Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper U right arrow superscript 4 subscript 2 upper H e. What

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

$\rm_{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

Explanation:

The unbalanced nuclear equation is

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + X$

Let's write X as a nuclear symbol.

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} + _{Z}^{A}\text{X}$

The main point to remember in balancing nuclear equations is that the sums of the superscripts and of the subscripts must be the same on each side of the reaction arrow.

Then

235 = 4 + A , so A = 235 - 4 = 231, and

92 = 2 + Z , so Z = 92 - 2 = 90

And your nuclear equation becomes

$\rm _{92}^{235}\text{U} \longrightarrow \, _{2}^{4}\text{He} +\, _{90}^{231}\text{X}$

Element 90 is thorium, so

$\rm X = _{90}^{231}\text{Th}$

A neutral atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 would most likely form a bond with an atom having the configuration

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The configuration of the atom would be 2-8-2.

Explanation:

Any atom of an element combines with other element to complete its octet and become stable.

The electron configuration of the given atom is 2-8-6. That means the atom has 6 electrons in its outermost shell. To become stable the atom should have 8 electrons in its outermost shell. The given atom has 6 electrons so it either lose 6 electrons or gain 2 electrons to complete its octet.

But we know the atom having 5,6,7 electrons in its outermost shell they do not lose, they gain either 3 or 2 or 1 electrons to complete its octet.

So we say that atom with the electron configuration 2-8-6 bond with the atom having electron configuration 2-8-2.

How many grams are in 44.8 liters of nitrogen gas, n2?<br> a) 56g<br> b) 27g<br> c) 36g<br> d) 112g

kkurt [141]

a) 56g

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

At STP,

22.4 L of N₂ = 1 mol

We have given 44.8 L of N₂, therefore,

44.8 L of N₂ = $\frac{44.8}{22.4}$
