the stability of the radioactive element

Explanation:

The stability of a radioactive element can influence the rate of nuclear decay reaction. Pressure, temperature and concentration only affects chemical changes. These factors would not have any effect on radioactive decay of an element.

  • Every atomic nucleus have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures the stability of the nucleus.
  • Any nucleus that deviates from the stability ratio will continue to split until it achieves stability.
  • The more unstable a nucleus is, the faster it decays.
  • This is the basis of radioactive decay of elements.

an element "x" has the election configuration 2,8,3 this element is found in ______group and_____period A.3,llla B.llla,3 C.vlla
iogann1982 [59]

This element is found in group 3A, period 3

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The maximum number of electrons that can be filled in the nth electron shell is 2n²(n=shell)

  • K shell (n = 1) maximum 2 x 1² = 2 electrons
  • L shell (n = 2) maximum 2 x 2² = 8 electrons
  • M shell (n = 3) maximum 2 x 3² = 18 electrons
  • N shell (n = 4) maximum 2 x 4² = 32 electrons

Electron configuration of element X : 2.8.3 , so :

K shell = 2 ⇒1s²

L shell = 8⇒2s²2p⁶

M shell = 3⇒ 3s²3p¹

Block p: group 13-18 (has a 2p-6p configuration), also called a representative element because it includes metals, non-metals and metalloids

The outer shell 3s²3p¹ : located in group 3A and period 3

group⇒valence electron ⇒3

period⇒the greatest value of the quantum number n⇒3

First of all, let's write the equation of the reaction.
CH₃COOH + NaOH ⇒ CH₃COONa + H₂O
The formula to be used here is CaVa/CbVb = na/nb
where Ca is the concentration of the acid (?)
Cb is the concentration of the base (0.175M)
Va is the volume of the acid (25 mL)
Vb is the volume of the base (37.5 mL)
na is the number of moles of acid (1)
nb is the number of moles of base (1)
Ca × 25/0.175 × 37.5 = 1/1
Ca = 0.175 × 37.5 × 1 /25 ×1
Ca = 0.263 M
The concentration of the acid in the sample was 0.263 M
