slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For A:</u> The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

<u>For B:</u> The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

<u>For C:</u> The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

<u>For A:</u> Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

<u>For B:</u> Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

<u>For C:</u> Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explain how you were able to use your knowledge of how different types of blood react with anti A, anti B, and anti Rh antibodie

dybincka [34]

Depending upon the clumping reaction with anti A , anti B and anti Rh antibodies the blood types are determined.

Explanation:

Agglutination (clumping) will occur when blood that contains the particular antigen is mixed with the particular antibody.

A+ have Agglutination with Anti-A ,Anti-Rh and No agglutination with Anti-B.

A- have Agglutination with Anti-A and No agglutination with Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

B+ have Agglutination with Anti-B Anti-Rh and No agglutination with Anti-A.

B- have Agglutination with Anti-B and No agglutination with Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

Rh+ have Agglutination with Anti-A and Anti-Rh and No agglutination with Anti-B.

Rh- have No Agglutination with Anti-A and Anti-B and Anti-Rh.

What is the maximum possible number of electrons in a ground-state carbon atom that have ml = 0?

juin [17]

Ground state means 1s which can hold 2 electrons.
l for 1s is = 0
ml = 0 (given)
possible values of m = 0
so it can hold maximum of 2 electrons. One spin up and other spin down.
