Chemistry
1 answer:
Flura [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Np²³⁷   →  He⁴ + Am²³³

The given nuclear equation is balanced. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and Am²³³.

Properties of alpha radiation:

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 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than 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.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Why do atoms form blonds​
lakkis [162]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

Please show work:<br> Question below
ozzi

Answer:

b) 2.0 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of Ca needed = ?

Number of moles of water present = 4.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

Ca + 2H₂O     →      Ca(OH)₂ + H₂

now we will compare the moles of Ca and H₂O .

                          H₂O        :        Ca                

                             2           :        1

                             4.0           :       1/2×4.0 = 2.0 mol

Thus, 2 moles of Ca are needed.

What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between two molecules of hexane? (BLB Ch. 11)
kati45 [8]

Answer:

induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

Explanation:

Hexane is non-polar in nature. This is due to :

The bond in the molecule is C-H, which is non-polar in nature because the carbon and the hydrogen having very similar electronegativity values.

Hexane is also symmetric.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule of the hexane are induced the dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

How can i find the number of electrons are gained or lost
wel

15. 1 were lost

16. 3 were gained

17. 2 were lost

18. 1 was gained

You can figure that out by looking at the number nest to the molecule with a  plus or minus sign next to it

+ = gained

- = lost
