When an isotope emits an alpha particle, its atomic number

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atomic number of the isotope is reduced by 2 and atomic mass is reduced by 4.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is doubly ionized helium atom. The atomic mass of helium atom is 4 u and atomic number of helium atom is 2. The emission of alpha particle means doubly ionized helium atom will be released from the isotope.

Hence, the emission of the alpha particle will decrease the atomic mass by 4 and atomic number by 2.

Hence, option(a) is correct

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.

5.40 g B determine the number of atoms
sdas [7]
Atomic mass Boron ( B ) = 10.811 u.m.a

10.811 g -------------- 6.02x10²³ atoms
5.40 g ----------------- ?? atoms

5.40 x ( 6.02x10²³) / 10.811 =

3.0069x10²³ atoms

In the reaction mg(s)+2hcl(aq) h2(g)+mgcl2(aq), how many grams of hydrogen gas will be produced from 125.0 ml of a 6.0m hcl in a
Kruka [31]
6.0m(mol/kg) of HCl
125mL H2O = 0.125kg
6mol/kg = n mol/0.125kg, n = 0.75mol
When 0.75mol of HCl reacts, 0.75/2=0.375mol of H2 is produced. H2 = 2g/mol
So, 0.375mol H2 = 0.75g
