1 answer:

6 0

<h3>As fluorine sits atop chlorine in the periodic table, most people expect it to have the highest electron affinity, but this is not the case. ... Therefore, chlorine has a higher electron affinity than fluorine, and this orbital structure causes it to have the highest electron affinity of all of the elements.</h3>

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.

mash [69]

Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
