Which of the following nuclei would be the most stable?

Chemistry

Ten protons would be Neon, but the most stable? I'd have to say 12 neutrons in contrast to the 10 protons.  Not too negative in balance.

The Half-Life of Pa-234 is 6.75 hours. How much (what fraction) of a sample of this isotope remains after 20.25 hours?
Grace [21]
So in one hour half the amount remains (that's what half life means). In two hours 1/4 (or half of half) would remain and in three hours 1/8 would remain.
So the answer is 1/8

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion
DanielleElmas [232]
The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons. 

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

Given the balanced equation below, calculate the moles of aluminum that are needed to react completely with 28.7 moles of FeO. Y
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of FeO = 28.7 mol

Moles of Al needed to react with FeO = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Al + 3FeO → 3Fe + Al₂O₃

Now we will compare the moles of Al with FeO.

                            FeO        :           Al

                             2            :            3

                          28.7          :         3/2×28.7 = 43.05 mol

Thus 43.05 moles of Al needed to react with 28.7 moles of FeO.
