"A nuclear reaction of significant historical note occurred in 1932, when a beryllium target was bombarded with alpha particles.

Analysis of the experiment indicated that the following reaction occurred: 4 2He + 9 4Be → 12 6C + ? What is missing in this reaction?"

Answer: _{0}^{1}\textrm{e} is missing

Explanation:

In a nuclear reaction, the total mass and total atomic number remains the same.

For the given reaction:

^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}+^9_4\textrm{Be}\rightarrow ^{12}_{6}\textrm{C}+^A_Z\textrm{X}

To calculate A:

Total mass on reactant side = total mass on product side

4 + 9 = 12 + A

A = 1

To calculate Z:

Total atomic number on reactant side = total atomic number on product side

2 + 4 = 6 + Z

Z = 0

^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}+^9_4\textrm{Be}\rightarrow ^{12}_{6}\textrm{C}+^1_0\textrm{e}

Hence, missing is _{0}^{1}\textrm{e}.

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is P^{3-}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6

Part B:

Charge is Mg^{2+}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^6

Part C:

Charge is Se^{2-}

Configuration is 1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is P^{3-}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is Mg^{2+}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^6

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is Se^{2-}

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6

Arsenic(III) sulfide sublimes readily, even below its melting point of 320 °C. The molecules of the vapor phase are found to eff
dezoksy [38]

The molecular formula : As₄S₆

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Rate of effusion of arsenic(III) sulfide = 0.28 times the rate of effusion of Ar atoms

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

Graham's law: the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its molar masses or  

the effusion rates of two gases = the square root of the inverse of their molar masses:  

\rm \dfrac{r_1}{r_2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{M_2}{M_1} }

or  

\rm M_1\times r_1^2=M_2\times r_2^2

Input the value :

1 = Arsenic(III) sulfide

2 = Ar

MM Ar = 40 g/mol

0.28 = √(40/M₁)

M₁=40 : 0.28²

M₁=510 g/mol

The empirical formula of arsenic(III) sulfide =  As₂S₃

(Empirical formula)n = molecular formula

( As₂S₃)n = 510 g/mol

(246.02 g/mol)n = 510 g/mol

n = 2

So the molecular formula : As₄S₆
