24. Write the balanced the equation for this reaction.


26. What is the order of the types of nuclear radiation from lowest to highest energy?


27. Which statement is false? Rewrite it so that it is true.
a. Fusion involves the combination of two smaller atoms into a larger atom.
b. Fission involves the splitting of an atom into smaller atoms.
c. Fission and fusion are two processes that release very little amounts of energy.

28. Magnesium bromide is a binary ionic compound. From its formula, MgBr2, how do you know that Mg is the metal?


29. Element X has five valence electrons, element Y has one valence electron, and element Z has one valence electron. Which two of these elements are most likely to have similar properties? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

22 - Reactant 1: HCl

       Reactant 2: Na₂S

23 - Product 1: H₂S

       Product 2: NaCl

24 - 2HCl + Na₂S ⇒ H₂S + 2NaCl

26 - alpha (Lowest)

       beta

       gamma (Highest)

27 - Statement "c" is False

The true statement is:

Fission and fusion are two processes that release high amounts of energy.

28 - From its formula we know that each Mg atom is bounded with 2 Br atoms. From periodic table we can see that Br has 7 electrons in its outer shell and require 1 electron to complete its outer shell. MgBr₂ each Br has taken one electron from Mg to complete its outer shell which means that Mg has given away 2 electrons forming ion with positive 2 (+2) charge. Metals are the ones that form positive ions by giving away electrons therefor we know that Mg is a metal.

29 - Y and Z are most likely to have similar properties

Explanation:

22 - Hydrogen has 1 electrons in its outer shell and Chlorine requires 1 electrons to complete its outer shell because it lies in 7th group of the periodic table. Hydrogen gives away 1 electron while Chlorine excepts 1 electron. Therefore the formula is HCl (one hydrogen atom bonded with one Cl atom)

Similarly Na lies in the first group of the periodic table so it has 1 electron in its outer shell. It gives away that electron but Sulfide requires 2 electrons so 2 Na atoms form bond with Sulfide.  

23 - same logic as mentioned above in the explanation of 22 can be applied.

24 - Balancing of the equation means equal number of atoms for each element must be present on reactant and product side of equation.

26 - Three types of radiations are alpha (Lowest energy) beta and gamma (Highest energy)

27 - Statement "c" is False

The true statement is:

Fission and fusion are two processes that release high amounts of energy.

28 - From its formula we know that each Mg atom is bounded with 2 Br atoms. From periodic table we can see that Br has 7 electrons in its outer shell and require 1 electron to complete its outer shell. MgBr₂ each Br has taken one electron from Mg to complete its outer shell which means that Mg has given away 2 electrons forming ion with positive 2 (+2) charge. Metals are the ones that form positive ions by giving away electrons therefor we know that Mg is a metal.

29 - Y and Z are most likely to have similar properties because same number of electrons in their outer shell.

Answer 2

Answer:

I'll answer below

Explanation:

22.- HCl + Na₂S

23.- H₂S + NaCl

24.- 2HCl + Na₂S ⇒ H₂S + 2NaCl

26.- alfa They don't penetrate very deeply into the skin, in fact, clothing can stop alpha particles.

       beta  penetrate clothing and skin.

       gamma can travel through most forms of matter because they have no mass. It takes several inches of lead or several feet of concrete.

27.- Fission and fusion are two processes that release too much amounts of energy.

28.- Well, I could be because in a formula we write first the metal and later the non metal.

29.- The elements that are most likely to have similar properties are Y and Z, that's because they have the same valence electron. All the elements with they same valence electron have similar properties.
