Why is it advantageous to produce plutonium -239

2 answers:

6 0

By definition, a plutonium 239 is a specific kind of nuclear isotope where it is known to have produced from transmutation of uranium in fuel rods. In addition, among it, main advantages would be that it has a significantly higher chance of being involved in a nuclear fission as compared to uranium.

The plutonium is considered to be advantageous. This can be explained considering the following reasons

a) It is an isotope of Plutonium which is radioactive and is being produced from uranium by its transmutation.

b) It is also can be considered as potential and important candidate of production of energy by its nuclear fission in comparison to Uranium

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Explain why HS2 has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

H2S has a bent geometry, while BeH2 has a linear geometry because: presence of lone pair in H2S

Absence of Lone pair in BeH2

Explanation:

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of S = 16 = 1s(2 )2s(2) 2p(6) 3s(2 )3p(4)

Outer most shell has 6 electron

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 6

Out of these 6 electrons ,

2 electrons are formed in bonding with Hydrogen

Rest 4 are non- bonding and present as lone - pair

H2S exist - sp3 hybridisation

There are 2-Lone pair on S in H2S (look at the image attached)

Structure of H2S :

Atomic number of Be = 4 = 1s(2 ) 2s(2)

Valence electron (Involved in bonding) = 2

These 2- electron are involved in bonding with two Hydrogen and form liner shape.*Form sp - hybridized

Hence shape is linear because it has non - lone pair.

VSEPR : According to this theory lone pair causes repulsion to the bond and cause unstability in the molecule.

Hence the bonds shifts away from lone pairs . This is why H-S bonds in H2S shifts way from lone pair

**98 POINTS**

Andrei [34K]

OP already did it - CONGRATS!!

here are the steps 2 get the same ans:

(NH4)2 CO3 has 2x N, 8x H, 1x C and 3x O per molecule

so its molecular mass = 2x14 + 8x1 + 1x12 + 3x16

=28+8+12+48

=96g

of that 96g, 8x1=8g is due to Hydrogen

so by ratio n proportion, 1.00g will have 1x8/96 = 1/12g = 0.083g of H

The entire range of electromagnetic wave frequencies is known as ______.

Vilka [71]

The entire range of electromagnetic frequencies is known as C, the electromagnetic spectrum.

Television remote controls (D) do NOT use radio waves (they use infrared radiation).

A material that allows some, but not all, light to pass through it, would be described as translucent (C).
