If you are given a diagram of an atom, how would you identify what element it is?

1 answer:

7 0

The simplest way to use the periodic table to identify an element is by looking for the element's name or elemental symbol. The periodic table can be used to identify an element by looking for the element's atomic number. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons found within the atoms of that element.

<h3>What is Beta emission?</h3>

This is also known as beta decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

The element formed during the beta emission of strontium is referred to as Yttrium.

Sodium-25 was to be used in an experiment, but it took 3.0 minutes to get the sodium from the reactor to the laboratory. If 8.0

Ksenya-84 [330]

Sodium-25 after 3 minutes : 1.0625 mg

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

General formulas used in decay:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{N_t=N_0(\dfrac{1}{2})^{t/t\frac{1}{2} }}}$

T = duration of decay

t 1/2 = half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

<h3 />

No=8 mg

t1/2=60 s

T=3 min=180 s

$\tt Nt=No\dfrac{1}{2}^{T/t1/2}\\\\Nt=8.5\dfrac{1}{2}^{180/60}\\\\Nt=8.5(\dfrac{1}{2})^3\\\\Nt=1.0625~mg$

Part complete When a 235 92U nucleus is bombarded by neutrons (10n) it undergoes a fission reaction, resulting in the formation

nikdorinn [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fission reactions are defined as the reactions in which a heavier nuclei breaks down in two or more smaller nuclei.

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Ba}+^{94}_{36}\textrm{Kr}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 94 + 3

A = 139

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 36 + 0

Z = 56

The isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{139}\textrm{Ba}$

For the given fission reaction:

$^{235}_{92}\textrm{U}+^1_0\textrm{n}\rightarrow ^A_Z\textrm{Sr}+^{143}_{54}\textrm{Xe}+3^1_0\textrm{n}$

<u>To calculate A:</u>

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

235 + 1 = A + 143 + 3

A = 90

<u>To calculate Z:</u>

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

92 + 0 = Z + 54 + 0

Z = 38

The isotopic symbol of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$

Hence, the isotopic symbol of barium is $_{56}^{138}\textrm{Ba}$ and that of strontium is $_{38}^{89}\textrm{Sr}$
