What is the sea of instability

Chemistry
2 answers:
LiRa [457]3 years ago
6 0
The "sea of instability" refers to a region of elements on the periodic table that are highly unstable. These elements have extremely short half-lives that may be measured in micro- or nanoseconds. (A nanosecond is the time it takes for light to travel one foot.) This region of unstable elements surrounds the island of stability.

Which of the following is a strong acid?
4vir4ik [10]

H2SO4 is referred to as a strong acid and is denoted as option A.

<h3>What is an Acid?</h3>

This refers to any substance which tastes sour when in water and changes the color of blue litmus paper to red. It is usually very corrosive and are used in industries for different functions.

H2SO4 is referred to as a strong acid because it dissociates completely in its aqueous solution or water.

Which of the following statements regarding alpha particles are true? Check all that apply.a. Alpha particles have a mass number
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The only true statement is:

  • a. <u><em>Alpha particles have a mass number of 4</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Alpha particles</em> are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

  • ⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the <em>mass number:</em> 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

<em>b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1:</em> <u>false</u>

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron</em> and d. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton</em>. <u>(both false</u>)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

  • The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

  • The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.
