Explanation:
The molecules of solids are shrinked in there normal state . but as a heat energy is produced , the molecules starts curating fast and fast as temperature goes up . since they vibrate , they hit and collide each other breaking the bondings this increases the surface of area of the solid , and molecules consumes that space and they expand .
Answer:
Molar mass of Ca = 40 g / mol , given 123 g Ca is 123/40= 3.075 moles,
1 mole = 6.022 * 10^23 atoms, so 3.075 moles Ca= 18.51*10^23 atoms
Explanation:
Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.

Explanation:
The use of Uranium - 234 to generate electricity depends on a fission reaction. The uranium nuclide is bombarded by fast moving neutrons leading to a chain reaction. Control rods and moderators are used to keep the nuclear reaction under control.
As the nuclear reaction proceeds, heat is generated and steam is consequently produced. This steam is used to turn a turbine and electricity is thereby generated.
Answer: 2 (2 neutrons are produced).
Explanation:
1) In the left side of the transmutation equationa appears:
²³⁵U + ¹n →
I am omitting the atomic number (subscript to the leff) because the question does not show them as it is focused on number of neutrons.
2) The right side of the transmutation equation has:
→ ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + ?
3) The total mass number of the left side is 235 + 1 = 236
4) The total mass number of Ce and Sr on the right side is 144 + 90 = 234
5) Then, you are lacking 236 - 234 = 2 unit masses on the right side which are the 2 neutrons that are produced along with the Ce and Sr.
The complete final equation is:
²³⁵U + ¹n → ¹⁴⁴Ce + ⁹⁰Sr + 2 ¹n
Where you have the two neutrons produced.
