How does lanthanide contraction influence the density of period 6 transition element​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kitty [74]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

For example, the atomic radius of the metal zirconium, Zr, (a period-5 transition element) is 155 pm (empirical value) and that of hafnium, Hf, (the corresponding period-6 element) is 159 pm. ... The increase in mass and the unchanged radii lead to a steep increase in density from 6.51 to 13.35 g/cm3.

The number of protons in a neutral atom is balanced by an equal number of
anastassius [24]
There would be an equal amounts of ELECTRONS.

In order for the atom to be neutral it would imply that the number of protons (positive particles) and the number of electrons (negative particles) are equal since the neutrons are without charge.

What is the nuclear binding energy for thorium-234? 2.78 × 10-10 J 3.36 × 10-14 J 1.67 × 1017 J 5.35 x 10-23 J
grin007 [14]
The correct option is A.
To calculate the binding energy, you have to find the mass defect first.
Mass defect = [mass of proton and neutron] - Mass of the nucleus
The molar mass of thorium that we are given in the question is 234, the atomic number of thorium is 90, that means the number of neutrons in thorium is 
234 - 90 = 144.
The of proton in thourium is 90, same as the atomic number.
Mass defect = {[90 * 1.00728] +[144* 1.00867]} - 234
Note that each proton has a mass of 1.00728 amu and each neutron has the mass of 1.00867 amu.
Mass defect = [90.6552 + 145.24848] - 234 = 1.90368 amu.
Note that the unit of the mass is in amu, it has to be converted to kg
To calculate the mass in kg
Mass [kg] = 1.90368 * [1kg/6.02214 * 10^-26 = 3.161135 * 10^-27
To calculate the binding energy
E = MC^2
C = Speed of light constant = 2.9979245 *10^8 m/s2
E = [3.161135 * 10^-27] * [2.9979245 *10^8]^2
E = 2.84108682069 * 10^-10.
Note that we arrive at this answer because of the number of significant figures that we used.
So, from the option given, Option A is the nearest to the calculated value and is our answer for this problem.
