Determine the identity of the daughter nuclide from the electron capture by 84be.

Chemistry
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago
7 0
Answer:
8  Li3

Explanation:

1) Electrons are called beta radiation (β)

2) Electrons are considered massless and with 1 negative charge, so in the nuclear reactions they are written as:
 0   e-1

Which means that they do not change the mass number of the isotope but reduces its atomic number in 1.

2) Then, the capture of one electron by berylium-8 means that it will reduce its atomic number in one unit and while its mass number will be the same.

3) The given isotope is:
 8
    Be  4


4) Then the resultant daughter will have the same mass number (8) and aomic number 3.

The element with atomic number 3 is Li, so it will be:

8  Li3


5) The total nuclear reaction is:

8               0         8
  Be + 1      e →     Li
4              -1         3

Which of the follow describes what happpens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from the solid state to a liquid stat
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

Kinetic energy increases.

Explanation:

In a solid, molecules do not have much room to move. They are very slow moving, which means that kinetic energy is low. In a liquid, molecules have more room to move. They are able to move faster than a solid, which means that kinetic energy is low.

From greatest to lowest kinetic energy:

gas, liquid, solid

True or false the si in sih4 does not follow the octet rule because hydrogen is in an unusual oxidation stat
ExtremeBDS [4]
The statement is true. The octet rule refers to the general rule of thumb wherein atoms of main-group elements tend to bond with other atoms in such a way that each atom possesses eight electrons (octet) in their valence shell. They tend to form the same electronic configuration as the noble gases. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. One of which is silane, SiH₄. A hydrogen atom only has 1 valence electron and needs another electron to complete its energy level. This is unlike other atoms, for example, carbon which has 4 valence electrons and needs to form 4 covalent bonds to fill its energy levels. Thus, 4 hydrogen atoms need only 4 more electrons. This is given by the silicon atom which has 4 valence electrons. Therefore, when a silicon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms, the resulting molecule, SiH₄, is a stable one.

Consider the double replacement reaction given below: HgNO3(aq) + KBr(aq) → HgBr (??) + KNO3(??)The state of matter for HgBr wou
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: The state of maater for HgBr is solid.

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.  

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.  

The balanced chemical equation is:

HgNO_3(aq)+KBr(aq)\rightarrow HgBr(s)+KNO_3(aq)
