Please help me is my final 2. Which of the following is a fission reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141,  Krypton-92 and three neutrons

Explanation:

A fission reaction is said to have occurred when an unstable nucleus is bombarded with a neutron such that it disintegrates into daughter nuclei and produces more neutrons in the process. Hence, Uranium-235 absorbing a neutron and breaking into Barium-141,  Krypton-92 and three neutrons is a fission reaction.

This fission reaction is often a self sustaining reaction. The neutrons produced in the reaction bombards more of the parent nucleus and the process continues indefinitely(chain reaction).

Control rods and moderators are used to keep the chain reaction in check.

Which electron configuration represents the electrons of an atom in an excited state? * 2-3 2-7-1 2-8 2-8-1​
Lemur [1.5K]

2-7-1

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Electrons can move the shell up or down by releasing energy or absorbing energy  

Excited electrons show higher electron transfer to the shell by absorbing energy  

So it can be concluded that there are 2 conditions:  

Ground state is the state of electrons filling shell with the lowest energy levels.  

Excited state is the state of electrons which occupies a higher energy level  

The state of excited electrons can be seen from the presence of electrons which do not fill the skin completely but fill the skin afterward  

2-7-1

From its 8 electron configuration, filling 3 shells, 2 electrons in the firs shell, 7 electrons in the second shell and 1 electron in the third shell

the electrons in the third shell should fill the electrons in the second shell first according to Aufbau rule (lower energy shells)

\tt  1s^22s^22p^4\rightarrow ground~state\\\\1s^22s^22p^33s^1\rightarrow excited~state

Metals posses varying reduction potentials. Iron can reduce Cu+2 (aq) to copper metal. Silver can reduce Au+ (aq) to gold metal.
natta225 [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The true statement is iron can reduce Au^+(aq) to gold metal

<u>Explanation:</u>

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

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.

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

We are given:

Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.

The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

Au

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u>  Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

Cu(s)+Na^+(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}

<u>Option 2:</u>  Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

Fe(s)+3Au^+(aq.)\rightarrow Fe^{3+}(aq.)+3Au(s)

<u>Option 3:</u>  Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

Ag(s)+Fe^{3+}(aq.)\rightarrow \text{ No reaction}

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce Au^+(aq) to gold metal

The table below provides some information about an unidentified element. Based on this information, the unidentified element is
Leona [35]

In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group  is equal to the group number.

Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4

Come up with 2 examples of each law motion below: <br><br> 1st law:<br> 2nd law:<br> 3rd law:
Sloan [31]
1st law: Inertia, If you roll a ball it will not stop unless something blocks it by force.

2nd law: Force and Acceleration, when you’re riding a bike you are pushing the pedal with ur muscle which means you’re using force. Everytime you push the pedal the bike goes faster and faster which explains acceleration.

3rd law: Action and Reaction, If you run you’re feet pushes the ground (action) when your feet touches the ground it pushes you forward (reaction)
