1 . a chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between ions covalent bond
liberstina [14]

Explanation:

When there occurs sharing of electrons between two chemically combining atoms then it forms a covalent bond. Generally, a covalent bond is formed between two non-metals.

An ionic bond is defined as the bond formed due to transfer of one or more number of electrons from one atom to another. An ionic bond is always formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Every atom of an element will have orbitals in which electrons are found. These orbitals are known as energy level.

A molecule is defined as the smallest particle present in a substance or atom.

A metallic bond is formed due to mobile valence electrons shared by positive nuclei in a metallic crystal.

Thus, we can conclude that given statements are correctly matched as follows.

1).  a chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between ions - ionic bond

2).  a chemical bond formed by two electrons that are shared between two atoms - covalent bond

3). the orbitals of an atom where electrons are found - energy level

4).  the smallest particle of a covalently bonded substance - molecule

5).  a bond characteristic of metals in which mobile valence electrons are shared among positive nuclei in the metallic crystal - metallic bond

Why does nitrogen have stronger attractive forces between its nucleus and valence electrons than phosphorus?
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Nitrogen atom is small in size than phosphorus thus the bond between its nucleus and valence electrons are stronger than phosphorus.

A breeder nuclear reactor is a reactor in which nonfissile U-238 is converted into fissile Pu-239. The process involves bombardm
VARVARA [1.3K]

<u>Answer:</u> The nuclear equations for the given process is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the bombardment of neutron to U-238 isotope follows:

_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}+n\rightarrow _{92}^{239}\textrm{U}

Beta decay is defined as the process in which neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the first beta decay process of _{92}^{239}\textrm{U} follows:

_{92}^{239}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical equation for the second beta decay process of _{93}^{239}\textrm{Np} follows:

_{93}^{239}\textrm{Np}\rightarrow _{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}+_{-1}^0\beta

Hence, the nuclear equations for the given process is written above.
