Uranium is a metallic element that is used in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. The vast majority of uranium found on Earth

is in the form of uranium-238, an isotope with a mass number of 238, while the uranium that is used for nuclear reactors and weapons is uranium-235, an isotope with a mass number of 235.
In a certain type of nuclear reactor, uranium-238 can be converted to plutonium-239, another radioactive element (with an atomic number of 94) that can be used to power nuclear reactions. Which of the following statements regarding uranium-238 and plutonium-239 is false?

An atom of plutonium-239 contains 145 neutrons.
An atom of plutonium-239 contains two more protons and one fewer neutron than an atom of uranium-238.
An atom of uranium-238 has a smaller mass than an atom of plutonium-239.
An atom of plutonium-239 contains one more proton than an atom of uranium-238.

In 2002, the fossil of a four-winged dinosaur was discovered in China and named a microraptor. What was the significance of the
Gnom [1K]

The answer is; It provided clues for scientists to develop a hypothesis about the origin of flight.

Scientists now postulate that dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds. This because the Microraptor is a dinosaur with feathers in all its limbs. It is also the smallest dinosaur to every been discovered and has been compared with the  Archaeopteryx (involving even genetic sequencing) to hypothesize how dinosaurs evolved into birds.

The reactivity of an atom arises from
saw5 [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

For metals, the further away the valence electrons are from the nucleus, the higher the reactivity of the elements. Unlike halogens that are more reactive if the valence orbital shells are closer to the nucleus. This is due to ionization energies – which is the minimum energy required to discharge an electron from its orbit.

For metals this should be lower because they need to lose electrons to attain a stable electron configuration. For halogens it should be high because they don't need to lose electrons, but rather gain, in order to attain stable electron configuration.

Electrons in their orbital shells need to occur in pairs (with opposite quantum states) to be in stable configuration and as long as an atom has orbitals with single electrons, the atoms will be reactive as opposed to when its orbitals are ‘full’.
