The water molecule<span> has two </span>hydrogen<span> atoms joined to one </span>oxygen<span> atom by single covalent bonds. </span>Because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen<span>, the electrons of the covalent bond spend </span>more <span>time closer to the </span>oxygen<span> then </span>hydrogen<span> which creates a polar covalent bond. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!</span>
Answer: ₉₈²⁵³Cf
253 is a superscript to the left of the symbol, Cf, which represents the mass number, and 98 is a subscript to the left of the same symbol, which represents the atomic number.
Explanation:
1) The alpha decay equation shows that the isotope Fm - 257, whose nucleus has 100 protons and 157 neutrons, emitted an alpha particle (a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons).
2) Therefore:
i) the mass number decreased in 4, from 257 to 257 - 4 = 253.
2) the atomic number decreased in 2, from 100 to 100 - 2 = 98.
3) Hence the formed atom has atomic number 98, which is californium, Cf, and the isotope is californium - 253.
4) The item that completes the given alpha decay reaction is:
₉₈²⁵³ Cf.
5) The complete alfpha decay reaction is:
₁₀₀²⁵⁷ Fm → ₉₈²⁵³Cf + ₂⁴He
You can verify the mass balance:
257 = 253 + 4, and
100 = 98 + 2
Answer:
The water makes your individual hairs stick close together. ... When more light is absorbed by your wet hair, less light gets reflected back to your eyes. The result is that your hair appears darker than when it's dry.
