Answer:

Molecule

Explanation:

Molecule is defined as the discrete group of atoms that are held together by sharing valence electrons.

This is because two or more atoms is known as a molecule and for electron sharing to occur then there must be a minimum of two atoms which is also known as a molecule present in the sharing process.

238,2U --> 234Th +<br> 90

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

$\\_{2}^{4} \alpha$

Explanation:

In this question, we wish to find the missing nuclei for the equation:

$\\_{92}^{238} U\rightarrow _{90}^{234} Th + _{Z}^{A} X$

In order to find the missing species, we need to use the charge and mass balance law. That is, the mass should be conserved: the total mass on the left-hand side with respect to the arrow should be equal to the total mass on the right-hand side with respect to the arrow:

$238 = 234 + A$

Notice from here that:

$A = 238 - 234 = 4$

So far we know that the mass of X is 4. Similarly, we apply the law of charge conservation. The total charge should be conserved:

$92=90+Z$

From here:

$Z = 92-90=2$

We have a particle:

$\\_{2}^{4} X$

Looking at the periodic table, an atom with Z = 2 corresponds to helium. This can also be written as an alpha particle:

$\\_{2}^{4} \alpha$

Find the no. Of electron involved in the electro deposition of 63.5g of cu from a solution of cuso4

sp2606 [1]

This is a redox reaction, meaning reduction-oxidation reaction. This represents the reaction in one side of the electrode in an electrolysis set-up. First, we find the oxidation number of Cu in CuSO4:

(ox. # of Cu)+ ox.# of S + 4(ox.# of oxygen) = 0
(ox. # of Cu) + (6) + 4(-2) = 0
ox. # of Cu = 2+

CuSO4 ---> Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ + SO42- ----> Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ -----> Cu + 2e- (net ionic reaction)

The stoichiometric equation would be 2 electrons per mole Copper. Copper has a molar mass of <span>63.5 g/mol. Then, it would only need 2 electrons.
