Modeling Nuclear Processes Quick Check

1 answer:

4 0

The phrase which best describes nuclear fusion is: A. the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus.

A nuclear reaction can be defined as a type of chemical reaction in which the nucleus of an atom of a radioactive chemical element is transformed by either being joined (fusion) or split (fission) with the nucleus of another atom of a radioactive chemical element and accompanied by a release of energy.

Generally, there are two (2) main types of nuclear reaction and these include:

Nuclear fission: it involves the collision of a heavy atomic nucleus with a neutron, thereby causing a split and release of energy.

Nuclear fusion: it involves the joining of two smaller nuclei of atoms to form a single massive or heavier (larger) nucleus with the release of energy.

In conclusion, nuclear fusion is best described as the process by which small nuclei combine into a larger nucleus, accompanied by a release of energy.

Electronic configurations and charges of the ions in lithium fluoride?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of a lithium atom is 2.1 and that of a fluorine atom is 2.7

an atom of lithium donates an electron to an atom of fluorine to form an ionic compound. The transfer of the electron gives the lithium ion a net charge of +1, and the fluorine ion a net charge of -1.

For each pair of covalently bonded atoms, choose the one expected to have the shortest bond length. (A) C-I (B) H-I ...... (A,B)

UNO [17]

Answer:

i) B

ii) D

Explanation:

Bond length is determined by the size of the atoms involved and the bond order

A) C-I

B) H-I

answer : H-I has the shortest bond length because H has an electronegativity value of 2.2 while C has an electronegativity value of 2.5 hence the bond between H-I is greater than C - I due the electronegativity difference between H-I is greater as well.

C) H-Cl

D) H-I

answer : H-Cl has the shortest bond length due the electronegativity difference between H-CI is greater as well.

Please help me for question 1 and 2

likoan [24]

Answer:-

1) 6 mol

2) Mo

Explanation: -

Mass of Ozone = 48 g

Chemical formula of ozone = O3

Molar mass of Ozone O 3 = 16 x 3 = 48 g mol-1

Number of moles of ozone = Mass / molar mass

= 48 g / 48 g mol-1

= 1 mol

According to Avogadro’s law, 1 mole of a substance has 6.02 x 10^ 22 molecules.

So 1 mol of O3 has 6.02 x 10^ 22 molecules of ozone.

Now each Ozone molecule has 3 atoms of oxygen.

So, 1 mol of ozone has 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms of oxygen.

Sodium must have 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms as per the question.

According to Avogadro’s law, 6.02 x 10^ 22 atoms are in 1 mol of sodium

So, for 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22 atoms, there should be (1/ 6.02 x 10^ 22) x 2 x 3 x 6.02 x 10^22

= 6 mol of sodium.

Let the mass of M be m g

Formula of hexafluoride = MF6.

Mass of the hexafluoride = g + 6 x 19

= m + 114

Mass of M=0.250g

Moles of M = 0.250/m

Mass of MF6= 0.547g

Moles of MF6 = 0.547/ (m + 114)

We know 1 mole of M gives 1 mole of MF6.

0.250/m moles of M gives 0.250/m moles of MF6.

But number of moles of MF6 = 0.547/ (m + 114)

Thus

0.250/m = (0.547)/ (m +114))

0.250m + 0.250 x 114 = 0.547m

m = 0.250 x 114 / (0.547 -0.250)

= 96

We see from the given data that Mo is 96.

So M is Mo.
