:

The possible energies that electrons in an atom

can have are called energy levels.

• An electron cannot exist between energy levels.
