<span>Nuclear fission is either a nuclear reaction or radio active decay process in which nucleus (the center) of an atom splits into smaller parts called nuclei. This is an extremely exothermic reaction (i.e a reaction which produces heat) resulting into release of massive amount of energy in the form of heat and sometimes light. The reaction produces much more energy as compared to a similar mass of a conventional fuel, such as Petrol/Kerosene/Petroleum Gas etc. This makes Nuclear fission an extremely dense and at times very destructive source of energy. Some common elements capable of Nuclear fission are Uranium, Plutonium etc. Though in modern days Nuclear Fission are finding application in being a source of energy (such as a Nuclear power plant), but they are also used in destructive format as Nuclear Bombs and it's one of the top most imminent threats to the existence of humanity in future (in the event of a Nuclear war).</span>
Answer:
The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.
Explanation:
Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.
The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.
But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.
So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.
Answer:
Mg²⁺
Explanation:
The electron configuration of Mg is [Ne]3s².
It is easier for Mg to get a complete octet by losing two electrons and exposing the neon core than it is to add eight electrons and get an Ar octet.
The most stable monatomic Mg ion is Mg²⁺.
Answer:
5.06atm
Explanation:
Using the combined gas law equation;
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
Where;
P1 = initial pressure (atm)
P2 = final pressure (atm)
V1 = initial volume (Litres)
V2 = final volume (Litres)
T1 = initial temperature (K)
T2 = final temperature (K)
According to the information provided in this question;
P1 = 1.34 atm
P2 = ?
V1 = 5.48 L
V2 = 1.32 L
T1 = 61 °C = 61 + 273 = 334K
T2 = 31 °C = 31 + 273 = 304K
Using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
1.34 × 5.48/334 = P2 × 1.32/304
7.34/334 = 1.32P2/304
Cross multiply
334 × 1.32P2 = 304 × 7.34
440.88P2 = 2231.36
P2 = 2231.36/440.88
P2 = 5.06
The final pressure is 5.06atm
