U^235Number of protons = 92 pNumber of electrons = 92 eNumber of neutrons = 235 – 92 = 143n
U^238Number of protons = 92pNumber of electrons = 92eNumber of neutrons = 238 – 92 = 146n
Electron configuration of U atom U = 92 U = [Rn] 5f^6 6d^0 7s^0 U = [Rn] 5f^36d^17s^2, 7s is completely filled and others are less than half filled. 
(_92^238)U  Decays to (_90^234)ThIt loses 2 protons, 2 electrons and loses 2 neutrons Th = [Rn] 6d^2 7s^2 There is no electron in 5f subshell and 6d contains 2e^-, 7s completely filled

Explain why it is harder to remove an inner shell electrons than a valence electron from an atom
VMariaS [17]
<span> It makes sense that an inner shell electron would be tougher to remove than a valence electron because the inner shell electron is closer to the positive nucleus of the atom. Seeing as an electron caries a negative charge it would be too attracted to the positive core to leave readily. Also, the inner shell electrons are constantly repelling electrons outside of it's energy level (however the reason these electrons outside innershell energy levels don't simply fly away is the charge of the positive core overcomes the smaller charges of the comparably negligible inner shell electrons, but that repulsion is still there so keep that in mind) </span>

If a hydrogen atom has its electron in the n = 3 state, how much energy in ev is needed to ionize it?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The energy of the hydrogen atom will be -0.85 ev.

Ionization, also known as ionization, would be the phenomenon by which an atom or molecule gains or loses electrons to acquire a negative and positive charge, frequently in conjunction with those other chemical changes. Ions are the name for the electrically charged molecular or atom that results.

These chemicals are known as ionic compounds, with table salt serving as an example. Ionization would be the process of removing electrons from such an element as well as a molecule as well as the dissociation of an ionic material, such as salt, itself into the individual ions in a solution like water.

The energy of hydrogen atom will be calculated by using the formula:

E_{n} = -13.6 ev / n^{2}

where, E_{n} = energy of nth level, n is the state.

It is given that, n = 3 .

Now put the value of n in above equation.

E_{4} = -13.6 ev / 4^{2}\\E_{4} = -13.6 ev  / 16\\E_{4} = -0.85 ev

Therefore, the energy of the hydrogen atom will be -0.85 ev.

How many molecules of oxygen are needed to make 3.5 oxygens of water?​
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

57.6g

Explanation:

So, if in one mole of water, 16 g of oxygen atom is present. Then, in 3.6 moles of water, the mass of oxygen present will be 3.6×16=57.6g. Therefore, the amount of oxygen present in 3.6 g water is option (B)- 57.6 g.

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.

Explanation:

In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.

Help me answer this question please?
Tema [17]

Answer:

I think D

Explanation:

Ok, I'm not sure but it sounds right ish you should check a practice video or something. It might also be B or C but im pretty certain it isnt A just ask yourself is the student measuring it in newtons? Is that important in the process? What about if the student is considering the affect of mass is it important? Good luck srry if im not much of help! If this is like A SUPER IMPORTANT TEST OR SOMETHING RLLLLLLLY IMPORTANT just wait for another answer gl!
