Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the _________.

1 answer:

6 0

Unstable isotopes occur when the strong force is unable to overcome the electrostatic force.
There are no stable isotopes in the elements at the upper end of the periodic table, which clearly demonstrates the limit of the ability of the nuclear binding energy or the residual strong force, to overcome the electrostatic repulsion of all those protons in the nucleus.

Round off each number to the indicated number significant figures (sf):

qaws [65]

Answer :

(a) The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$

Explanation :

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

(a) The given number 00003554 converted into 2 significant figures.

In 00003554, there are 4 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 2 significant figures.

The given number in 2 significant figures will be, $3.6\times 10^3$

(b) The given number 35.8348 converted into 4 significant figures.

In 35.8348, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 4 significant figures.

The given number in 4 significant figures will be, $3.583\times 10^1$

(c) The given number 22.4555 converted into 3 significant figures.

In 22.4555, there are 6 significant figures. Now we have to convert it into 3 significant figures.

The given number in 3 significant figures will be, $2.24\times 10^1$

The physical and chemical properties of a molecule depend on its structure. Here are two ball-and-stick models for two compounds

djyliett [7]

Answer:

Ethanol has covalent intramolecular bonds. Ethanol is polar. Ethanol has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether is polar. Dimethyl ether forms hydrogen bonds. Dimethyl ether has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Explanation:

Ethanol is not a carboxylic acid. It is an alcohol and it has covelent intramolecular bonds. It is polar and it also has dispersion intermolecular forces.

Dimethyl ether is also polar and it has forms hydrogen bonds. It also has dispersion intermolecular forces. Dimethyl ether does not have ionic intramolecular forces

5. an atom that has lost or gained an electron and has become charged

densk [106]

Answer:

It would be compound.

Explanation:

It is this way because if it adds another proton it becomes more positive that nuetral, and if you add an electron it just makes the atom more dense. That is why the answer is compound. Hope this helped :)

How many protons and electrons does oxygen have? What about hydrogen? Draw a model of each atom if that helps you think about th

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Two electrons fit in the first shell out from the nucleus and eight fit in the second. Every element with more protons than the two of Helium needs to work on shells outside the first one. one you get to ten, you have filled the first two shells.

In a water molecule, oxygen forms one covalent bond with EACH of TWO hydrogen atoms. As a result, the oxygen atom has a stable arrangement of 8 valence electrons. Each hydrogen atom forms only one bond because it needs only two electrons to be stable.
