Alpha partical is a He nucleus. When decaying alpha particle mass is reduced by 4 and atomic number is reduced by 2.

The actual element which has 102 protons is No (Nobelium). 
Since it has 167 neutrons, the mass = protons + neutrons = 102 + 167 = 269

after an alpha decay, the new element formed has 100 protons which is Fm ( Fermium)

the alpha decaying equation is,

    ₁₀₂²⁶⁹No → ₁₀₀²⁶⁵Fm + ₂⁴α + heat

the total mass and the atomic number( numbe rof protons) must be equal in both sides.

Which electron in sulfur is most shielded from nuclear charge?
natima [27]

Answer: 3p Orbitals

Explanation:

Electrons present in the 3p orbitals are farthest from the nucleus. Therefore, the electrons present in the 3p orbital will be shielded by the electrons present in the inner orbitals. Hence, 3p orbital in sulfur is most shielded from the nuclear charge".

Why are units used that are to express the densities of gases different from those used to express the densities of solids or li
aksik [14]
If the units for gases were the same as the units for numbers would be too small to be convenient.

For example, the density of iron is 7.87 g/cm³.

Using the same units, the density of hydrogen is 0.000 0899 g/cm³.

It is much more convenient to express the density in numbers that are easier to visualize: 0.0899 g/L, and that is still a small number.
