Answer:

Beta particles and neutrons

Explanation:

Lead is not particular good for shielding beta particles and neutrons. Lead shielding is used for shielding x-rays and gamma-rays due to its high density and atomic mass.

Materials made with lead are used by people dealing with all kinds of radioactive particles to prevent radioactive poisonings.

But lead cannot effectively protect against beta particles and neutrons.

Suppose a new group 5A element is discovered. Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) reveals that its last two peaks occur at 1370 kJ/
iren2701 [21]

Answer: The average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element =

1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.

Explanation:

The average valence electron energy =  (number of electrons in s subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) + (number of electrons in p subshell  x  Ionization energy of that subshell) / total number of electrons in both subshells of the valence shells.

The 5A elements are non-metals like Nitrogen and Phosphorus with the metallic character increasing as you go down the group, So a new 5A element will have characteristics of its group with 5 valence electron in its outermost shell represented as ns2 np3

Therefore  the average valence electron energy (AVEE) of this element will be calculated as

The average valence electron energy = (2 x 1370  kJ/mol + 3 x 777 kJ/mol.) / 5

2740+2331/ 5 =5071/5

=1014.2 KJ/ mol  or  1.0142mJ/mol.
