If Uranium-234 decays via alpha emission, what is the likely product of radioactive decay? (U, atomic no. = 92)

An alpha emission is one in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus). Therefore in this reaction, the products of the decay are Helium and another element X. Helium has an atomic mass and atomic number of 4 and 2 respectively, therefore the complete reaction is:

U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + X

Since atomic mass and number must be conserved therefore X = X-230 (90)

U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + X-230 (90)

The element with atomic number of 90 is Thorium. Therefore the other product is Thorium-230 (90).

<span>U-234 (92) ---> He-4 (2) + Th-230 (90)</span>

Answer:

Covalent Bonds

Explanation:

INTERmolecular forces are those that exist between molecules, so you can think of it liek international things taking place between countries. As you are aware, dipoles exist across an entire molecule, so for 2 dipoles to interact, there needs to be 2 molecules. Van der Waals forces also take place between  molecules when there is an uneven distribution of electrons across a molecule, causing a temporary weak dipole. Hydrogen bonding is similar to dipole-dipole forces, but only happen when there is a hydrogen interacting with an atom on another molecule that has a lone pair of electrons.

Covalent bonds, however, are INTRAmolecular, meaning they are present within a molecule. Covalent bonds are the bonds that exist when two atoms, within the same molecule, share electrons so both can have a stable electron configuration.

Naily [24]

Answer:

D) He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.

Explanation:

The coefficient 4 at the beginning of the chemical formula indicates that there are four Ca(ClO3)2 molecules. Think of this as Ca(ClO3)2 × 4. This means that he had to multiply the number of atoms for each element by 4 as well, so he should've ended up with 4 total calcium atoms (which is correct), 8 total chlorine atoms, and and 24 total oxygen atoms. He did not get all these answers because he didn't multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.

Answer:

Answers are bellow.

Explanation:

The element with electron configuration 1s22s22p63s1 belong I A group in the periodic table and it is sodium because it loses one electron.

We have periodic table in attachments.

Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table, because it has a single electron in its outer shell, which it readily donates, creating a positively charged ion—the Na+ cation. Its only stable isotope is 23Na.

The free metal does not occur in nature, and must be prepared from compounds.

It is soft metal, reactive and with a low melting point.
