Why are some isotopes radioactive and some are not?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Otrada [13]2 years ago
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.

Explain why the Amazon River does not create deltas?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The ocean currents are too strong by the Amazon River to form deltas.

Explanation:

The Atlantic has sufficient wave and tidal energy to carry most of the Amazon's sediments out to sea, thus the Amazon does not form a true delta. The great deltas of the world are all in relatively protected bodies of water, while the Amazon empties directly into the turbulent Atlantic.

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.
nataly862011 [7]
<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

An unknown triprotic acid (H3A) is titrated with NaOH. After the titration Ka1 is determined to be 0.0013 and Ka2 is determined
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

6.68 X 10^-11

Explanation:

From the second Ka, you can calculate pKa = -log (Ka2) = 6.187

The pH at the second equivalence point (8.181) will be the average of pKa2  and pKa3. So,

8.181 = (6.187 + pKa3) / 2

Solving gives pKa3 = 10.175, and Ka3 = 10^-pKa3 = 6.68 X 10^-11

If the two atoms participating in a bond have an electron negativity difference of 1.9 , what type of of bond would they be part
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

When the bond is formed between the atoms by sharing the electrons the bond thus have covalent character.   The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.  When the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.

When bonded atoms have greater electronegativity difference i.e 2 or greater than two the bond is ionic because electron is transfer from low electronegative atom to highest electronegative atom.

For example:

In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.

In case of H₂, Cl₂, Br₂ the bond has very high covalent character because of zero electronegativity difference.
