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∝

Does changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles affect the rate at which the reaction occurs?
Agata [3.3K]
Answer: yes


When the concentration of all the reactants increases then the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration decreases then the rate of reaction decreases.

This all because more molecules or ions form new compounds. Or losses.

How many chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion and why??
antiseptic1488 [7]
3 Chlorine ions are required to bond with one aluminum ion.

In ionic bonds, metals atoms loses all its outermost shell electrons to form a cation. While, non metal atoms gains however many electrons in order to make its outermost electron shell be 8 (or 2 if there's only one shell).

Therefore, form the periodic table, we can see that aluminum has a atomic number of 13, which makes its electron arrangement be 2,8,3. So, in order to form a aluminum ion, an Al atom must lose 3 electrons. On the other hand, Chlorine has a atomic number of 17, which means it has the electron configuration of 2,8,7. It has to gain only 1 electron to have 8 outermost shell electron.

Thereofre, 3 Chlorine atom are required to gain all 3 electrons given out by just 1 aluminum ion.
