The number and arrangement of the electrons in an atom is what determines the chemical properties of an atom. Chemical properties of an atom, element, or compound can be observed when a chemical change occurs, and the electrons surrounding an atom can help form chemical bonds with other atoms.

Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

That's because in water NaF will dissolve to produce Na+,the conjugate base of a strong acid which will not react with water.however F- will behave like a bronsted base, and accept a proton from water.this is called hydrolysis reaction, because a molecule of water is broken up.

a conjugate base is what I leftover after an acid loses a hydrogen ion.

I hope this helps

Part complete When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in the formation

nikdorinn [45]

Answer: The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier nuclei breaks down in two or more smaller nuclei.

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 3

A = 139

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 36 + 0

Z = 56

The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{139}\textrm{Ba}$

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

The isotopic symbol of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

Hence, the isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

A factor that changes in an experiment from manipulation of the independent variable is the what?

melomori [17]

Manipulation of the independent variable should change the dependent variable, the value of which "depends" on the independent variable's change in value.

I need help please, thanks!

Answer:

This question is somehow not clear, because a typical human eye can notice objects which have wavelengths from about 380 to 740 nanometers. This is called visible spectrum (the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is visible to the human eye). Electromagnetic radiation in this range of wavelengths is called visible light or simply light.

Someone even can see extra colors - they able to see beyond the visible spectrum. The reason that the human eye can see the spectrum is because those specific wavelengths stimulate the retina in the human eye. The human retina can only detect incident light that falls in waves from about 380 to 740 nanometers long, so we can’t see microwave or ultraviolet wavelengths. This also applies to infrared lights which has wavelengths longer than visible and shorter than microwaves, thus being invisible to the human eye.

In conclusion, the human eye can not notice that objects with wavelength not in the range of 380 to 740 nanometers.
