Answer:

X 86 206

Explanation:

Radioactive atoms are nuclei that can under go disintegration to emit either an alpha particle, beta particle or gamma radiation. The process could be spontaneous or stimulated.

When a radioactive atom R 88 210 emits alpha particle, it would produce an element with atomic number 86 and mass number 206 i.e X 86 206. An alpha particle is usually a helium nucleus.

                     R^{210} ⇒ x^{206} + He^{4} + energy

What is the percent by mass of C in benzene (C6H6)? The molecular weight of carbon is 12.0107 g/mol and of hydrogen 1.00794 g/mo
pshichka [43]

Answer:

92.26% of C

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must assume we have 1 mole of benzene. The mole contains 6 moles of C and 6 moles of H. We have to convert these moles to grams in order to find the total mass and mass percent will be:

Mass atom / Total mass * 100

<em>Mass C: </em>6mol C * (12.0107g / mol) = 72.0642g

<em>Mass H: </em>6mol H * (1.00794g / mol) = 6.04764g

<em>total mass: </em>72.0642g + 6.04764g = 78.11184g

Mass percent of C will be:

72.0642g C / 78.11184g* 100

<h3>92.26% of C</h3>

A specific amount of energy is emitted when excited electrons in an atom in a sample of an element return to the ground state.Th
lubasha [3.4K]
The answer is C. The specific amount of energy emitted when electrons jump from excited states to the ground state refers to emission spectrum. The energy is emitted in the form of photons, and the photons have very specific wavelengths (energy) that correspond to the energy gaps between the excited states and the ground state. The specific wavelengths of light emitted are referred to as the "emission spectrum," and each element produces a different emission spectrum. Thus, this emitted energy can be used to identify the element from which your sample was taken.
