What is the quantum number set of the ground-state electron that is found in lithium (Li) but not in helium (He)?

1 answer:

3 0

The electron configuration of lithium atom is: $Li:[He]2s^1$

The number "2" is the value of the principal quantum number "n". Letter "s" is associated with the value of secondary quantum number "l" and it is equal to zero. The value of "m" (or magnetic quantum number) is zero too. The quantum number set for the highest energy electron will be (2, 0, 0, 1/2).

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}$

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: $_1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}$

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

antoniya [11.8K]

The balanced chemical reaction:

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O

We are given the amount of the carbon dioxide to be produced. This will be the starting point of our calculations.
