Predicting nuclear stability is important when determining whether or not a nuclear reaction can take place spontaneously.Use th

e following set of guidelines to predict the nuclear stability of the elements listed below.
1. Stable nuclei have a high neutron-to-proton ratio, greater than 1.25 beyond atomic number 40 and continuing to rise at higher atomic numbers.
2. The majority of stable nuclei have even numbers of neutrons and protons. Odd-even and even-odd combinations can be stable but stability is less likely.
3. Nuclei that have the magic numbers of 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, or 82 protons or 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 or 126 neutrons are more stable than nuclei that do not contain these numbers.
4. Nuclei that have atomic numbers greater than 83 are unstable.Nuclei are considered stable if one or more criteria are met.

Answer:

a) unstable

b) unstable

c) unstable

d) Stable

Explanation:

a)

^{212}_{84}PO

The given isotope , atomic number is greater than 83.(84>83).

Therefore, it is unstable.

b)

^{30}_{15}P

The given isotope  has even number of protons(15) and neutrons(15).

Therefore, it is unstable.

c)

^{137}_{55}Cs

The given isotope  has even number of protons(15).

Therefore, it is unstable.

d)

^{118}_{50}Sn

The given isotope have even number of neutrons ( 68) an d the proton ratio is \frac{68}{50}= 1.36.It is more than 1.25.

Therefore, it is stable.

kossel explained that inert gases r inert due to the electronic configuration which contains 8 electrons in their outermost shell

And other elements loss and gain electrons to form ions and to have electronic configuration same as Noble gas and to get stable

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

<h3>What are the gas laws?</h3>

The gas laws are used to describe the parameters that has to do with gases.

Given that;

P1 = 98.5 kPa

T1 = 18oC or 291 K

V1 =  74.0 dm3

P2 =  7.0 kPa

V2 = ?

T2 = 18oC or 291 K

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1V1T2 =P2V2T1

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  98.5 kPa *  74.0 dm3 * 291 K/ 7.0 kPa * 291 K

V2 = 1041.3 dm3

When;

V1 = 1041.3 dm3

T1 = 291 K

V2 = ?

T2 = 80oC or 353 K

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = V1T2/T1

V2 = 1041.3 dm3 * 353 K/291 K

V2 = 1263 dm3

The change in temperature had the greatest effect at changing the volume of the balloon.

Given that

V1 =  100 cm^3

T1 = 273 K

P1 = 1.01 * 10^5 Pa

V2 = ?

P2 =  3.00 x 10^-4 Pa

T2 = -180oC or 255 K

V2= P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 =  1.01 * 10^5 Pa * 100 cm^3 * 255 K / 3.00 x 10^-4 Pa * 273 K

V2 = 3.14 * 10^10 cm^3

The radius of an atom is closest in size to a
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The size of an isolated atom can't be measured because we can't determine the location of the electrons that surround the nucleus. We can estimate the size of an atom, however, by assuming that the radius of an atom is half the distance between adjacent atoms in a solid. This technique is best suited to elements that are metals, which form solids composed of extended planes of atoms of that element. The results of these measurements are therefore often known as metallic radii.
