Thorium is an element that occurs naturally in the earth's crust. The only naturally occurring isotope of thorium is 232Th and i

t is unstable and radioactive. The first step in the Thorium decay chain is the emission of an alpha particle. Which of these nuclei emerges from the decay?
A) 22888Ra

A, radium-228. Alpha radiation is essentially just two protons and two neutrons leaving the atom, causing the atomic number to drop by two (since the protons left) and the mass number to drop by four (since two neutrons and protons left).

A.228_88Ra

In alpha decay a helium nucleus, 42He, is emitted. Since the total number of nucleons must be conserved, the atomic number of the parent nucleus must decrease by two, and the mass number must decrease by four. Here, the new atomic number is 90 - 2 = 88, and new mass number is 232 - 4 = 228.

In the formula for the compound XCl4, the X could represent<br> (1) C (3) Mg<br> (2) Η (4) Zn
Anvisha [2.4K]
Correct Answer: option 1 i.e. C

Reason: 
The the compound of interest i.e.  XCl4, since there are 4 Cl atoms bonded to X. This signifies that the valency of X is 4.

There atomic number of C is 6. It's electronic configuration is giving by 1s2 2s2 2p2. Thus, there are 4 electrons in valence shell of C. This signifies that valency of C is 4. Hence the compound present in present case is CCl4.

The molarity of a 4.200 L solution is 1.230 M Na2CO3. What is the mass of Na2CO3
Lerok [7]

Answer:

547.5g

Explanation:

To get the mass, you need moles.

moles = (molarity)(Liters)

moles = (1.230M)(4.200L) = 5.166 moles Na2CO3

Now, just use stoichiometry

molar mass of Na2CO3 = 2(mass of Na) + (mass of C) + 3(mass of O)

= 2(22.9) + 12.01 + 3(16) = 105.99g/mol

5.166moles(105.99g/mol)

= 547.544

But, the measurements given had 4 significant figures, so in chemistry we write:

547.5g

How did Henry Moseley revise Mendeleev's periodic table? (Please answer A.S.A.P.)
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>If you give it a good search, the most used answer would probably be as follows,

</span><span>In 1914 Henry Moseley found a relationship between an element's X-ray wavelength and its atomic number (Z), and therefore rearranged the table by nuclear charge / atomic number rather than atomic weight. Before this discovery, atomic numbers were just sequential numbers based on an element's atomic weight. Moseley's discovery showed that atomic numbers had an experimentally measurable basis.

What happens to a charged particle that enters a magnetic field?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A charged particle experiences a force when moving through a magnetic field. ... If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. i hope this helped you! have a great day
