Technetium-99m, a “metastable” nuclide of

1 answer:

4 0

In beta decay, a neutron is transformed into a proton via emission of an electron. This means that the total nucleon number remains the same; however, the proton number is increased by one (and the neutron number decreases by one). Therefore, the parent atom must also have mass number 99 but be of one less atomic number.
The atomic number of Tc is 43 and proton number 42 is Mo. Therefore, the answer is:
99Mo

What specifically determines how much energy is available in a molecular

HACTEHA [7]

C The number and types of bonds within the molecule.

Explanation:

In a molecule, the number and types of bonds present determines the amount of available energy therein.

When bonds are broken or formed, energy is usually released.

Elements combine with one another in order to attain stability in this state.
Through this process, they form bonds by attraction.
Where atoms exchange their valence electrons by losing or gaining it, electrovalent bonds form.
In covalent molecules, electrons are usually shared between atoms.
An attraction result from this type of interaction.
The bond formed stores energy in the process.
When bonds are broken, energy is usually released. The energy accrues when the bond was being formed.
In molecules, we have covalent bond.

The alkali earth metal beryllium (Be) engages in a chemical reaction and loses all of its valence electrons.

denpristay [2]

The loss of electron from an results in the formation of cation represented by the positive charge on the element whereas gaining of electron results in the formation of anion represented by the negative charge on the element.

The alkali earth metal beryllium ( $Be$ ) belongs to the second group of the periodic table. The ground state electronic configuration of $Be$ is: $1s^{2}2s^{2}$

From the electronic configuration it is clear that it has 2 valence electrons in its valence shell ( $2s^{2}$ ).

After losing all valence electrons that is 2 electrons from $2s$ orbital. The electronic configuration will be:

$1s^{2}2s^{0}$

Since, lose of electron is represented by positive charge on the element symbol. So, the beryllium will have +2 charge on its symbol as $Be^{2+}$ .

Hence, beryllium will have 2+ charge on it after losing all its valence electrons in the chemical reaction.

Which one of the following compounds will be least soluble in water?

algol [13]

Water is a polar solvent. Since, 'Like dissolves like' a polar compound will be most soluble in water whereas a non-polar compound will be the least soluble.

The increasing order of polarity for the given organic compounds is:-

CH3OCH3 < CH3NH2 < CH3CHO < CH3CH2OH

Ether is the least polar and hence least soluble in water.
