A sample of a uranium compound is found to be losing mass gradually. Explain what is happening to the sample.

Chemistry
1 answer:
irina [24]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Uranium have an unstable nuclei , hence it  is a radioactive element , and radioactive element can undergo radioactive decay like the alpha decay , beta decay .

Radioactive decay is a spontaneous breakdown of the atomic nucleus which , results in the release of energy along with radioactive particles , like alpha , beta , gamma etc .

Hence ,

The mass is lost from a sample of uranium .

Choose the term that best fits the following definition: the liquid or gas that carries the sample across the solid support.
iren [92.7K]

The correct answer is option B.

The liquid or gas that carries the sample across the solid support is called mobile phase.

In chromatography, there are two phases: mobile phase and solid phase.

The mobile phase can be either in gas form or liquid form.

While performing the chromatography technique, mobile phase moves over the stationary phase and its components adsorb to the stationary phase and set apart from each other at different rates.

In general, mobile phase refers to the solvent phase that slides over the stationary phase through the chromatography paper.

on the other hand, stationary phase is motionless.

Determine the maximum number of electrons in the 2f designation
sergejj [24]

How many electrons fit in each shell around an atom?

The maximum number of electrons that can occupy a specific energy level can be found using the following formula:

Electron Capacity = 2n2

The variable n represents the Principal Quantum Number, the number of the energy level in question.

Energy Level
(Principal Quantum Number) Shell Letter Electron Capacity
1 K 2
2 L 8
3 M 18
4 N 32
5 O 50
6 P 72
Keep in mind that an energy level need not be completely filled before electrons begin to fill the next level. You should always use the Periodic Table of Elements to check an element's electron configuration table if you need to know exactly how many electrons are in each level.
