Answer:

Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u

(plutonium-239)

Explanation:

In alpha decay, the element subtracts 4 from its mass number and subtracts 2 from its atomic number.

So if we end with Uranium-235, which has an atomic number of 92:

235+4 = 239

92+2 = 94

Element 94 is Pu, plutonium, and its mass could very well be 239 if it's an isotope. So the answer is Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u.

Using the principles of VSEPR theory, you can predict the geometry around any atom in any molecule, no matter how complex. Enant
Kaylis [27]

Explanation:

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule, with two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons like that in water. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp hybridised into two identical bonds and two identical bonds in acetylene.

The steric integer is therefore 2 because only sigma bonds are engaged in deciding hybridization, and its structure is linear.

The C atom is sp2 hybridised in ethene with single pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

Thus the steric integer is 3, and its structure is planar trigonal.

The C atom is sp2 hybridized in ethene, with one pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.

The steric integer would therefore be 3 and its structure is planar trigonal.

The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

The C atom is sp3 in a methane ring, with 4 bond pairs and no solitary pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

How do the properties of elements in the same column of the periodic table compare
Alik [6]
The columns of the periodic table, also referred to as "groups" contain elements with similar reactive properties, due to these elements having a similar configuration of electrons in their outer shell.

How many grams hydrogen in 4.5 mol H2SO4
swat32
H2SO4 ---> 2H^+ + SO4^2-

Hence n H+ = 9 mols

Mass of H = nM = (9*1) = 9g


Alternately

mass of H2SO4= nM= 4.5*98= 441

Mass of H= mass h2so4 * molar mass of H/molar mass of h2so4
Mass of H= 441 * 2/98 = 9g
