Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
Answer: -
IE 1 for X = 801
Here X is told to be in the third period.
So n = 3 for X.
For 1st ionization energy the expression is
IE1 = 13.6 x Z ^2 / n^2
Where Z =atomic number.
Thus Z =( n^2 x IE 1 / 13.6)^(1/2)
Z = ( 3^2 x 801 / 13.6 )^ (1/2)
= 23
Number of electrons = Z = 23
Nearest noble gas = Argon
Argon atomic number = 18
Number of extra electrons = 23 – 18 = 5
a) Electronic Configuration= [Ar] 3d34s2
We know that more the value of atomic radii, lower the force of attraction on the electrons by the nucleus and thus lower the first ionization energy.
So more the first ionization energy, less is the atomic radius.
X has more IE1 than Y.
b) So the atomic radius of X is lesser than that of Y.
c) After the first ionization, the atom is no longer electrically neutral. There is an extra proton in the atom.
Due to this the remaining electrons are more strongly pulled inside than before ionization. Hence after ionization, the radii of Y decreases.
