C it is combining the nuclei to become bigger
alex41 [277]3 years ago

Answer:

c) joining of small nuclei to produce bigger nuclei

Explanation:

Hi, the combination of to elements with small nucleus to create a new one with a bigger nucleous is the definition of nuclear fusion.

Also, <u>options A and D are descriptions of chemical</u> reactions: the sharing of electrons and bonds.

The splitting of a big nucleous to generate smaller ones is called nuclear fision

NikAS [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

<u>Answer:</u>

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is ns^{1-2}

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is np^{1-6}

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is [(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]. They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

  • <u>Option 1:</u> Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 2:</u> Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

  • <u>Option 3:</u> In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^25p^1

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 4:</u> Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

  • <u>Option 5:</u> As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^3

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

  • <u>Option 6:</u> Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]4s^24p^4

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

  • <u>Option 7:</u> Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Which statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is correct? (1 point)
iris [78.8K]

The true statement about the balanced equations for nuclear and chemical changes is; both are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

A basic law in science is called the law of conservation of mass. Its general statement is that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.

Both in chemical and nuclear changes, mass is involved and in both cases, the law of conservation of mass strictly applies.

This means that for both chemical and nuclear changes; total mass before reaction must be equal to total mass after reaction.

Hence, both reactions are balanced according to the total mass before and after the change.

What’s the distance from the nucleus of an atom to its theoretical outer edge of electron orbits
ollegr [7]

Answer:

The range of atoms = (30-300 pm) depending upon the element

Explanation:

The Atomic radii of the atom is the distance from the center of the circle to the outermost orbital.

The center of the circle is the nucleus and the radii is the outermost boundary.

The actual size of the atom is decided on the basis of the Zeff . Also known as <em>effective nuclear charge.</em>

<em>Zeff: It is the net positive charge felt by the outermost electron by the nucleus.</em>

<em>The value of Zeff depends upon the shielding constant. More the shielding less will be the Zeff . Hence the size of the atom increases.</em>

Due to shielding the outermost electrons feel less pull of nucleus.

<em>The greater the Zeff , the smaller the radius of the atom.</em>

The formula used to calculate the atomic mass is :

r_{n}=\frac{52.9n^{2}}{Z}pm

Here "pm"= picometers

1 pm = 10^{-12}m

<u>The size of the smallest atom H-atom = 120 pm</u>

<u>The range of atoms = (30-300 pm)</u>
