Which of the following always changes when transmutation occurs?

Chemistry
1 answer:
mart [117]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The atomic number

Explanation:

Transmutation refers to the conversion of one chemical element into another. A transmutation usually involves a change in the structure of atomic nuclei and this may be induced by a nuclear reaction.

Transmutation was first achieved in 1919 by Lord Rutherford when he successfully changed a nitrogen nucleus to an oxygen-18 isotope, producing a proton in the process.

Since transmutation often involves changing one atom into another, the atomic number or mass number of the original element always changes (to form a new element) in the process.

Answer:

You would put the 4 quantum numbers corresponding to the electrons being described above

Explanation:

Quantum numbers refer to electrons, so I'll assume you mean the electron number that would correspond with the atomic number of the element. Quantum numbers are basically like an address for electrons, giving us information about the location of an electron from most general to most specific.

Which of the following is not among the advantages of generating nuclear energy?
WARRIOR [948]

B

While nuclear energy does not pollute the environment, it poses the risk of radiation which is harmful to organisms because it causes lethal mutations.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission, for example, releases neutrons and other particles (at very high speeds) that can ionize materials including DNA. This will induce mutations of DNA most of which are usually lethal to organisms. Gamma and X- rays are also produced by fusion reactions and  if exposed to organisms also cause mutations on DNA through double stranded breaks. Therefore, the risk of an accident of a nuclear reactor can have immense ramifications on the ecosystems.
