Take zinc-73 through beta decay ; write a complete equation

Chemistry

Explanation:Naturally occurring zinc (30Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, and 70Zn with 64Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Twenty-five radioisotopes have been characterised with the most abundant and stable being 65Zn with a half-life of 244.26 days, and 72Zn with a half-life of 46.5 hours. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 14 hours and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than 1 second. This element also has 10 meta states.

Zinc has been proposed as a "salting" material for nuclear weapons. A jacket of isotopically enriched 64Zn, irradiated by the intense high-energy neutron flux from an exploding thermonuclear weapon, would transmute into the radioactive isotope 65Zn with a half-life of 244 days and produce approximately 1.115 MeV[2] of gamma radiation, significantly increasing the radioactivity of the weapon's fallout for several years. Such a weapon is not known to have ever been built, tested, or used.[3]

the triple point of co2 occurs at nearly 1000 times greater pressure and at a lower temperature than the triple point of h2o. ba
IceJOKER [234]

Since liquid CO2 cannot exist at pressures lower than 5.11 atm, the triple point is defined as 56.6 °C and 5.11 atm.

Are CO2 liquids explosive?

Although it can impair judgement at high doses, carbon dioxide is neither poisonous nor combustible. Asphyxiation is typically seen as the primary risk associated with CO2. The Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion, however, is a serious risk connected to compressed CO2 (BLEVE)

What PSI does CO2 turn into liquid at?

Only at pressures more than 5.1 atm does liquid carbon dioxide form; the triple point of carbon dioxide is approximately 518 kPa at 56.6 °C. Depending on the pressure, the liquid's boiling point ranges from -70°F to +88°F. The expansion ratio when vaporised at 60°F is 535:1. CO2 is a gas or liquid.

In each of the following sets of elements, which one will be least likely to gain or lose electrons?
klasskru [66]
1. The reactivity among the alkali metals increases as you go down the group due to the decrease in the effective nuclear charge from the increased shielding by the greater number of electrons. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the hold on the valence electron the nucleus has, and the more easily the element can lose the electron. Conversely, the lower the atomic number, the greater pull the nucleus has on the valence electron, and the less readily would the element be able to lose the electron (relatively speaking). Thus, in the first set comprising group I elements, sodium (Na) would be the least likely to lose its valence electron (and, for that matter, its core electrons).

2. The elements in this set are the group II alkaline earth metals, and they follow the same trend as the alkali metals. Of the elements here, beryllium (Be) would have the highest effective nuclear charge, and so it would be the least likely to lose its valence electrons. In fact, beryllium has a tendency not to lose (or gain) electrons, i.e., ionize, at all; it is unique among its congeners in that it tends to form covalent bonds.

3. While the alkali and alkaline earth metals would lose electrons to attain a noble gas configuration, the group VIIA halogens, as we have here, would need to gain a valence electron for an full octet. The trends in the group I and II elements are turned on their head for the halogens: The smaller the atomic number, the less shielding, and so the greater the pull by the nucleus to gain a valence electron. And as the atomic number increases (such as when you go down the group), the more shielding there is, the weaker the effective nuclear charge, and the lesser the tendency to gain a valence electron. Bromine (Br) has the largest atomic number among the halogens in this set, so an electron would feel the smallest pull from a bromine atom; bromine would thus be the least likely here to gain a valence electron.

4. The pattern for the elements in this set (the group VI chalcogens) generally follows that of the halogens. The greater the atomic number, the weaker the pull of the nucleus, and so the lesser the tendency to gain electrons. Tellurium (Te) has the highest atomic number among the elements in the set, and so it would be the least likely to gain electrons.

Caitlin told Teddy that she heard that the largest diamond was found yesterday in Africa. What would be the best source of resea
matrenka [14]
B, the Internet.

If Caitlin told Teddy that the largest diamond was found YESTERDAY then it wouldn't be in last month's science magazine. It also wouldn't be able to be in an encyclopedia at the library because there wouldn't have been any time to write, publish, and for the library to get the encyclopedia in one day. Caitlin's parents may not know about Caitlin's claim or about the diamond in the first place. The Internet would likely have an article about the news-breaking diamond as soon as possible.
