What chemical property must argon have to make it a suitable choice for light bulbs?

Chemistry
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
8 0
Argon is a suitable choice for light bulbs because it's inert. Compared to a reactive gas like oxygen, the metal filimant would burn up in a reactive  enviroment, which is why a noble gas is used.

What type of elements generally bond covalently, and how do they satisfy the octet rule?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Covalent, or, elements on the right side of the ladder (on the periodic table). Covalent compounds satisfy the octet rule by sharing electrons.

A breeder nuclear reactor is a reactor in which nonfissile U-238 is converted into fissile Pu-239. The process involves bombardm
VARVARA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear equations for the given process is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the bombardment of neutron to U-238 isotope follows:

_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}+n\rightarrow _{92}^{239}\textrm{U}

Beta decay is defined as the process in which neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the first beta decay process of _{92}^{239}\textrm{U} follows:

_{92}^{239}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the second beta decay process of _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np} follows:

_{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}\rightarrow _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the nuclear equations for the given process is written above.

The red arrow is pointed at different locations of an atom of Helium. Where is it pointing to the GREATEST concentration of atom
Mama L [17]

Answer:

A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example  in case of Helium:

The 1st one diagram shows that arrow is pointing with in nucleus. The helium nucleus contain two protons and two neutrons. Thus maximum mass is present with in nucleus. while two electrons are revolve around the nucleus and mass of electron is negligible.

sample of substance X has a mass of 326.0 g releases 4325.8 cal when it freezes at its freezing point. If substance X has a mola
ELEN [110]
Number of moles ( substance x ):

1 mole --------- 58.45 g/mol
? mole --------- 326.0 g

326.0 x 1 / 58.45 => 5.577 moles

 heat of fusion:

hf = Cal / moles

hf = 4325.8 Cal / 5.577 moles

hf = 775.65 cal/mol

hope this helps!
