sergiy2304 [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A radioactive isotope, also known as a radioisotope, radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, is any of several species of the same chemical element with different masses whose nuclei are unstable and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously emitting radiation in the form of alpha, beta, and gamma rays.

Which substance in the reaction serves as the electrophile?'?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Electrophiles are reagents attracted to electrons.

Electrophiles tend to be electron-deficient and carry partial positive charges. They are attracted to species with lone pairs of electrons. For example, protons \text{H}^+ have no electrons and tend to share ones with other species, hence behaving as electrophiles in aqueous reactions. In the reaction between \text{H}^+ and ammonia \text{NH}_3, protons would be attracted to lone electron pairs on nitrogen atoms in ammonia molecules, which carry partial positive charges.

The Lewis Acid-base theory define Acids as species that accept electron pairs in a particular acid-base reaction. Electrophiles, by definition, tend to accept electrons. Lewis acids thus behaves as electrophiles in acid-base reactions. In the previous example, \text{H}^+ demonstrates acidic behavior and can be inferred as an electrophile.

What is the empirical formula of a compound that is made of 3.80g of phosphorus and 0.371g of hydrogen?
lys-0071 [83]

You start by diving each quantity given by the atomic wight of each element:

Phosphorus (P)   \frac{3.8}{31} =0.123

Hydrogen (H)   \frac{0.371}{1} =0.371

Then you divide by the lowest number:

\frac{0.123}{0.123} = 1 for phosphorus

\frac{0.371}{0.123} = 3 for hydrogen

So the empirical formula will be:    

PH_{3}
