What is the most likely decay for the fe-53 nucleus?

1 answer:

7 0

The element number of Fe is 26, which means that the number of neutrons of the following isotopes is:

53-Fe: 27 
54-Fe: 28 
56-Fe: 30 
57-Fe: 31 
58-Fe: 32 
59-Fe: 33 

Because 53-Fe has too few neutrons when compared to the other isotopes we can rule out any decay that involves losing a neutron: (alpha decay, beta decay) So, this isotope will prefer to decay by electron capture or positron emission (assuming the system has about 1 MeV to spare), but in each case the product will be the same: 53-Mn (long-lived radioisotope).

What electron could have quantum numbers n = 2, l = 1, ml = 0, ms = +?

MrMuchimi

Answer is: electron in 2pz orbital.

The principal quantum number is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state, n=1,2,3... n=2 - the second energy level.
The azimuthal quantum number is a quantum number for an atomic orbital that determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital. l = 0,1...n-1, when l = 1, that is p subshell.

The magnetic quantum number, ml, show orbital in which the electron is located, ml = -l...+l, ml = 0 is pz orbital.

The spin quantum number, ms, is the spin of the electron; ms = +1/2 or -1/2.

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of ethanol:

 ${ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \: \: \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C} > \: \:CH _{3} CHO}}$ 

 ${ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \: \: is \: ethanal}}$ 

By ozonolysis:

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

Name the process by which the ammonia and hydrogen Chlorade gass nove in the tube-

____ [38]

Explanation: Process is diffusion. The gas molecules follow a zig-zag path through the tube as they collide with the air molecules in the tube. The purpose of the glass tube is to eliminate air currents and to see if the gas molecules will move on their own.
