The mercury-201 nuclide radioactively decays by electron capture. Write a balanced nuclear chemical equation that describes this

process.
Chemistry

ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that

²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e   ⇒  ²⁰¹₇₉Au

As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).

Why are the transition metals able to show different properties like varying color and paramagnetism ?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Colors of transition metal compounds are due to two types of electronic transitions. Due to the presence of unpaired d electrons, transition metals can form paramagnetic compounds. Transition metals are conductors of electricity, possess high density and high melting and boiling points.

Lana balanced an equation so that the result was 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr. Which most likely represents the starting e
seropon [69]

Answer:

C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr

Explanation:

The term balancing of chemical reaction equation has a unique meaning in chemistry. What it actually means is to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the left hand side of reaction equation becomes equal to the number of atoms of the same element on the right hand side of the reaction equation.

When we look at the equation; C2H3Br + O2 → CO2 + H2O + HBr, the number of atoms of each element on the left and right hand sides of the given equation are not the same hence the equation is unbalanced.

If we look at the equation; 2C2H3Br + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O + 2HBr, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction equation are now equal, thus the later equation is the balanced version of the former.

The critical point of carbon dioxide is 304 k and 73 atm. under which conditions is carbon dioxide a liquid? i. 303 k and 73 atm
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
Answer is: a) I only.
Above critical temperature of CO₂, a gas cannot be liquefied no matter how much pressure is applied. Temperature and pressure above its critical point is called supercritical fluid and this is <span>intermediate between gaseous and liquid states.</span>
