Balancing nuclear equations is slightly different than balancing chemical equations. The major difference is that in nuclear rea

ctions we must account for protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as write out the symbols for various chemical elements. In a nuclear equation, the products and reactants are symbolized as AZX where X is the chemical symbol for the element, A is the mass number, and Z is the atomic number. There are two main rules to remember when balancing nuclear equations:
The total of the superscripts (mass numbers, A) in the reactants and products must be the same.
The total of the subscripts (atomic numbers, Z) in the reactants and products must be the same

What is the value of A in the following nuclear reaction?

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +AZX

Answer:

The correct answer is - 4.

Explanation:

As we known and also given that the total of the superscripts that is mass numbers, A in the reactants and products must be the same.The mass of products A can understand and calculated by this -

The sum of the product mass number of products = mass of reactant

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +AZX is the equation,

Solution:

Mass of reactants = 237

Mass of products are - Pa =233 and A = ?

233 + A = 237

A = 237 - 233

A = 4

So the equation will be:

237Np93 →233 Pa91 +4He2 (atomic number Z = 2 ∵ difference in the atomic number of reactant and products)

Which statement is true about the ionic size of the elements in a group as one moves from top to bottom in that group?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
  • The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
  • The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
  • Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
  • For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.

Which explains how burning a magnesium ribbon highlights a toolmark?
Setler [38]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The magnesium ribbon, <u>D. It forms a material to cast the tool mark</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When a magnesium ribbon is burnt in the presence of oxygen it gives out strong light and heat is produced. Apart from it, it leads to the production of substance called as magnesium oxide which is formed as the product due to the reaction of magnesium with the oxygen present in the air.

Tool marks are the mark which is created by tools while using them. In order to identify or locate them castes made up of magnesium oxide is utilized. When this is pasted on the suspected area, the tool mark of the suspected tool gets pasted on it.
