Answer:

Take E(alpha particle energy) = 5.5 MeV (5.5x106x1.6x10-19)

If the charge on the lead nucleus is +82e(atomic number of lead is 82) = +82x1.6x10-19 C and the charge on the alpha particle is +2e = 2x1.6x10-19 C

Using dc = (1/4πεo)qQ/Eα we have

dc = [9x10^9x(2x1.6x10-19x82x1.6x10-19)]/5.5x10-13 = 6.67x10^-13m. = 6.67 x 10^-13 x 10^15 = 6.67 x 10^2fm

Note: 1meter = 10^15fentometer

Explanation:

This is well inside the atom but some eight nuclear diameters from the centre of the lead nucleus.

What is an example of potential energy and kentic energy?
lana [24]
Potential energy is stored energy. Kinetic energy involves movement.

If a ball is on the top of a hill, it has the most potential energy on the very top of the hill. The kinetic energy is also 0 at this point.

If the ball rolls down the hill, potential energy decreases while kinetic increases.

Answer:

Iodine is most reactive because it is very close to having a "full shell" which is 8 electrons so they are "eager" to gain the last electron to became balanced, so that makes it the most reactive. Hope that helps:)

Determine the amount of heat(in Joules) needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice. (Assume standard conditions - the ice exists at zero d
Yuki888 [10]
Following are important constant that used in present calculations
Heat of fusion of H2O = 334 J/g 
<span>Heat of vaporization of H2O = 2257 J/g </span>
<span>Heat capacity of H2O = 4.18 J/gK 
</span>
Now, energy required for melting of ICE = <span>  334 X 5.25 = 1753.5 J .......(1)
Energy required for raising </span><span>the temperature water from 0 oC to 100 oC =  4.18 X 5.25 X 100 = 2195.18 J .............. (2)
</span>Lastly, energy required for boiling water = <span>  2257X 5.25 = 11849.25 J ......(3)
</span><span>
Thus, total heat energy required for entire process = (1) + (2)  + (3)
                                                                        = 1753.5 + 2195.18 + 11849.25
                                                                        = </span><span>15797.93 J 
</span><span>                                                                        = 15.8 kJ
</span><span>Thus, 15797.93 J of energy is needed to boil 5.25 grams of ice.</span>
