Why do atoms go through radioactive decay?

1 answer:

8 0

They go through radioactive decay because when atoms are unstable by going through it they are emitting radiation in natural process and they gain stability by losing energy.

yKpoI14uk [10]

The name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.

<h3>Nomenclature of Organic compounds</h3>

From the question, we are to determine the name of the given molecule.

To name the compound, we will follow the IUPAC rules.

Some of IUPAC rules are

Find the longest continuous carbon chain. Determine the root name for this parent chain.
For Alkenes (organic compounds with double bond), number the chain of carbons that includes the C=C so that the C=C has the lower position number. Change “ane” to “ene” and assign a position number to the first carbon of the C=C.

The given compound has 8 carbons and a double bond. The root name of the compound is octane.

By <u>IUPAC rules</u>, the compound is an <u>Octene</u>.

Since the double bond is between carbon-1 and carbon-2. The compound becomes 1-octene.

Hence, the name of the compound by using the <u>IUPAC nomenclature of organic compounds</u> is 1 -octene. The correct option is the last option - 1-octene.

A sample of TNT, C7H5N3O6 , has 8.94 × 1021 nitrogen atoms. How many hydrogen atoms are there in this sample of TNT?

Bess [88]

Answer:

1.49×10²² atoms of H are contained in the sample

Explanation:

TNT → C₇H₅N₃O₆

1 mol of this has 7 moles of C, 5 moles of H, 3 moles of N and 6 moles of O

Let's determine the mass of TNT.

Molar mass is = 227 g/mol

As 1 mol has (6.02×10²³) NA atoms, how many moles are 8.94×10²¹ atoms.

8.94×10²¹ atoms / NA = 0.0148 moles

So this would be the rule of three to determine the mass of TNT

3 moles of N are in 227 g of compound

0.0148 moles of N are contained in (0.0148 .227) / 3 = 1.12 g

Now we can work with the hydrogen.

227 grams of TNT contain 5 moles of H

1.12 grams of TNT would contain (1.12 .5) / 227 = 0.0247 moles

Finally let's convert this moles to atoms:

0.0247 mol . 6.02×10²³ atoms / 1 mol = 1.49×10²² atoms

Which compound will conduct electricity when it is dissolved in water? CH4 CuSO4 C6H6 C6H12O6

mestny [16]

I would say CuSO4 or Copper Sulfate, as option 1 is Methane and would create a fire so heat, and the last one is Sugar which doesn't conduct electricity. And C6H6 I believe is not soluble in water.<span />

Igoryamba

Answer:

internal fertilization

Explanation:

Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external fertilization.
