Technetium (Tc; Z = 43) is a synthetic element used as a radioactive tracer in medical studies. A Tc atom emits a beta particle (electron) with a kinetic energy (Ek) of $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$ . What is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron (Ek = ½mv²)?

Answer:

$6.762\times 10^{-12} m$ is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a particle, we use the equation given by De-Broglie's wavelength, which is:

$\lambda=\frac{h}{\sqrt{2mE_k}}$

where,

= De-Broglie's wavelength = ?

h = Planck's constant = $6.624\times 10^{-34}Js$

m = mass of beta particle = $9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg$

$E_k$ = kinetic energy of the particle = $4.71\times 10^{-15}J$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\lambda =\frac{6.624\times 10^{-34}Js}{\sqrt{2\times 9.1094\times 10^{-31} kg\times 4.71\times 10^{-15}J}}$

$\lambda = 6.762\times 10^{-12} m$

$6.762\times 10^{-12} m$ is the de Broglie wavelength of this electron.

How do chemists explain on a molecular basis

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

It happens because particles of gas are in constant random motion. Thus they can collide with the walls of the container causing pressure on the walls.

Select the pair that has the larger atom or ion listed first.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Correc option: $Br^- \, , Kr$

Explanation:

size of atom : it says somthing about how many shell present in a particular atom or ion and it can also be evaluated on the basis of radius of atom.

Br^- and Kr has highest number of shell as compared to other group of species .

Na ,S , Mg ,P all are from 3rd period but Kr and Br^- in the 4th period so size of species of this group will more,

Size increases on increasring the shell number
