If the thorium-232 isotope emits an alpha particle, what would be the atomic number of the resulting atom?

Chemistry

inysia [295]3 years ago
4 0

<span>Answer is: atomic number of resulting atom is 88.
Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: ²³</span>²Th → ²²⁸Ra + α (alpha particle).

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

liubo4ka [24]
1) mol fraction of gas X= 2/(6+2)=2/8=1/4
2) mol fraction of gas Y= 6/(6+2)=6/8=3/4
3) Partial pressure of X = 1/4*2.1 atm=0.53 atm
4) Partial pressure of Y = 3/4*2.1=1.6 atm

The force of attraction between one polar molecule and another polar molecule is​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Dipole-dipole forces

Explanation:

A polar compound is that compound which contains atoms that have a difference in charges i.e electrostatic attraction occurs between its constituent atoms. Polar molecules are attracted to other polar molecules with opposite charges and her held together with the aid of certain forces

The attractive force between the negative part of a polar molecule (-) and the positive part of another polar molecule (+) is called DIPOLE-DIPOLE FORCES. This dipole-dipole force gets stronger with an increasing polarity of the molecules involved.

Veseljchak [2.6K]
 The   compound that  could serve  as  a reactant   in the neutralization reaction is    H2SO4
     
  Explanation
   Neutralization reaction occur  between an acids  and a base. H2SO4             (  sulfuric acid)  is  a strong  acid.  It can be neutralized by  strong base such as NaOH ( sodium  hydroxide)

  Example of neutralization reaction is

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4  + 2H2O
