Answer : The correct option is, Chain reaction.

Explanation :

Transmutation : It is defined as the process where a nucleus is converted to another nucleus. Or we can say that the conversion of chemical elements into another.

Nuclear fusion : It is a process where the two small nuclei converted to form a heavy nuclei and release some energy.

Nuclear fission : It is a process where a heavier nuclei (unstable nuclei) converted into two or more small (stable nuclei) and release some energy.

Critical mass : It is the smallest mass of substance that will start a chain reaction in a nuclear reactor.

Chain reaction : It is a independent series of the reactions. The nuclear fission of uranium are the example of chain reaction.

In fission of uranium nucleus, three neutrons are produced. Then these fast moving neutrons undergo successive collision with the other uranium nuclei.

As more and more nuclei are decomposes by the neutrons, more and more neutrons are produced and an uncontrolled fission process is started which is known as chain reaction.

Hence, an ongoing series of fission reactions is called a, chain reaction.

According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?
Aneli [31]
The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

An element with the valence electron configuration 4s24p4 would form a monatomic ion with a charge of fill in the blank 5 . In o
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Charge= -2.

Gains two electron into the 4p^4 to become 4p^6.

Explanation:

The element in the periodic table/chart that matches with the valence electron configuration is Selenium with full electron configuration of [Ar] 3d^10 4s^2 4P^4 which is a non-metal that is found in group 4 of the periodic table/chart.

Selenium can receive 2 more electrons on the 4p^4 to give a -2(minus 2) ion that is Se^2-.

Selenium can also loose 2 electron from 4s^2 to give a +2 ion that is Se^2+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 2 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^4+.

Selenium can also loose 2 electrons from 4s^2 and 4 electrons from 4p^4 to form Se^6+.

Thus, in order to form a monatomic ion with a charge(we will be making use of the most stable one). Thus, it will gain two more electron since this is easier to become 4s^2 4p^6.

29. If a walnut is burned in a
harkovskaia [24]

Energy were released from the walnut, q = 1,673.6 J

<h3>Equation :</h3>

To find the energy using formula,

q = mcΔt

where,

q is charge

m is mass

c is specific heat of water

Δt is change in temperature

So, given

t₁ = 50°C

t₂ = 60°C

m = 40g

c = 4.184 J/g

Now putting the values known,

We get,

q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

q = 40g x 4.184 J/g x  (60 - 50)

q = 167.36 J x 10

q = 1,673.6 J

<h3>What is heat energy?</h3>

Heat is the thermal energy that is transferred when two systems with different surface temperatures come into contact. Heat is denoted by the letters q or Q and is measured in Joules.

To know more about specific heat :

Find the % by mass of the solute in 129.54 g C6H1206 in 525 g H20.
belka [17]

Answer:

19.79%

Explanation:

mass % = (mass solute / total mass) * 100

total mass = 129.54 + 525 = 654.54

solute = C6H12O6

(129.54/654.54) = .1979

.1979 * 100 = 19.79%

When polonium-210 emits an alpha particle, the child isotope has an atomic mass of
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The child isotope has an atomic mass of 206.

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\alpha

_{84}^{210}\textrm{Po}\rightarrow_{82}^{206}\textrm{Pb}+_2^4\textrm{He}
