Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Atomic size increases down the group due to the addition of more shells.

As more shells are added and repulsion of inner electrons become more significant, atomic size increases down the group. However, across the period, atomic size decreases due to increase in effective nuclear charge without any increase in the number of shells. This causes increased attraction between the nucleus and the outermost shell thereby decreasing the size of the atom.

Ionization energy decreases down the group because the outermost electron is more shielded by inner electrons making it easier for this outermost electron to be lost. Across the period, ionization energy increases due to increase in effective nuclear charge which makes it more difficult to remove the outermost electron due to increased nuclear attraction.

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Draw the alkyl bromide(s) you would use in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate
Rudik [331]

The structure of the alkyl bromides used in a malonic ester synthesis of ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate are as drawn in the attached image.

<h3>Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate by Malonic ester synthesis.</h3>

The malonic ester synthesis is a chemical reaction characterized by the alkylation of diethyl malonate or a similar ester of malonic acid at the carbon alpha (directly adjacent) to both carbonyl groups, and subsequently converted to a substituted acetic acid.

Hence, it follows from the structure of Ethyl 2-methyl-4-pentenoate that the alkyl bromides used are Ethyl bromide and methyl bromide.

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowi
cluponka [151]

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.
