Alpha particles are helium nuclei. electromagnetic waves. electrons. neutrons.

1 answer:

4 0

Alpha particles are helium nucleus ! so answer is A !

it is made by ionization of helium, when both the electrons are out , then two unit of positive charge is one helium and thus called alpha particle !

2) Which liberates the most energy?

evablogger [386]

Answer: $F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

$F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Which of the following species has the greatest

Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in $Cl^{-}$ is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in $Co^{4+}$ is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in $Fe^{2+}$ is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in $Sc^{2-}$ is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, $Fe^{2+}$ has the greatest number of electrons.

Can you describe the situations when Greek prefixes are used?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Here's what I get

Explanation:

At the introductory level of chemistry, I can think of only two situations when you use Greek prefixes.

They indicate the number of atoms or groups in a molecule when you are naming a compound.

1. Binary covalent compounds

For example, P₂S₅ is diphosphorus pentasulfide.

2. Hydrates

For example, Na₂SO₄·10H₂O is sodium sulfate decahydrate.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? From what I know a chemical change modifies the atoms of an objec

blsea [12.9K]

Physical change: a change in which no new substances are formed. the form of the substance is changed but not it's chemical composition (ice melting, bread toasting)

chemical change: any change that results in the formation of new chemical substances. this type of change modifies molecules and atoms by making and breaking the bonds between atoms! (iron rusting, gas burning)

so basically a physical change just changes the appearance of a substance, but a chemical change changes the makeup on a molecular level. i hope this helps you out!
