If fluorine 20 undergoes beta decay , what will it become ?

1 answer:

7 0

Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).

as the elements period 3 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, the number of principal energy levels in each succ

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

stay the same.

Explanation: Period 3 consists of the full 1s, 2s, and 2p electron orbitals, plus the 3s and 3p valence orbitals, which are filled with a total of 8 more electrons as we move from left (Na) to the far right (Ar):

Na: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Ar: s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

As we move from left to right, and ignoring the already-filled 1s, 2s, and 2p orbitals, the period three starting and ending elements have the following:

Na: 3s1

Ar: 3s2, 3p6

All the new electrons electrons filled the third energy level (3s and 3p). So the energy level does not change, just the orbitals.

During our phase changes lab, where did we place the thermometer?

IrinaK [193]

The thermometer must be <u>in contact with the ice/water only</u>

Explanation:

In this experiment in the lab, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water.

The specific latent heat of fusion of a substance is the amount of heat energy required to completely melt a certain amount of the substance, mathematically:

$\lambda = \frac{Q}{m}$

where

Q is the heat supplied to the substance

m is the mass of the substance

In this experiment, the aim is to measure the specific latent heat of fusion of water. In order to do that, a mix of ice/water is heated with a certain amount of heat Q, and then it is evaluated the amount of mass m that undergoes melting.

An important precaution that must be taken in this experiment is that the temperature of the water/ice mixture remains constant and equal to the melting point of ice (otherwise, part of the heat supplied to the mixture is used to increase the temperature of the water, resulting in an inaccurate measure of Q). Therefore, a thermometer must be used to check constantly the temperature, and this thermometer must be placed inside the ice/water mixture only (It should not touch the saucepan, whose temperature can be higher).

So, the correct answer is

in contact with the ice/water only

If irons temperature goes from 50c to 75c in a 20g sample, how many joules of heat were used?

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Option D. 230 J

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the temperature change of the iron. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 50 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 75 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 75 – 50

ΔT = 25 °C

Thus, the temperature change of the iron is 25 °C.

Finally, we shall determine the amount of heat energy used. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (M) = 20 g

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 25 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.46 J/gºC

Heat (Q) =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 20 × 0.46 × 25

Q = 230 J

Thus, the amount of heat used was 230 J
