<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Alpha decay is given by following general equation,

                              ᵃₓA    →    ⁴₂He  +  ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B

Where;

           A  =  Parent Isotope

           B  =  Daughter Isotope

           ᵃ  =  Mass Number

           ₓ  =  Atomic Number

Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,

                                                 ²⁵¹₉₈Cf

The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆B

The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

Give the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by the element. rb
devlian [24]

Actually Rb or Rubidium in zero state has the following electron configuration:

<span>1s22s2</span><span>2p6</span><span>3s2</span><span>3p63d10</span><span>4s2</span><span>4p65s1</span>

 

However we can see that the ion has a 1 positive charge, which means that it lacks 1 electron, therefore the answer from the choices is:

<span>d. rb+: 1s22s22p63s23p64s23d104p6</span>

The electron in a hydrogen atom can undergo a transition from n = 4 to n = 3, emitting a photon with energy 1.06 × 10 –19J. Use
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Wavelength (λ) = 1.875 × 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

Given:

Energy (e) =  1.06 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Find:

Wavelength (λ) = ?

Computation:

e = hc / λ

λ = hc / e

where c = 3 × 10⁸

Planck's constant (h) = 6.625 × 10⁻³⁴

So,

Wavelength (λ) = (6.625 × 10⁻³⁴)(3 × 10⁸) / (1.06 × 10⁻¹⁹)

1. Wavelength (λ) = 1.875 × 10⁻⁶ m

2. Given n = 4 to n = 3 both are integer not fraction so, electron is quantize
