What is the beta decay of uranium-237

1 answer:

3 0

During a phenomenon called beta decay the neutron of the isotope uranium 237 emits/releases an electron causing an increase of atomic number. With the reference of a periodic table the "new" element is Neptunium or Np-237.

If an atom has 6 valence electrons, how many electrons does it need to gain to achieve a stable electron configuration?

shusha [124]

it would need to gain 2 more for it to achieve a stable configuration

the best way to remember this is the noble gasses all have 8 valence electrons and that they are the most stable elements on the periodic table

Calculate the ratio of the mass ratio of SS to OO in SOSO to the mass ratio of SS to OO in SO2SO2. Consider a sample of SOSO in

Veronika [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the mass ratio of S to O; in SO, to the mass ratio of S to O; in SO₂, is 2:1

Explanation:

According to the consideration, let us first find the ratio of S and O in both the compounds

For SO:

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{16}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 2$

Let us express it as

$SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }} = 2$

For SO₂,

Due to two oxygen atoms in the molecule, the mass of oxygen will be taken two times

$\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= \frac{32}{(2)(16)}\\\\ \frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }= 1$

Let us express it as

$SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}= 1$

Now, for the ratio of both the above-calculated ratios,

$\frac{SO_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}{SO_2_{\frac{m_{S} }{m_{O} }}}=\frac{2}{1}$

The required ratio is 2:1
