Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
True
Explanation:
If you look closley at the nucleus, you don't count the neutrons just the prtons which then effect the electrons.
Good luck :)
Answer:
2NO(g) + O2(g) --> 2NO2(g)
now 400 ml of NO × 2 mol of NO2/2 mol of NO
= 400 ml of NO2
now 500 ml of O2 × 2 mol of NO2/1 mol of O2
= 1000 ml of NO2
now 400 ml of NO2 × 1 mol of O2/2 mol of NO
= 200 ml
subtract that from 500 ml of total i.e. 500-200 =300 ml
The total volume of the reaction mixture is 1000 ml -300ml = 700 ml
C is the correct answer (CaF2) (sorry dont have subscript)
Explanation: synthesis reaction forms a compound and calcium reacting with fluorine produces Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) chemical name
