Answer:

A)  ⁴He₂

Explanation:

²³⁸U₉₂ → ²³⁴Th₉₀ + A

To obtain the missing element (A), we have to first find it's atomic and mass numbers.

The mass number is the sum total of the protons and neutrons in an atom. It is usually equal to the superscript in an atom. for example in ²³⁸U₉₂ the mass number is 238.

The atomic number is the total of the protons in an atom. It is usually equal to the subscript in an atom. for example in ²³⁸U₉₂ the atomic number is 92.

In a chemical eqation, there's conservation of mass.

With this, mass number of products = mass number of reactants. same thing for the atomic number.

Mass number of Product = 238

Mass number of Reactant = 234 + x

238 = 234 + x

x = 238 - 234 = 4

Atomic number of product = 92

Atomic number of reactant = 90 + y

92 = 90 + y

y =  92 -90 = 2

So the atomic number of the missing element is 2 and its mass number is 4.  ⁴A₂.

Among the elements, the only match is  ⁴He₂. So the correct option is A

<span>A. Missing part is ⁴He₂

You can also calculate it by adding/subtracting for atomic mass & atomic numbers

Hope this helps!

What do the elements within a "period" have in common? (pick one)
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

All of the elements in a period have the same number of atomic orbitals. For example, every element in the top row (the first period) has one orbital for its electrons. All of the elements in the second row (the second period) have two orbitals for their electrons.

Which statement best describes the collisions of gas particles according to the kinetic-molecular theory?
erastovalidia [21]
<span>The statement best describes the collisions of gas particles according to the kinetic-molecular theory is that the collisions of gas particles in an ideal gas are completely elastic. An expansion in the quantity of gas particles in the holder expands the recurrence of impacts with the dividers and in this manner the weight of the gas. The last propose of the motor sub-atomic hypothesis expresses that the normal active vitality of a gas molecule depends just on the temperature of the gas.</span>
