<span>Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: </span>₈₄²¹⁸Po → ₈₂²¹⁴Pb + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>

Lead can be prepared from galena [lead(II) sulfide] by first roasting the galena in oxygen gas to form lead(II) oxide and sulfur
Vesna [10]

Answer:

a) Step 1:

2PbS(g)+3O_2(g)\overset{roasting}\rightarrow 2PbO(s)+2SO_2(g)

Step 2:

2PbO(s)+PbS(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 3Pb(l)+SO_2(g)

b) The overall balanced reaction for given process is ;

3PbS(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 3Pb(l)+3SO_2(g)

Explanation:

a)

Galena = PbS

Lead(II) oxide = PbO

Sulfur dioxide = SO_2

Step 1:

Roasting the galena in oxygen gas to form lead(II) oxide and sulfur dioxide.

Balanced equation of step 1:

2PbS(g)+3O_2(g)\overset{roasting}\rightarrow 2PbO(s)+2SO_2(g)..[1]

Step 2:

Heating the metal oxide with more galena forms the molten metal and more sulfur dioxide.

Balanced equation of step 2:

2PbO(s)+PbS(s)\overset{\Delta }\rightarrow 3Pb(l)+SO_2(g)..[2]

b)

For over all reaction add [1] and [2]. The overall balanced reaction for given process is ;

3PbS(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 3Pb(l)+3SO_2(g)

Draw the 2 resonance structures of Malachite Green, and indicate which one is the equivalent contributor, and which one is the m
Yuri [45]

The two structures at the right of the image are the greatest contributors to the resonance structure of malachite green.

<h3>What is resonance structure?</h3>

In some cases, one single structure is insufficient to explain the properties of a substance. Now, we know that in such cases we have to invoke more than one structure in order to efficiently discuss the chemistry of the compounds in question.

In this case, we can see from the image that the three structures of malachite green are all resonance structures. However, the two structures at the right hand side are the greatest contributors because they are more conjugated. Hence, the two structures at the right of the image are the greatest contributors to the resonance structure of malachite green.
