The correct answer is Gamma decay. It happens after beta and alpha decay because what's left after those two can enter a new process of gamma decay. This releases gamma rays which is a more complex term for the photons that you mentioned before. These rays can be dangerous for humans so care not to get caught in them.

How many electrons does phosphorus have in its valence shell and neutrons in its nucleus, respectively?
DaniilM [7]
If you look at the periodic table of elements, you can see that atomic number for phosphorus is 15. It means that it has 15 electrons and 15 protons total. Now you can write configuration for P which is:  1s22s22p63s23p3. or [Ne] 3s2<span> 3p</span><span>3 </span><span>
From here, you can see that it has 5 valence electrons (s2+p3).

In the periodic table of elements the number of protons+ number of neutrons is determined as atomic mass. Atomic mass of the P is 30. 
number of neutrons = atomic mass-atomic number 
number of neutrons = 30-15
number of neutrons= 15 </span>

Identify and calculate the number of representative particles in 2.15 moles of gold.<br>​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

1.29 * 10^{24} particles of gold

Explanation:

To convert the number of moles of any substance, in this case gold, you need Avogadro's number.

Avogadro's number is always 6.022 × 10^{23}

2.15 moles Au × \frac{6.022*10^{23} particles}{1 mole Au} = 1.29 * 10^{24} particles of gold

14. In the lab, an experimenter mixes 75.0 g of water (initially at 30oC) with 83.8 g of a solid metal (initially at 600oC). At
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Tungsten is used for this experiment

Explanation:

This is a Thermal - equilibrium situation. we can use the equation.

Loss of Heat of the Metal = Gain of Heat by the Water

                      -Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\

                    Q = mΔTC_{p}

Q = heat

m = mass

ΔT = T₂ - T₁

T₂ = final temperature

T₁ = Initial temperature

Cp = Specific heat capacity

<u>Metal</u>

m = 83.8 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 600⁰C

Cp = x

<u>Water</u>

m = 75 g

T₂ = 50⁰C

T₁ = 30⁰C

Cp = 4.184 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

               -Q_{m}=+Q_{w}\\

⇒ - 83.8 x x x (50 - 600) = 75 x 4.184 x (50 - 30)

⇒ x = \frac{6276}{46090} = 0.13 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

We know specific heat capacity of Tungsten = 0.134 j.g⁻¹.⁰c⁻¹

So metal Tungsten used in this experiment

Arrange the following ions in order of increasing ionic radius.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Ca 2+ <K  +  <Ar<Cl  −  <S  2−

Explanation:

Ar,K  + ,Cl  − ,S  2− ,Ca  2+

 have the same number of electrons. Their radii would be different because of their different nuclear charges. The cation with the greater positive charge will have a smaller radius because of the greater attraction of the electrons to the nucleus. Anion with the greater negative charge will have the larger radius. In this case, the net repulsion of the electrons will outweigh the nuclear charge and the ion will expand in size. Hence the correct order will be Ca  

2+  <K +  <Ar<Cl  −  <S  2−
