1. In general, the nucleus of a small atom is stable. Therefore, over very short distances, such as those in a small nucleus,

postnew [5]

<h3>1. Answer;</h3>

a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently.
Therefore, an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.
Small atoms are stable; this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together.

<h3>9. Answer;</h3>

b. change into a different element altogether.

Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will change into a different element altogether.

<h3> Explanation;</h3>

Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.
Alpha decay is one of the types of decays, others being beta decay and gamma decay. In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.
Therefore, Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234.

Part V Write the (a) half reaction of oxidation, (b) half reaction of reduction, & (c) the balanced redox reaction for all o

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Oxidation : 2O + 4e^- ------> 2O^2-

b. Reduction: 2Sr - 4e- -------> Sr^2+

c. Balanced redox reaction

2Sr + O2 ------------> 2Sr O

Oxidation and reduction can be defined by various means, addition of oxygen, removal of hydrogen, removal of electrons. For this reaction, this definition is used, oxidation is the loss of electrons while reduction is the gaining of electrons.

In (a) oxidation half reaction, the valency of oxygen is zero and then moves into lossing two electrons resulting into -2 valency.

In (b) reduction half reaction, the valency of Sr is zero and gains electrons resulting into valency of 2.

In the overall redox reaction, Sr and O2 with valency of 0 each reacts together and form SrO with valency of 2 and -2 respectively, which gives 0 and then balances the equation.

you fill a rigid steel container that has a volume of 20 L with nitrogen gas to a final pressure of 2 x 10^4 kpa at 23 Celsius.

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

4.549 kg.

Explanation:

We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 2 x 10⁴ kPa/101.325 = 197.4 atm).

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 20.0 L).

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T = 23° C + 273 = 296 K).

∴ n = PV/RT = (197.4 atm)(20.0 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(296 K) = 162.5 mol.

To find the mass of N₂ in the cylinder, we can use the relation:

mass of N₂ = (no. of moles of N₂)*(molar mass of N₂) = (162.5 mol)*(28.0 g/mol) = 4549 g = 4.549 kg.

how many electrons does it take to fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms?

Musya8 [376]

The number of electrons it take to fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms simply is 14 electrons.

<h3>How electrons are distributed in the 3s orbitals.</h3>

The 3s orbital possess two different spherical nodes which is highly connected with the principal quantum number. In order words, it has 2 radial nodes. Also the shape of the 3s orbital is spherical in shape.

That being said, from the context of the above given task, the number of electrons which fill the mos formed from the combination of the 3s orbitals of two atoms is fourteen electrons.

However, the electron configuration of an atom simply is the arrangement of electrons in the electron shell or orbit of the atom of that element.

In conclusion, it can be deduced from above s orbital has a maximum of two electrons and this energy increases as the orbitals increases.
