The decay of radium-226 produces an isotope

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ

Explanation:

This radioactive decay occurs when the unstable radium-226 atom wants to lose energy by emitting an alpha particle from its nucleus which is an helium nucleus with no electron. The radium (86) is transformed to radon(Rn) where the atomic number of radium (88) is reduced by two units into radon, Rn (86) and mass number reduced by 4 units.

The equation for the transformation is;

 ²²⁶₈₈Ra → ²²²₈₆Rn + ⁴₂He  +⁰₀γ  where

²²⁶₈₈Ra ---------radium-226

²²²₈₆Rn -------radon-222

⁴₂He ----------alpha particle

⁰₀γ ------------energy

Note that ⁴₂He can also be written as : ⁴₂∝

How many polar bonds are found in this molecule
Law Incorporation [45]
A bond is non polar if it is between same atoms and polar if it is between different atoms.

Same atoms are like two dogs of same strength pulling a bone towards towards each other. But when it’s different atoms it’s like a big dog and small dog then the bone is more towards bigger dog. So it’s the same way in bonds.

Bonds are made up of electrons, when the more stronger pulling atom is present than other the electrons are more towards it and as a result we have polar bond. There is development of a kind of a negative pole and a positive pole.

The stronger atom has electrons towards itself so it has a little more negative charge while the other atom has positive charge. This makes bond polar.

So just look for bond between two different atoms, it would be polar.

Look at the pic below to see the answer.

Marked with green is bond between same atoms... one carbon and another carbon so it is not polar and test marked with blue are polar.

Well the answer should have been 10 but since the bonds at 3 and 8 are two of same type we count only one of them.


The answer is 8... well the answer should be 10 otherwise... discuss it with ur teacher

We discussed the different types of intermolecular forces in this lesson. Which type would you expect to find in CO2?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Dispersion forces.

Explanation:

CO2 contains dispersion forces, and covalent bonds. It is a linear molecule, and the bond angle of O-C-O is 180 degree. O is more electronegative than C, the C-O contains polar bond with the having negative end pointing towards the O.

CO contains two C-O bonds. They cancel each other out because of the dipoles point in opposite directions. Although, CO2 contains polar bonds, it is known as a nonpolar molecule. So, the only intramolecular forces which CO2 having are London dispersion forces.
