5. Which of the following correctly shows alpha decay?

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

U --> Th + He

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

What is the hybridization of the central atom in each of the following? 1. Beryllium chloride 2. Nitrogen dioxide 3. Carbon tetr

Lina20 [59]

Answer :

(1) The hybridization of central atom beryllium in $BeCl_2$ is, $sp$

(2) The hybridization of central atom nitrogen in $NO_2$ is, $sp^2$

(3) The hybridization of central atom carbon in $CCl_4$ is, $sp^3$

(4) The hybridization of central atom xenon in $XeF_4$ is, $sp^3d^2$

Explanation :

Formula used :

$\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

Now we have to determine the hybridization of the following molecules.

(1) The given molecule is, $BeCl_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [2+2]=2$

The number of electron pair are 2 that means the hybridization will be $sp$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be linear.

(2) The given molecule is, $NO_2$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4]=2$

If the sum of the number of sigma bonds, lone pair of electrons and odd electrons present is equal to three then the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

In nitrogen dioxide, there are two sigma bonds and one lone electron pair. So, the hybridization will be, $sp^2$ .

(3) The given molecule is, $CCl_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [4+4]=4$

The number of electron pair are 4 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

(4) The given molecule is, $XeF_4$

$\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [8+4]=6$

Bond pair electrons = 4

Lone pair electrons = 6 - 4 = 2

The number of electrons are 6 that means the hybridization will be $sp^3d^2$ and the electronic geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

But as there are four atoms around the central xenon atom, the fifth and sixth position will be occupied by lone pair of electrons. The repulsion between lone and bond pair of electrons is more and hence the molecular geometry will be square planar.
