Which of the following statements regarding alpha particles are true? Check all that apply.a. Alpha particles have a mass number

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The only true statement is:

a. <u><em>Alpha particles have a mass number of 4</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Alpha particles</em> are radiactive particles equivalent to a helium nucleus, so they have two protons and two neutrons.

Hence, alpha particles, α, are represented as:

⁴₂He

The superscript 4 to the left of the chemical symbol is the <em>mass number:</em> 2 protons + 2 neutrons = 4

The subscript 2 to the left of the chemical symbol is the atomic number: 2 protons = 2.

Hence, the statement "a. Alpha particles have a mass number of 4" is true.

As for the other statements, you have:

<em>b. Alpha particles have a nulear charge of +1:</em> <u>false</u>

Since, these particles are the nucleous of the helium atom, the nuclear charge equals the number of protons of this atom: +2. Hence, the statement is false.

c. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a proton into a neutron</em> and d. <em>Alpha particle formation is accompanied by the conversion of a neutron into a proton</em>. <u>(both false</u>)

The conversion of a protons into a neutrons and the conversion of a neutron into a proton are product of other kind of radiactive desintegrations.

The conversion of a proton into a neutron involves the emission of a positron ( particle with same mass as the electron but positive charge) from the nucleus, which is represented as ⁰₊₁β.

The conversion of a neutron into a proton involves the emssion of an electron from the nucleus, which is the emission of a beta particle represented as ⁰₋₁β.

Therefore, these last two statements are also false.

What type of central-atom orbital hybridization corresponds to each electron-group arrangement:

galina1969 [7]

Tetrahedral arrangement is resulted upon mixing one s and three p atomic orbitals, resulting in 4 hybridized $sp^3$ orbitals → $sp^3$ hybridization.

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.

How many kilojoules (KJ) in 3.58 x 10^4 Calories?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter B

Explanation:

Data

3.58 x 10⁴ cal to joules

1 calories --------------- 4.184 joules

3.58 x 10⁴ cal----------- x

x = ( 3.58 x 10⁴ x 4.184) / 1

x = 149787.2 joules

x = 1.5 x 10⁵ J

A nuclide of phosphorus 3015P decays into a nuclide of silicon 3014Si. In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number

jeka94

In order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.

<h3>What is conservation of mass?</h3>

The principle of conservation of mass states that, the sum of the initial mass of reactants must be equal to final mass of the products.

$_{15}^{30}P\ --- > \ _{14}^{30} Si \ + \ ^{0}_{1} n$

The balanced reaction of radioactive decay of phosphorous shows conservation of mass.

Thus, in order to satisfy charge conservation and lepton number conservation the other products must be neutron.
