Terbium-147 undergoes positron emission to become a stable atom. What is that stable atom?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ivanzaharov [21]3 years ago
7 0

We have to get the stable atom formed after positron emission from Terbium-147.

The stable atom is (D) ₆₄Gd¹⁴⁷.

Positron is radioactive decay. Positron is a type of beta particle β⁺.

Positron emission decreases proton number relative to neutron number, positron decay results in nuclear transmutation, changing an atom of one chemical element with an atomic number that is less by one.

Terbium on positron emission produces Gadolinium with one atomic number less than Terbium. So, the positron emission reaction is as shown below:

Tb¹⁴⁷→ ₆₄Gd¹⁴⁷ + ₁e⁰

Maurinko [17]
Barium has a 2+ charge as it is in group 2 in the periodic table and so it has two electrons in its outer shell and chloride has a -1 charge on its chloride ion. So we will need two of the chloride ions as we have a 2+ charge to match the amount of charge on one barium ion- forming barium ion

How does urban sprawl affect water consumption?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Urban sprawl is the development in urban areas

Due to which people are migrating from rural areas to urban areas to get the jobs or their income sources due to the opportunities.

So, as population is increasing in the urban areas. The food consumption and water consumption will also increase.

So, this is how urban sprawl affect water consumption.

Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the
Kaylis [27]

Since the only way of water flow to these lakes or bodies of water is through evaporation, I would expect an increase in unknown substances in the composition of the lakes due to the amount of contamination that globalization produces and affects terribly the surroundings when these unknown substances travel through evaporation as the outlet of these bodies of water. Therefore I think continuous contamination is what to expect after many more years of inflow and evaporation.

Below is the Lewis structure of the hydrogen cyanide molecule.
lianna [129]

Answer :

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, HCN

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in HCN = 1 + 4 + 5 = 10

According to Lewis-dot structure we conclude that, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

The number of bonding pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 2

The number of lone pairs of electrons around the hydrogen atom = 0

Differences between mixtures and elements
EastWind [94]

Mixtures are a group of elements that are mixed together but not chemically combined

Elements are the fundamental materials of which all matter is composed.

Element: A substance that is made up of only one type of atom. Compound: A substance that is made up of more than one type of atom bonded together. Mixture: A combination of two or more elements or compounds which have not reacted to bond together
