Which of the following isotopes would most likely be unstable and therefore radioactive?

Chemistry

svlad2 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Mercury-194 is an unstable isotope and hence is radioactive.

Explanation: Mercury-194 is an isotope of mercury, having formula _{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}

Number of protons in this isotope = 80

Number of neutrons in this isotope = 114

This isotope is radioactive in nature and under decay process by Electron Capture.

Electron capture reactions are the reactions in which a proton in a nucleus absorbs an electron and convert it into neutron. The resulting nucleus will have a decreased atomic number and same atomic mass.

Reaction for electron capture of mercury-194 follows:

_{80}^{194}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{79}^{194}\textrm{Au}

Which of the following molecules is nonpolar?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1. BF3 This is a trigonal planar molecule; the electron density is drawn into a cloud that circles the Boron, this is made nonpolar by the geometrically equivalent structure of the surrounding electronegative Fluorines.

2. H2O The 2 lone pairs of e- of Oxygen makes the O partially negative, the H’s, partially positive. Polar.

3. NF3 Lone pair on Nitrogen overwhelmed by the 3 incredibly electronegative Fluorines. Polar

4. CH3Br The “Soft Ion” of Bromine is negative; it is electronegative. Polar.

5. SO2 the lone pairs of Oxygen, at approximately 119°-120° angles to one another will form a reasonance structure; there will be more lone pairs about the Oxygen than the Sulfur; the Sulfur will be partially positive compared to the oxygens. Polar.

Wolff-kishner reduction (hydrazine, koh, ethylene glycol, 130°c) of the compound shown gave compound
telo118 [61]
The scheme is shown below, the steps involved are as follow,

Step one: Reduction:
               The carbonyl group of given compound on reduction using Wolf Kishner reagent converts the carbonyl group into -CH₂- group.

Step two: Epoxidation:
              The double bond present in starting compound when treated with m-CPBA (<span>meta-Chloroperoxybenzoic acid) gives corrsponding epoxide.

Step three: Reduction:
                The epoxide is reduced to alcohol on treatment with Lithium Aluminium Hydride (LiAlH</span>₄)<span> followed by hydrolysis.

Step four: Oxidation:
               The hydroxyl group (alcohol) is oxidized to carbonyl (ketonic group) using oxidizing agent Chromic acid (H</span>₂CrO₄).

Studentka2010 [4]
The answer is B.
You can rule C out because divergent means moving away. Rule out A because there is an oceanic and continental plate, not 2 of the same type. Rule D out for the same reason.
