Answer:

a) if the solid floats

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the determination of the volume of a solid when submerged in water requires to use an analytical balance to measure the mass, but also it is necessary that the solid sinks in order to completely displace the what in the graduated cylinder which accurately provides the volume of the solid via its scale. Therefore, a draw back is a) if the solid floats since the water is not completely displaced.

Best regards.

Why Group 18 elements on the periodic table rarely form compounds

lawyer [7]

Most elements on group 18 are the Noble Gases. They already have a complete last level with 8 electrones. Actually they can form compounds but only on the lab and they will not even last half a second.

Answer:

Magnesium and calcium belong to the second group i. e. alkaline earth metals. They are known as earth metals because they are extracted from the earth. They are very reactive elements. Their reactivity increases when we go from top to bottom because the outermost electrons goes farther from the nucleus i. e. atomic radius increases so less energy is needed for its removal.

Which isotope will spontaneously decay and emit particles with a charge of +2?

VikaD [51]

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

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

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

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

3) Beta-plus decay: It is a decay process in which a positron is released. The positron released has a mass number of 0 and has a charge of +1.

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

For the given options:

Option 1: This nuclei will undergo beta-plus decay process to form $_{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}$

$_{26}^{53}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}+_{+1}^0\beta$

Option 2: This nuclei will undergo beta-minus decay process to form $_{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}$

$_{79}^{198}\textrm{Au}\rightarrow _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Option 3: This nuclei will undergo a beta minus decay process to form $_{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}$

$_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}\rightarrow _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Option 4: This nuclei will undergo an alpha decay process to form $_{85}^{216}\textrm{At}$

$_{87}^{220}\textrm{Fr}\rightarrow _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}+_2^4\alpha$

Hence, the correct option is 4.
