When radium-226 (atomic number-88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
topjm [15]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

d. Radon-222

Explanation:

²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn  + ⁴₂He

Alpha particle is a helium nucleus with mass number 4 and atomic number 2. According to the law of conversation of mass, the sum of the mass number and atomic number must be equal on both side of the reaction.  

Since the mass number of Ra is 226 and that of He is 4. The mass number of the unknown element must be 226 - 4 = 222.  

Since the atomic number of Ra is 88 and that of He is 2. The atomic number of the unknown element must be 88 - 2 = 86.  

Now looking in the periodic table Radon is the only element with atomic number 86.

What is the conjugate acid in the following equation hbr + H2O yields h30 positive + BR negative
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

HBr + H2O = H3O+ + Br-

So our conjugate acid is the H3O+ to H2O

Explanation:

A conjugate acid of a base results when the base accepts a proton.

Consider ammonia reacting with water to form an equilibrium with ammonium ions and hydroxide ions:

NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq)

Ammonium, NH4+, acts as a conjugate acid to ammonia, NH3.

Which element has a 4s sublevel with 2 electrons for its outermost electrons.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Hi!

So, the best way to solve this is with a period table with all of the sublevels labeled. (check below)

So the s sublevel starts at 1s which is Hydrogen. If you go down 4 rows, or periods, you get to sublevels 4s. As you should know, as you go across groups/columns, the valence electrons get higher. So the element that you are looking for has 2 valence electrons. So, the element you are looking for should be 4 down and 1 right of Hydrogen which is: Calcium

Which statement is true about crystal lattice energy
Arturiano [62]
Hey there!:

1) The additional stability that accompanies the formation of the network<span>Crystalline is measured as network enthalpy. 
</span>2) The reticular energy is the energy released when the solid Crystal isform from separate ions in the gaseous state. Always exothermic.<span>
3) </span>The enthalpy of the network depends directly on the size of the loads and conversely in the distance between the ions .
