Here’s a simplified explanation.
The <em>protons</em> in the nucleus <em>repel each other</em>. The <em>neutrons provide the “glue”</em> that holds the nucleus together and prevents it from flying apart.
The “glue” is the strong nuclear force. It is strong but extremely short range. It falls off extremely rapidly as the p-n distance increases.
A <em>neon atom</em> has 10 protons. There are three stable isotopes, with 10, 11, and 12 neutrons.
With fewer than 10 protons, the glue is not strong enough to hold the nucleus together.
If there are more than 12 neutrons, the average p-n distance is great enough that the glue has again become too weak.
<em>Gold</em> has one stable isotope. It contains 79 protons and 118 neutrons.
If there are fewer than 118 neutrons, the proton repulsions will be too strong for the strong force. If there are more than 118 neutrons, the average p-n distance will be large enough that the glue will again be too weak to hold the nucleus toge
ther.
Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you.
Hey there!
No of hybrid orbitals , H = ( V +S - C + A ) / 2
Where H = no . of hybrid orbitals
V = Valence of the central atom = 5
S = No . of single valency atoms = 4
C = No . of cations = 1
A = No . of anions = 0
For PCl4 +
Plug the values we get H = ( 5+4-1+0) / 2
H = 4 ---> sp3 hybridization
sp3 hybrid orbitals are used by phosphorous in the PCl4+ cations
Answer C
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Oxidation half reaction is written as follows when using using reduction potential chart
example when using copper it is written as follows
CU2+ +2e- --> c(s) +0.34v
oxidasation is the loos of electron hence copper oxidation potential is as follows
cu (s) --> CU2+ +2e -0.34v
