First, there is nothing inherently different about transuranic elements. They do share some common characteristics. As a class, they are all radioactive. But that's also true of all elements above atomic number 82 (lead) (Pb-208 being the heaviest stable isotope known). And radioactivity is actually far more common than stability if you look at all the known nuclides. The transuranics also share the trait that they will undergo nuclear fission. We'll look at that later, also check the link for more info. But these traits are not unique to the transuranics. Uranium is also fissionable, and elements as light as atomic number 88 (radium) may undergo fission (but not very efficiently). We also should keep in mind that there are many isotopes that are much lighter than uranium which are only available by "artificial" means. So, again, there's no unique property that applies only to "man-made" isotopes or transuranic elements.

1. What is the density, in g/cm², of a substance weighing 22.2 cg with dimensions of 0.333
RUDIKE [14]
  • Mass=22.2cg=2.22g

Volume:-

\\ \tt\longmapsto 0.333(0.444)(0.555)=0.08cm^3

So

\\ \tt\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \tt\longmapsto Density=\dfrac{2.22}{0.08}=27.75g/cm^3

Use Lewis theory to draw the structure of the compound containing 1 carbon and 4 chlorine atoms. What would you find surrounding
Nikolay [14]

Answer :  The correct option is, (B) no double bonds.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

As we are given that the structure of the compound containing 1 carbon and 4 chlorine atoms.

Thus, the molecule is, CCl_4

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CCl_4 = 4 + 4(7) = 32

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 8 number of bonding electrons and 24 number of non-bonding electrons.

From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that there are 4 single bonds are surrounding the central atom of this ion there is no double or triple bonds are present.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) no double bonds.
