What would be the effect on the nucleus of an atom if it emitted one alpha particle and one gamma ray

Chemistry

Oksana_A [137]3 years ago
4 0
Unstable, radioactive atom emits alpha and gamma ray to transform into a stable atom.

Emitting an alpha particle, decreases the mass number by four and atomic number by two.
Emitting gamma ray reduces the excess energy of the radioactive atom.

Arrange the following H atom electron transitions in order of decreasing wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted:
Katyanochek1 [597]

The decreasing order of wavelengths of the photons emitted or absorbed by the H atom is : b → c → a → d

Rydberg's formula :

                                   \frac{1}{\lambda} = R_h (\frac{1}{n_1^2}-\frac{1}{n_2^2} ),

where  λ is the wavelength of the photon emitted or absorbed from an H atom electron transition from n_1 to n_2 and R_h = 109677 is the Rydberg Constant. Here n_1 and  n_2 represents the transitions.

(a) n_1 =2 to n_2 = infinity

            \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{\infty^2}  ) = 109677/4     [since 1/infinity = 0] Therefore, \lambda = 4 / 109677 = 0.00003647 m

(b) n_1=4 to  n_2 = 20

           \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{4^2}-\frac{1}{20^2}  ) = 6580.62

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 6580.62 = 0.000152 m

(c) n_1=3 to  n_2 = 10

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{3^2}-\frac{1}{10^2}  ) = 11089.56

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 / 11089.56 = 0.00009 m

(d)  n_1=2 to  n_2 = 1

          \frac{1}{\lambda} = 109677\times (\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1^2}  ) = - 82257.75

Therefore,  \lambda = 1 /82257.75  = - 0.0000121 m  

[Even though there is a negative sign, the magnitude is only considered because the sign denotes that energy is emitted.]

So the decreasing order of wavelength of the photon absorbed or emitted is b → c → a → d.

Which term refers to a small group of atoms that are attached to larger molecules, providing them with specific chemical propert
stepan [7]
Answer: Small groups of atoms that are attached to larger molecules, giving the specific chemical properties, are called functional groups.

explanation: Functional groups are groups of atoms in a molecule that possess the same chemical feature every time it appears in several compounds. There are various types of functional groups and they have the tendency to react in definite ways. Examples include; the ether functional group (consists of an oxygen atom that forms single bonds with two carbon atoms),the alcohol functional group (consists of an oxygen atom that is bonded to one hydrogen atom and one carbon atom), and the amine functional group (consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to some combination of carbons and hydrogens).

Which compound most likely contains polar covalent bonds?
marin [14]
I would say water; water is extremely polar, and this is why it can break one of the strongest bonds, ionic bonds. NaCl, as you probably know, is a salt, and dissolves in water. However, the ionic bond holding the Na+ and the Cl- is extremely strong; the boiling point of NaCl is at 1413 degrees celcius (water is at 100 degrees celcius). This means that it requires A LOT of energy to break the bond, but water is able to dissolve and break the bond very easily. It is very polar, so I would answer your question with water. And the bond connecting the H and the O is a covalent bond.

The spectrum of the combined chloro and aqua cobalt complex solutions tells you_______________.
andre [41]

Answer:The purple color is due to a mixture of the pink aqua complex and blue chloro complex and is not due to a new species.

Explanation:

The pink aqua complex of cobalt can be in equilibrium with blue chloro complex of cobalt giving rise to a purple colour. This equilibrium is governed by Le Chaterliers principle. A change in chloride or water concentration could shift the equilibrium towards any of the species causing its colour to become the dominant colour of the solution.
