The radioactivity of U-235 is of low intensity. Why then were the people of Hiroshima exposed to high intensity radiation in the

days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped?
Chemistry
1 answer:
Marina86 [1]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.

Elena-2011 [213]
I’m going to say the answer is most likely X because memetic energy is energy being used at that moment. Because the coaster is going fastest at X we can assume that the answer is X

Which of the following isoelectronic series is correctly ranked from largest ionic radius to smallest ionic radius? 1. N 3−, O 2
love history [14]

Answer:

<u>Option 1</u>:  N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²    

Explanation:

<u>Ionic radius is the radius of an atom´s ion in ionic crystal structure</u>.<u> </u><u><em>In an ion that lose an electron, to form a cation, the radius of the ion gets smaller</em></u><em>, </em>because the repulsion between electrons decrease because fewer electrons are present. Conversely, <u><em>adding on electron to a neutral atom, to form an anion, causes electron - electron repulsions to increase, so the size of the radius of the ion gets bigger.</em></u>                  

<u><em>Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have the same number of electrons in their electronic shells but have different overall charges, because of their different atomic numbers</em></u>.                        

<u><em>In a isolelectronic series (same number of electrons),</em></u> <u><em>the increase of the positive charge (given by the number of protons in the nucleus), will cause a decrease in radius </em></u>beacuse the greater electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge will have the smallest ionic radius and the ion with the smallest nulear charge will have the largest ionic radius.  

<u>We will use this principle to solve our problem</u>.  

In our case, the given ions are:  

  • N⁻³ :    Z = 7,  e⁻ = 10
  • O⁻²:     Z= 8,   e⁻ =10
  • F⁻:       Z = 9,  e⁻ = 10
  • Na⁺:    Z= 11,   e⁻ = 10
  • Mg⁺²:  Z=12,   e⁻ =10

where Z= number of protons, and e⁻ = number of electrons.

<em><u>Hence the decreasing order of ionic radius is:</u></em>

N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²  

Have a nice day!

The last element in any period always has:
brilliants [131]

Answer: The correct option is The properties of a noble gas.

Explanation: There are 7 periods in the periodic table.

The last element of each period are Helium (He), Neon (Ne), Argon (Ar), Krypton (Kr), Xenon (Xe), Radon (Rn) and Ununoctium (Uuo).

  • The electronic configuration for Helium is 1s^2. For He, The outermost electrons are 2.
  • The electronic configuration for all the other elements is ns^2ns^6 ( where, n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively). For all the other gases, the outermost electrons are 8.

All these elements have stable electronic configuration and are not reactive in nature. Hence, they are considered as noble gases.

Therefore, the last element of each period always have the properties of a noble gas.

What is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction?
Mariulka [41]

"The reaction will absorb energy" is the best conclusion according to the energy diagram of the chemical reaction.

<u>Option: B</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical bonds in the reactions are broken and formed as per process and contributed by three major steps: reactants, transition phase and product formation. Here transition phase is in equilibrium stage drived by activation energy, where bond is partially formed and partially broken, located at higher energy level then the starters.

The reactant's energy level is less relative to the products as seen in the endothermic reactions' energy diagram, which depicts that  the products are less balanced than reactants. Here when the reaction is forced to the forward direction, then it direct towards the more unbalance entities. As energy is absorbed in the endothermic reaction from surrounding, thus the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction is positive.
