What is a stable and radioactive isotopes

Chemistry
1 answer:
stiks02 [169]3 years ago
4 0
All elements with atomic numbers greater than 83 areradioisotopes<span> meaning that these elements have</span>unstable<span> nuclei and are </span>radioactive<span>. Elements with atomic numbers of 83 and less, have </span>isotopes<span> (</span>stablenucleus) and most have at least one radioisotope (unstable<span> nucleus).



</span>A Radioisotope is also an isotope<span> by nature. The </span>difference<span> is that radioisotopes are very unstable and contain high levels of nuclear energy and emit this energy in the form of nuclear radiation. Main </span>difference<span>: </span>Isotopes<span> can be </span>stable<span> or unstable, but Radioisotopes are always unstable.</span>

If a certain compound has a formula XCl₃ what is the valency of X?
asambeis [7]

The general form of a compound can be written in the form of:

[X(a) Y(b)] ^ c

Where a and b are subscripts, and c is the superscript of the whole formula.

The relationship that we can derived here between the constants is:

(valence of X) * a + (valence of Y) * b = c

Since the formula obviously has no superscript, therefore c = 0. We also know in chemistry class that the valence of Cl is -1, therefore:

valence of X * 1 + (-1) * 3 = 0

valence of X - 3 = 0

<span>valence of X = 3</span>

Which one of the following descriptions relating to nuclear reactions is correct?
monitta

Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.

Explanation:

Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.

Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.

So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.

How does acid rain happen? (Use the term Sulfur Dioxide) PLS HALP
mafiozo [28]
Acid rain<span> is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are released into the air. These substances can rise very high into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants, known as </span>acid rain<span>.</span>

Which of the following is not a clue that a chemical reaction has taken place? *
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A pure solid is heated and turns into a pure liquid.

Explanation:

No colour change recorded, only change of state, hence this is a physical change - physical changes I.e. change of state and temperature are not chemical reactions.
