HACTEHA [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The electronic configuration uses the principle of the K,L,M,N shells to arrange electrons in the shells of elements. The K shell which is the first shell can only accommodate two electrons while the rest shells can accommodate a maximum of 8 electrons. Metals and nonmetals have atomic numbers which tells us the amount of electrons they contain in their neutral state.

For example the metal  Sodium (Na) has an atomic number of 11.The electronic configuration will be; 2,8,1 .

The non metal Chlorine has an atomic number of 17. The electron configuration will be 2,8,7

The valence shell refers to the last shell of an atom.

We can see from the electronic configurations that sodium has 1 electron in its valence shell, while chlorine has 7 electrons in its valence shell. Generally non-metals gain electrons because of the large number of electrons in their valence shell and metals lose electrons due to the fewer number of electrons in their valence shell

An experimental spacecraft consumes a special fuel at a rate of 372 L/min. The density of the fuel is 0.730 g/mL and the standar
Karolina [17]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate fuel consumption is as follows.

         372 L/min \times 1000 ml/L \times 0.730 g/ml \times \frac{1}{60} min/s

           = 4526 g/s

Now, we will calculate the power as follows.

        Power = Fuel consumption rate × -enthalpy of combustion

                    = 4526 g/s \times -26.5 kJ/g

                    = 1.19 \times 10^{5} kW

Thus, we can conclude that maximum power (in units of kilowatts) that can be produced by this spacecraft is 1.19 \times 10^{5} kW.

Suppose Highlinium-308 can also undergo positron emission
____ [38]

Answer:

The atomic number of burienium will be 307.

Explanation:

During positron emission proton is converted into the neutron and one electron neutrino with positron is released. It means the atomic number will be reduce by one and atomic mass remain same.

For example:

²³Mg₁₂    →     ₁₁Na²³+ e⁺+ Ve

Similarly, when highlinium-308 undergoes positron emission the new element burienium is produced and the atomic number will be 307 while atomic mass remain same.

Properties of beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

When water vapor changes to a liquid what is it called
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

hello \: your \: answer \: is \: here.

Explanation:

<h2>Condensation is the change of water from its gaseous form (water vapor) into liquid water. Condensation generally occurs in the atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and looses its capacity to hold water vapor. As a result, excess water vapor condenses to form cloud droplets.</h2>
