Which two atoms could be the "before'' and ''after'' of an alpha ejection

spin [16.1K]

The answer would be uranium and thorium. When an alpha ejects a particle, it will create a new atom. So, when uranium ejects an alpha particle, it will produce thorium. They call this process as the alpha decay. Alpha decay often happens on atoms that are abundant nuclei such as uranium, radium, and thorium.

Problem page in each of the molecules drawn below one chemical bond is colored red. decide whether this bond is likely to be pol

Slav-nsk [51]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Problem page in each of the molecules drawn below one chemical bond is colored red. Decide whether this bond is likely to be polar or not. if the bond is likely to be polar, write down the chemical symbol for the atom which will have more negative charge.

The image is attached below.

Answer:

For carbon dioxide molecule: The bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

For water molecule: The bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

Explanation:

There are two types of covalent bonds:

Polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when difference in electronegativity between the atoms is present. When atoms of different elements combine, it results in the formation of polar covalent bond. For Example: $CO_2,NO_2$ etc..
Non-polar covalent bond: This bond is formed when there is no difference in electronegativity between the atoms. When atoms of the same element combine, it results in the formation of non-polar covalent bond. For Example: $N_2,O_2$ etc..

In carbon dioxide molecule:

The given bond is present between C and O atom.

Electronegativity value of C = 2.5

Electronegativity value of O = 3.5

Electronegativity difference = (3.5 - 2.5) = 1

As, electronegativity difference is present. So, the bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

In water molecule:

The given bond is present between H and O atom.

Electronegativity value of H = 2.1

Electronegativity value of O = 3.5

Electronegativity difference = (3.5 - 2.1) = 1.4

As, electronegativity difference is present. So, the bond is considered as polar and the elecvtronegative atom is oxygen.

Which of the following compounds contains the lead (iv) ion?

Oliga [24]

Oxidation state of Pb in PbO2 is +4.
Oxidation state of Pb in PbCl2 is +2.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb2O is +1.
Oxidation state of Pb in Pb4O3 is +6/4.

Hence option A. PbO2 is correct.
Hope this helps, have a nice day!

Salt dissolved in water is a solution, therefore

salt is not chemically bonded to water
the ratio of salt to water may vary
salt and water retain their own chemical properties

Explanation:

Salt (sodium chloride) is formed from positive sodium ions bonded to negative chloride ions. Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water particles attracts the negative chloride ions of salt. The water particle effects to be charged negatively near the atom of oxygen and positively near the atom of hydrogen.

Since contrasts attract, the water molecules tend to join collectively like magnets. Water is called the universal solvent since it can solve more substances than any other liquid. The salt and water retain their unique chemical properties.
