NikAS [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Explanation:

Let ⁿₐX be the isotope.

Thus, the equation can be written as follow:

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

Next, we shall determine the value of 'n' and 'a'. This can be obtained as follow:

222 = 4 + n

Collect like terms

222 – 4 = n

218 = n

Thus,

n = 218

86 = 2 + a

Collect like terms

86 – 2 = a

84 = a

Thus,

a = 84

ⁿₐX => ²¹⁸₈₄Po

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ⁿₐX

²²²₈₆Rn —> ⁴₂α + ²¹⁸₈₄Po

Which atom in the ground state has a partially filled second electron shell?
serious [3.7K]
Atoms have electrons filled in energy shells.
1. H - hydrogen atom has one electron in the First energy shell. Therefore hydrogen has a partially filled first energy shell

2.Li - Li electron configuration is 2,1
The outermost energy shell is the second energy shell in which there is only one electron
Therefore the second energy shell is partially filled. This is the correct answer

3. K - electron configuration is 2,8,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the fourth energy shell which is partially filled. The second energy shell is completely filled

4.Na - electron configuration is 2,8,1
The outermost energy shell is the third energy shell which is partially filled
Second energy shell is completely filled

From the given options Li is the only element with a partially filled second energy shell
Answer is Li

Hydrogen gas and fluorine gas will react to form hydrogen fluoride gas. What is the standard free energy change for this reactio
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

\Delta G=-541.4kJ/mol

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out firstly necessary to write out the described chemical reaction as shown below:

H_2+F_2\rightarrow 2HF

Now, we set up the expression for the calculation of the standard free energy change, considering the free energy of formation of each species, specially those of H2 and F2 which are both 0 because they are pure elements:

\Delta G=2\Delta G_f^{HF}-(\Delta G_f^{H_2}+\Delta G_f^{F_2})\\\\\Delta G=2*-270.70kJ/mol-(0kJ/mol+0kJ/mol)\\\\\Delta G=-541.4kJ/mol

Regards!
