Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.
Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.
Answer:
Elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.
Explanation:
From the information given:
Radius of gold = 144 pm
Its density = 19.32 g/cm³
Assuming the structure is a face-centered cubic structure, we can determine the density of the crystal by using the following:


a = 407 pm
In a unit cell, Volume (V) = a³
V = (407 pm)³
V = 6.74 × 10⁷ pm³
V = 6.74 × 10⁻²³ cm³
Recall that:
Net no. of an atom in an FCC unit cell = 4
Thus;


density d = 19.41 g/cm³
Similarly; For a body-centered cubic structure

where;
r = 144


a = 332.56 pm
In a unit cell, Volume V = a³
V = (332.56 pm)³
V = 3.68 × 10⁷ pm³
V 3.68 × 10⁻²³ cm³
Recall that:
Net no. of atoms in BCC cell = 2
∴


density =17.78 g/cm³
From the two calculate densities, we will realize that the density in the face-centered cubic structure is closer to the given density.
This makes the elemental gold to have a Face-centered cubic structure.
Central "carbon" atom
2 oxygen atoms
held together by "covalent" bonds
has a "1s2 2s2 2px1 2py1 2pz0" electron
geometry
carbon atom is "sp" hybridized
Presuming the arrow is between H20 and CO
On the left there are 2 gas moles.
On the right there are 4 gas moles.
The equilibrium will shift to the side with the most no. He gas moles when pressure is decreased.
Therefore the answer is A, since 4>2.
