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.

Which element requires the least i.e. potassium or gallium why
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Potassium

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chem</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Periodic Trends
  • Ionization Energy - energy required to remove an electron from a given element
  • Coulomb's Law
  • Shielding Effect
  • Z-effective and Forces of Attraction

Explanation:

The Periodic Trend for 1st Ionization Energy is increasing up and to the right. That means He would have the highest I.E and therefore take the most amount of energy to remove an electron.

Potassium and Gallium are both in Period 4. Potassium is element 19 and Gallium is element 31.

Potassium's electron configuration is [Ne] 4s¹ and Gallium's electron configurations is [Ne] 4s²3d¹⁰4p¹. Since both are in Period 4, they have the same number of core e⁻. Therefore, the shielding effect is the same.

However, since Gallium is element 31, it has 31 protons compared to Potassium, which is element 19 and has 19 protons. Gallium would have a greater Zeff than Potassium as it has more protons. Therefore, the FOA between the electrons and nucleus of Ga is much stronger than that of K. Thus, Ga requires <em>more</em> energy to overcome those FOA to remove the 4p¹ e⁻. Since K has less protons, it will have a smaller Zeff and thus less FOA between the e⁻ and nucleus, requiring <em>less</em> energy to remove the 4s¹ e⁻.

What produces the magnetic force of an electromagnet?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

movement of charged particles through the wire .

Explanation:

When electricity is passed through the wire of electromagnet , moving electrons of the wire produces magnetic field . This magnetic field in increased due to high permeability of soft iron of the electromagnet . It is this magnetic field which creates magnetic force .

Calculate the number-average molecular weight of a random nitrile rubber [poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene) copolymer] in which the
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

106,504 g/mol

Explanation:

The two repeat units at the polymer are the acrylonitrile and the butadiene. If the fraction of repeat of butadiene is 0.27, the fraction of repeat of units of acrylonitrile must be 0.73.

The acrylonitrile repeat unit has 3 carbons atoms, 1 nitrogen atom, and 3 hydrogen atoms. So, the molecular weigth for it is:

mac = 3*mC + 1*mN + 3*mH

mC = 12 g/mol; mN = 14 g/mol; mH = 1g/mol

mac = 3*12 + 14 + 3*1 = 53 g/mol

The butadiene repeat unit has 4 carbons atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms. Thus, the molecular weight is:

mbu = 4*12 + 6*1 = 54 g/mol

The average repeat unit molecular weight is the fractions multiplied by the molecular weight of the repeat unities:

m = 0.73*53 + 0.27*54 = 53.27 g/mol

The number-average molecular weight is the average repeat unit molecular weight  multiplied by the degree of polymerization:

M = 53.27*2000

M = 106,504 g/mol
