What happens in nuclear decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
NARA [144]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Nuclear decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom is unstable and spontaneously emits energy in the form of radiation. The result is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus...

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.

The magnitude of an earthquake, measured on the Richter Scale, is M log1o T where / is the amplitude registered on a seismograph
just olya [345]

<u>Answer:</u> The magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Richter scale is defined as the scale which expresses the magnitude of earthquake on the basis of the seismograph oscillations.

The equation used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake on Richter scale is:

M=log_{10}\frac{I}{I_o}

where

I = amplitude registered on seismograph 100 km away from seismic center = 10,000,000I_o

I_o = small amplitude

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\log_{10}(\frac{10000000I_o}{I_o})\\\\M=7

Hence, the magnitude rating for an earthquake causing an amplitude 10,000,000 times I_o is 7.
