How much energy would be released if 0.00046 kg of plutonium were converted to energy through radioactive decay?

1 answer:

3 0

Rdaioactive decay results in the formation of a different element. Plutonium decays by emitting alpha emission to form uranium. Thermal energy is emitted as the alpha particles are absorbed and the kinetic energy is converted to heat. The amount of energy is computed by the formula;
E = mc²
E = 0.000046 × (3 ×10^8)
Energy = 4.14 ×10^13 Joules

Which atom would it be most difficult to remove an electron from

Norma-Jean [14]

I would be difficult to remove an electron from a Noble or Inert Gas (also known as the group 8 or 0 elements). This is because they all have filled outermost shells and as such the outermost shell would be held tightly to the nucleus and as such make it difficult to remove. Examples Helium, Neon, Argon, Xenon, Krypton and Radon
