Answer:

D

Explanation:

In a Helium (He) atom, the atomic structure of the atom has 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons. For an element X to be a Helium (He) atom, it must possess 2 protons. The number of neutrons present will determine its stability either if its probably radioactive or a natural occurring inert gas.

In option 1,

We have H-2. The symbol "H" is used to denote the element hydrogen in the periodic table and hydrogen has only 1 protons and 1 neutron making its mass number 2.

Option 2,

He -2 : here in this option, we have a helium atom, but with mass number of 2 only. Judging from the formula of mass number = protons + neutrons, we already have proton as 2, hence the number of neutrons there is zero (0)

Option 3,

He - 3 : just like in option 2, the only difference here is that the mass number is 3 hence making the number of neutrons just 1.

Option 4,

He - 4 : This option met the requirements of having 2 protons and 2 neutrons making a total of 4 which corresponds to the mass number.

Baking soda (nahco3) is an active ingredient in some antacids. determine the percent composition of oxygen in baking soda.
telo118 [61]
Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:

22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol

The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:

3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol

The percentage composition by mass is:

47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)

4. Which of the following statements explains the cause of lanthanide contraction?
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

B. PROTONS EXHIBIT STRONGER PULL ON OUTER f ORBITALS

Explanation:

Lanthanide contraction is the greater than normal decrease in the ionic radius of the lanthanide series from atomic number 57 to atomic number 71. This decrease is rather not expected of the ionic radii of these elements and they result in the greater decrease in the subsequent series of the lanthanides from the atomic number 72. The cause of which is as a result of the poor shielding effects of the nuclear charge around the electrons of the f orbitals. So therefore, protons are strongly pulled out of the 4f orbital and as a result of the poor shielding effect which causes the electrons of the 6s orbitals to be drawn more closer to the nucleus and hence resulting in a smaller atomic radii. It is worthy to note that the shielding effects of the inner electrons decreasing from s orbital to the f orbital; that is s > p > d > f. So from the decrease in the shielding effects from s to the f orbitals, lanthanide contraction results from the inability of the orbitals far away from s like the 4f orbiatls to shield the outermost shells of the lanthanide elements. So the cause of lanthanide contraction is the action of the protons which strongly pull the electrons of the f orbitals because of the poor shielding effects due to the distance of this orbital from the nucleus.
