Answer:

X represents barium - 141 nucleus.

Written as: (141, 56) Ba

Explanation:

In nuclear fission reaction, due to the fact that the process produces more neutrons, a nuclear chain reaction can possibly occurr. Now, a chain reaction is a one whereby the material that begins the reaction will also be one of the products and it can start another reaction.

Now, for the nuclear chain reaction for the fission of uranium-235, its nucleus absorbs a neutron after which it splits into a krypton - 92 nucleus and a barium - 141 nucleus. Thereafter it releases three more neutrons.

Thus, X is the image represents barium - 141 nucleus.

(141,56) Ba

Answer:

The total pressure after one half is 6.375 atm.

Explanation:

The initial pressure of product is increases while the pressure of reactant would decrease.

Balanced chemical equation:

2N₂O  → 2N₂ + O₂

The pressure of N₂O is 5.10 atm. The change in pressure would be,

N₂O = -2x

N₂ = +2x

O₂ = +x

The total pressure will be

P(total) = P(N₂O) + P(N₂)  + P(O₂)

P(total) = ( 5.10 - 2x) + (2x)  + (x)

P(total) = 5.10 + x

After one half life:

P(N₂O)  = 1/2(5.10) = 5.10 - 2x

x = 5.10 - 1/2(5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 0.5 (5.10) /2

x = 5.10 - 2.55 / 2

x = 2.55 /2 = 1.275 atm

Thus the total pressure will be,

P(total) = 5.10 + x

P(total) = 5.10 + 1.275

P(total) = 6.375 atm

<span>All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.<span>To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.</span><span>A giant metallic lattice – the <span>crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) </span>surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).</span><span>The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).</span><span>These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.</span><span>There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these <span>free electrons </span>(mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons)<span> (–)</span> and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond.
