Non-ferromagnetic materials tend to have ______ electrons in each orbital

Chemistry

Fittoniya [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Non-ferromagnetic materials tend to have <em>paired</em> electrons in each orbital.

Explanation:

The non ferromagnetic materials have all paired electrons in each orbital, or a small number of unpaired electrons.

This can be justified given that the pairing of electrons with opisite spins (one with -1/2 and the other with +1/2)  counteracts the magnetic properties that the element could have.

<span>Non-ferromagnetic materials tend to have paired electrons in each orbital or very less unpaired electrons.

Example - Neon, its atomic number is 10 and all the electrons are pared. Now, Aluminum. Its atomic number is 13 with the electronic configuration 3</span>p^{1}<span> i.e. only one unpaired electron in the p- orbital. Now, consider iron its atomic number is 26 and its configuration is 3</span>d^{6}. It has more number of unpaired electrons.  Thus, neon is non-magnetic, aluminum is also non-magnetic but iron is magnetic.

Answer:

Here's what I find.

Explanation:

Iodine-131

Iodine-131 is both a beta emitter and a gamma emitter.

_{53}^{131}\text{I}\longrightarrow \, _{54}^{131}\text{Xe} +\, _{-1}^{0}\text{e} +\, _{0}^{0}\gamma

About 90 % of the energy is β-radiation and 10 % is γ-radiation. Both forms are highly energetic.

The main danger is from ingestion. The iodine concentrates in thyroid gland, where the β-radiation destroys cells up to 2 mm from the tissues that absorbed it.

Both the β- and γ-radiation cause cell mutations that can later become cancerous. Small doses, such as those absorbed from the nuclear disasters in the Ukraine and Japan, can cause cancers years after the original iodine has disappeared.

Plutonium-239

Plutonium-239 is an alpha emitter.

_{94}^{239}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{92}^{235}\text{Xe} + \, _{2}^{4}\text{He}

Alpha particles cannot penetrate the skin, so external exposure isn't much of a health risk.

However, they are extremely dangerous when they are inhaled and get inside cells. They travel first to the blood or lymph system and later to the bone marrow and liver, where they cause up to 1000 times more chromosomal damage than beta or gamma rays.

It takes about 20 years for plutonium to be eliminated from the liver around 50 years for from the skeleton, so it has a long time to cause damage.

xeze [42]

Answer:0.1677M

Explanation:

Molarity=moles/volume

Number of moles =mass/molar mass

Once you get the number of moles, you apply it to the molarity formula.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

higher, higher

Explanation:

It takes more energy to rip apart stronger bonds (that's mostly just common sense there). The boiling point increases because it would take more energy to get the molecules to go from a stuck together liquid, to separating in a gaseous form.
