Answer: 153

Explanation:

californium is a synthetic radioactive element found on the bottom row of the periodic table, along with other actinides.

It was first discovered in 1950 at the University of California Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley by bombarding curium with alpha particles (helium nuclei). Pure californium metal has a silvery-white appearance and is soft enough to be easily cut with razor blade.

In initial experiments with californium in its concentrated form began in 1958.

Since then, 20 isotopes of californium have been characterize, with mass numbers ranging from 237 to 256. One of these isotopes is californium-252, which was first isolated from a neutron-irradiated sample of plutonium-239. As an exclusively synthetically made element (it cannot be found in nature),

californium-252 is very rare an is produced via neutron bombardment in high flux isotope reactor or particle accelerators.

On this,page we walk through some of the properties and uses of his unique isotope and provide additional resources for your reference.

Hope this helps! :)

According to the law of conservation of mass, what should the product side of this single replacement reaction look like? A. H2

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: The product side must be $ZnCl_2+H_2$

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction.

$AB+C\rightarrow CB+A$

Metal C is more reactive than metal A.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

When zinc metal reacts with hydrochloric acid, it leads to the production of zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. The chemical reaction follows:

$Zn+2HCl\rightarrow ZnCl_2+H_2$

On reactant side:

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

On product side:

Number of zinc atoms = 1

Number of hydrogen atoms = 2

Number of chlorine atoms = 2

Hence, the product side must be $ZnCl_2+H_2$

An atom X has three electrons in its outermost shell. Which ion will most likely be formed by X?

DedPeter [7]

Answer: X3+

Explanation:

Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).

In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).

X --> X3+ + 3e-

Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.

Which of the following groups of elements have no electronegativity?

natulia [17]

Answer: Noble gases

Explanation:

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to gain an electron. Noble gases already have 8 electrons, so they don’t need to gain electrons. If they don’t gain electrons, it has no electronegativity.
