How many electrons in an atom can have each of the following quantum number or sublevel designations?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: a:6 electrons, b:10electrons, c: 2electrons

Explanation:

1.Principle quantum number(n)

n is the number of shell, it is a positive integer. The maximum number of electrons in a shell is 2(n2)

2.Azimuthal quantum number(l)

l is the number of subshell in the principal shell

The name of subshell are s, p, d, f

The number of nodes in each subshell is

s is l=0, p is l=1, d is l=2, f is l=3.

Each shell can have 2 x l + 1 sublevels, and each sublevel can accommodate maximum of 2 electrons and have two electrons.

A. n=2, l=1 then 2 x 1 + 1= 3 subshell, 3*2= 6 electrons in the p subshell

b. 3d, d is l = 2 then 2 x 2 + 1 = 5 sublevels, 5*2=10 electrons in the d subshell

c. 4s, s is l=0 then 2 x 0 + 1 = 1 sublevel, 1*2=2 electrons in the s subshell.

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi
erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Is the following nuclear equation balanced?<br> 237 Np - He+233 AM
Flura [38]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Np²³⁷   →  He⁴ + Am²³³

The given nuclear equation is balanced. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and Am²³³.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy
