<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

What is the oxidation number of chromium in dichromate ion, cr2o72-?
castortr0y [4]
Oxidation number is charge of element in compound. Can be neutral, positive or negative.
Oxygen in dichromate has oxidation number -2, becauce there are seven oxygens, net oxidation number of oxygen is -14.
2·x(oxidation number of Cr) + 7· (-2) = -2   2x= +12
x= +6, oxidation number of one chromium is +6.

Tuliskan persamaan tetapan kesetimbangan untuk reaksi-reaksi berikut a. Fe3+(aq) + SCN– (aq) ↔ FeSCN3+(aq) b. 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) ↔
nevsk [136]

Answer:

a. K_c = \dfrac{[ FeSCN^{3+}_{(aq)}] }{[Fe^{3+}_{(aq)}] [SCN^-_{(aq)}]}

b. K_p = \dfrac{[H_2]^4}{[H_2O]^4}

Explanation:

Untuk semua jenis reaksi umum:

aA + bB\iff cC + dD

Konstanta kesetimbangan K_c = \dfrac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

Dari pertanyaan yang diberikan:

a. Fe3^+_{(aq)} + SCN^-_{ (aq)} \iff FeSCN^{3+}_{(aq) }

Konstanta kesetimbangan:

K_c = \dfrac{[ FeSCN^{3+}_{(aq)}] }{[Fe^{3+}_{(aq)}] [SCN^-_{(aq)}]}

b. 3Fe_{(s)} + 4H_2O_{(g)} \iff Fe_3O_4_{(s)} + 4H_{2(g)}

Konstanta kesetimbangan untuk tekanan parsial K_p

K_p = \dfrac{[H_2]^4}{[H_2O]^4}

Karena Fe3O4 (s) hadir sebagai padatan.

What feature of an orbital is related to each of the following?<br> (a) Principal quantum number (n)
raketka [301]

Principle  quantum number describes the energy of an electron and most probable distance of the electron from the nucleus.

<h3>What is the significance of principle quantum numbers and azimuthal quantum numbers?</h3>

A principal quantum number  signifies size and energy of the orbital.Azimuthal quantum number signifies three dimensional shape of the orbital.

Magnetic quantum numbers signifies spatial orientation of the orbital.

Principal quantum numbers is the quantum numbers denoted by n which indirectly describes the size of the electron orbitals. It is always assigned an integer value but its value never be 0.  The feature of a principal quantum numbers  is the energy of  an electron and  most probable distance of the electron from the nucles.
