Answer:

Uranium-233- fission

Plutonium-239- fission

Plutonium-241- fission

Hydrogen-3 fusion

Hydrogen-1 fusion

Helium-3 fusion

Explanation:

In nuclear fission, heavy nuclear disintegrate into smaller nuclei when bombarded with particles such as neutrons. Fission reaction is common among nuclei having a high atomic number such as plutonium and uranium.

Fusion occurs between two light nuclei such as hydrogen or helium. It involves the combination of two lighter elements to give a heavier element with the release of tremendous amount of energy.

Determine the formula of chromic acid.

Katyanochek1 [597]

<u>Answer:</u> The formula of chromic acid is $H_2CrO_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given an ionic compound named as chromic acid. This acid is formed by the combination of hydrogen ion and chromate ion.

An acid is defined as the substance which releases hydrogen ion when dissolved in water.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of $1s^1$ .

This element will loose 1 electron to form $H^{+}$ ion.

Chromate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of $CrO_4^{2-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for the given compound is $H_2CrO_4$

Thus, the formula of chromic acid is $H_2CrO_4$

As the elements of Group 17 are considered in order of increasing atomic number, there is an increase in

11111nata11111 [884]

Alright so the way I see it by definition of increasing atomic number of the halogen family, that means you're going down the periodic table. Therefore, there's an increase in the number of outer shells. The atomic radius would increase because that's basically the distance between the nucleus of the element to the outermost electron. More electron shells=Greater distance=Larger atomic radius
