What causes the high luster of a metal?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When light is shone on to the surface of a metal, its electrons absorb small amounts of energy and become excited into one of its many empty orbitals. The electrons immediately fall back down to lower energy levels and emit light. This process is responsible for the high luster of metals.

Would you expect manganese(II) oxide, MnO, to react more readily with HF(aq) or NaOH(aq)?
ella [17]

Answer:

NaOH(aq)

Explanation:

NaOH(aq) is known to precipitate Mn^2+ ions according to the following reaction; Mn^2+(aq)+2OH^−(aq)↽−−⇀Mn(OH)2(s)

Hence, manganese(II) oxide reacts more readily with NaOH(aq) under ordinary conditions precipitating the metal hydroxide solid. This is one of the characteristic reactions of Mn^2+.

Which equation represents a transuranium​
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

1) Since you have not provided the equations to select the right one, I am going to explain you the relevant facts that are used to solve this question.

2) The transuranium elements are the chemiical elements with atomic number greater than that of the uranium.

The atomic number of uranium is 92. So, the transuranium elements are the elements with atomic number 93 or greater.

This are some of the transuranium elements:

Neptunio - 93

Plutonium - 94

Americium - 95

Curium - 96

Berkelium - 97

Californium - 98

Einstenium - 99

And so all the known elements (the last one is the 118).

3) In a nuclear reaction the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.

4) Beta decay is the release of a beta particle, which is an electron (considered massles and with charge - 1). So, the beta decay is represented with the symbol:

0

 β, which means 0 mass and charge - 1.

-1

5) This is, then, an example of a β decay equation for one transuranium element:

239              239            0

     Np    →         Pu   +      β

 93                94            -1

As you see 239 = 239 + 0 and 93 = 94 - 1, showing that the total mass number ( shown as superscript to the left of the symbol) and the total atomic number (shown as subscript to the left of the symbol) are conserved.
