Why are some isotopes radioactive and some are not?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: there are atoms that either have too many or too few neutrons or protons in their nuclei. This results in an imbalance between the jedi forces holding them together, which leads to an excess of internal energy. Such atoms are said to be unstable or radioactive.

Silicon Tetrachloride is reacted with very pure magnesium, producing silicon and magnesium chloride. (What would be the unbalanc

raketka [301]

Pure magnesium's formula would just be Mg because all elements except for 7 nonmetals are just left alone when they are by themselves in a formula. The 7 diatomic elements( means they have to have two of them without another element attached to it aka. a subscript two after it when it's by itself) are hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine. An easy way to remember the diatomic seven is that when looking at a periodic table if you trace over them from nitrogen over to fluorine and down to iodine all of those elements are diatomic + hydrogen.

And your unbalanced and balanced equations are correct.

(sorry I went on a tangent with the diatomic rules hopefully it will help you in the future though)

The electrolysis of water forms H2 and O2. 2H2O Right arrow. 2H2 O2 What is the percent yield of O2 if 10.2 g of O2 is produced

Mama L [17]

Answer:

67.5%

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the electrolysis of water

2 H₂O ⇒ 2 H₂ + O₂

Step 2: Calculate the theoretical yield of O₂ from 17.0 g of H₂O

According to the balanced equation, the mass ratio of H₂O to O₂ is 36.04:32.00.

17.0 g H₂O × 32.00 g O₂/36.04 g H₂O = 15.1 g O₂

Step 3: Calculate the percent yield of O₂

Given the experimental yield of O₂ is 10.2 g, we can calculate its percent yield using the following expression.

%yield = (exp yield / theoret yield) × 100%

%yield = (10.2 g / 15.1 g) × 100% = 67.5%

Consider the following four structures: What is the relationship of I and II? What is the relationship of I and III? What is the

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The different structures are shown in the attachment.

I and II - structural isomers

I and III - Structural isomers

I and IV - structural isomers

II and III - structural isomers

II and IV - structural isomers

III and IV - stereoisomers

Explanation:

The knowledge of Isomerism is tested here; there are two types of isomerism ; structural and stereoisomerism.

Structural Isomers have similar molecular and different double bond positioning, these occurs mostly in ALKENE FAMILY.

Stereo-isomers have the same molecular formular and similar patterns but differ in their spatial arrangement. trans and cis are typical examples of stereo-isomers.

From the question; Relationship between I and II is that they are structural isomers since they have the same molecular formula, but different bond atom arrangement and infact they are the same compound.

Relationship between I and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but differ in the double bond position.

Relationship between I and IV is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formula but different double bond arrangement.

Relationship between II and III is that they are structural isomers with similar molecular formular but different double bond position

Relationship between II and IV is that they are also structural isomers with the same molecular formular but different double bond position.

Relationship between III and IV is that they are stereo-isomers with same molecular formula but different spatial arrangement, hence cis and trans.
