What does X represent for this transmutation?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dimas [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

 24He

Explanation:

When a nuclide is bombarded with alpha particles, we notice an increase in its mass and charge since an alpha particle has a mass of four and a charge of +2. recall that nuclear equations must be balanced. That is, the masses and charges on the left hand six and the right hand side of the nuclear reaction equation must be exactly the same.

Looking at the nuclear reaction at hand, the total mass on the left hand side has to be 246 while the total charge on the left hand side of the equation will be 98. Coming over to the right hand side, the total masses are also found to be the same as a neutron with no charge and a mass of 1 is produced. Hence the nuclear reaction equation is balanced when an alpha particle (helium nucleus) is substituted for X in the equation.

What made Mendeleev certain that he should leave gaps in his table?
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Mendeleev left gaps in his periodic table because he knew that these elements existed, but had not yet been discovered. He believed that the elements would be eventually found and would fit perfectly into the gaps. Two such elements are Germanium and Gallium.

Heliocentric and Geocentric
bulgar [2K]

Explanation:

heliocentric means having the sun in the middle/center in the solar system

geocentric means having the earth in the middle/center in the solar system

therefore your answers are:

the planets orbit the sun.

in 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus proposed the theory.

the evidence that led people to believe this was when Galileo observed that four moons orbited around Jupiter. in other words, heliocentric.

most of the stars are located in the milky way galaxy.

What is Avogadro's number, and why is it useful?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Substance are consist of very large number of atoms, ions , molecules etc.

They can not be count in a simple way. Scientist used Avogadro number to express the large number of atoms, ions, molecules.

Avogadro number:

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

96.06 g of SO₄²⁻ ion = 1 mole of SO₄²⁻ ion = 6.022 × 10²³ ions of SO₄²⁻
