Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Sodium is Na, so there's 3 moles of that. Phosphorus is P, there's 1 mole of that. Oxygen is O, there's 4 moles of that.
Answer:
"nonmetal, nonmetal"
Explanation:
Oxygen is a non metal and Nitrogen is a non metal. It is 8th element of the periodic table. It is located in period 2 and group 16.
Nitrogen lies at the group 15 of the periodic table. Its atomic no is 7. Its valency is 2.
Hence, the correct option is (c) "nonmetal, nonmetal".
Answer:
4. trigonal planar symmetry.
Explanation:
The sp2 hybridization is formed with one s and two p atomic orbitals and form trigonal planar symmetry. In sp2 hybridization, there are same valence shell in both the orbitals and it gives three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals that are separated by 120 degrees giving trigonal planar symmetry.
Hence, the correct answer is "4. trigonal planar symmetry.".
