3 0

Explanation:

Fission refers to splitting into parts.

When there is splitting of a heavy nucleus that leads to formation of two or more small nucleus along with release of energy is known as a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, ^{235}_{92}U + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{89}_{36}Kr + ^{144}_{56}Ba + 3^{1}_{0}n + 210 MeV

How is the information about cats found in myths and fairy tales and legends different from information gathered through science
forsale [732]
Scirnce uses a method of testing to declare rules or facts. myth and fairy tales have no way of being tested. cats are a physical creature we can see, test, and observe. a mythical idea canny be tested. for example: mermaids cannot be tested as we have none to observe.

Write the condensed ground-state electron configurations of these transition metal ions, and state which are paramagnetic:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

a) Mo the electron configuration: 42Mo: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d4

Mo3+ - is Paramagnetic

b) Au - [Xe] 4f14 5d10 6s1

For Au+ is not paramagnetic

c) Mn - [Ar] 3d5 4s2

Mn2+ is paramagnetic

d)Hf -[Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d² 6s²

Hf2+ is not paramagnetic

Explanation:

An atom becomes positively charged when it looses an electron.

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

Matter is made up of heat energy and ___________energy?
ella [17]
You’re correct, matter is made up of heat energy and chemical energy

all matter contains heat because it is the result of the movement of atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.

all matter also contains chemical energy. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds so atoms and molecules are held together by chemical energy

hope this helps :)
