Nuclear decay is more likely to occur when?​

Chemistry

Maru [420]4 years ago

Answer:

Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

It happens when a heavy nucleus is bombarded with neutrons, so it becomes unstable and decomposes into two nuclei.

Explanation:

This is known by the term nuclear fission, which is a reaction by which a heavy nucleus, when bombarded with neutrons, becomes unstable and divides into two nuclei, of sizes of the same order of magnitude, there is a high release of energy and emits two or three neutrons. These neutrons can lead to more fissions by interacting with other fissile nuclei.

Complete the chemical reaction that occurs when dimethylamine (ch3)2nh reacts with water.
grandymaker [24]
Dimethyl amine is Base. The basic character of it is due to the presence of lone pair of electron on nitrogen atom. The strength of amines is basically due to the presence of alkyl group attached to nitrogen atom. These alkyl groups donates electron to nitrogen atom hence increasing electron density on nitrogen and increasing its basic character.

When dimethylamine ( Kb = 5.9 × 10⁻⁴) is reacted with water it abstracts proton from water molecule convertion it into Hydroxide Ion (i.e ⁻OH). The reaction is as follow,

                          (CH₃)₂N  +  H₂O   →   (CH₃)₂N⁺H   +   ⁻OH

How did Niels Bohr describe electrons in his atomic model
Reptile [31]

Answer: Bohr proposed his quantized shell model of the atom to explain how electrons can have stable orbits around the nucleus. 

so C would seems to be right.

Explanation: The energy of an electron depends on the size of the orbit and is lower for smaller orbits. Radiation can occur only when the electron jumps from one orbit to another. The atom will be completely stable in the state with the smallest orbit, since there is no orbit of lower energy into which the electron can jump.

Given the elements Cl, 784 kJ-mol"', match the atoms with their first ionization energies Ge, and K and three values of possible
ipn [44]

Answer:

b.  CI (1255 kJ/mol), Ge (784 kJ/mol), and K (418 kJ-mol)

Explanation:

In general, the first ionization energy for a given period increases as we go from left to right in the periodic table (there are some exeptions as with every rule), and the first ionization energy decreases a we go down in the periodic table. The reason for this are:

1. As we move from left to right in a group, the effective nuclear charge increases which makes it harder to remove the electron.

2. As we increase the period in going top to bottom in the periodic table we are adding another shell farther away from the nucleus, making it easier to remove the electron.

Given the three values for the first ionization energy in kJ/mol : 418, 784 and 1255, we expect the highest value to correspond to Cl which belongs to period 3 (K and Ge belong to period 4).

Now comparing K and Ge which belong to period 4, Ge will have a higher effective nuclear charge than K .

So the match will be Cl (1255 kJ/mol), Ge (784) and K(418)

Correct answer is b.

Note: there could be some confusion since the value of 784 was misplaced in the question statement, but we can deduce that in this question we are asked to match the values for the atoms.
