During a phenomenon called beta decay the neutron of the isotope uranium 237 emits/releases an electron causing an increase of atomic number. With the reference of a periodic table the "new" element is Neptunium or Np-237.
It is clear that the core is subject to change
The strength of an Arrhenius base determines percentage of ionization of base and the number of OH⁻ ions formed.
Strong base completely ionize in water and gives a lot of hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example sodium
hydroxide: NaOH(aq) → Na⁺(aq)
+ OH⁻(aq).
Weak base partially ionize in water and gives a few hydroxide ions (OH⁻), for example ammonia: NH₃ + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).
Answer:
Polar covalent bond.
Explanation:
When the bond is formed between the atoms by sharing the electrons the bond thus have covalent character. The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive. When the electronegativity difference is less than 0.4 the bond is non polar covalent.
When bonded atoms have greater electronegativity difference i.e 2 or greater than two the bond is ionic because electron is transfer from low electronegative atom to highest electronegative atom.
For example:
In water the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and hydrogen is 2.2. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and hydrogen becomes partial positive.
In case of H₂, Cl₂, Br₂ the bond has very high covalent character because of zero electronegativity difference.
