Answer:

beta particle

Explanation:

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

¹⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiations

The unit cell for cr2o3 has hexagonal symmetry with lattice parameters a = 0.4961 nm and c = 1.360 nm. If the density of this ma
IRINA_888 [86]

To calculate the packing factor, first calculate the area and volume of unit cell.

Area is calculated as:

A=6R^{2}\sqrt{3}

Here, R is radius and is related to a as follows:

R=\frac{a}{2}

Putting the value in expression for area,

A=6(\frac{a}{2})^{2}\sqrt{3}=1.5a^{2}\sqrt{3}

The value of a is 0.4961 nm

Since, 1 nm=10^{-7}cm

Thus, 0.4961 nm=4.961\times 10^{-8} cm

Putting the value,

Area=1.5(4.961\times 10^{-8}cm)^{2}\sqrt{3}=6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2}

Now, volume can be calculated as follows:

V=Area\times c

The value of c is 1.360 nm or 1.360\times 10^{-7} cm

Putting the value,

V=(6.39\times 10^{-15}cm^{2})\times (1.360\times 10^{-7} cm)=8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}

now, number of atom in unit cell can be calculated by using the following formula:

n=\frac{\rho N_{A}V_{c}}{A}

Here, A is atomic mass of Cr_{2}O_{3} is 151.99 g/mol.

Putting all the values,

n=\frac{(5.22 g/cm^{3})(6.023\times 10^{23} mol^{-1})(8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3})}{(151.99 g/mol)}\approx 18

Thus, there will be 18 Cr_{2}O_{3} units in 1 unit cell.

Since, there are 2 Cr atoms and 3 oxygen atoms thus, units of chromium and oxygen will be 2×18=36 and 3×18=54 respectively.

The atomic radii of Cr^{3+} and O^{2-} is 62 pm and 140 pm respectively.

Converting them into cm:

1 pm=10^{-10}cm

Thus,

r_{Cr^{3+}}=6.2\times 10^{-9}cm

and,

r_{O^{2-}}=1.4\times 10^{-8}cm

Volume of sphere will be sum of volume of total number of cations and anions thus,

V_{S}=V_{Cr^{3+}}+V_{O^{2-}}

Since, volume of sphere is V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3},

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{Cr^{3+})^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}\pi (r_{O^{2-})^{3}} \right )

Putting the values,

V_{S}=36\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (6.2\times 10^{-9} cm)^{3}} \right )+54\left ( \frac{4}{3}(3.14) (1.4\times 10^{-8} cm)^{3}} \right )=6.6\times 10^{-22}\times 10^{-8}cm^{3}

The atomic packing factor is ratio of volume of sphere and volume of crystal, thus,

packing factor=\frac{V_{S}}{V_{C}}=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}{8.7\times 10^{-22}cm^{3}}=0.758

Thus, atomic packing factor is 0.758.

What is the identity of the element, and how many neutrons does it have? An elements most stable ion forms an ionic compound wit
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

B. CA, 14

Explanation:

Atoms of elements contain small particles known as electrons, neutrons, and protons. The nucleus of an atom is made up of neutrons and protons which are at the center of the atom. Electrons on the other hand surrounds the nucleus. Electron has negative charge while proton has a positive charge. The number of neutrons is equivalent to the number of protons . In addition, the number of protons is equal to mass number minus the number of electrons.

For the compound XCl_{2}, it can be broken down into X^{2+} and 2Cl^{-}. Its ion has a mass of 34 and 18 electrons which means it has already lost 2 electrons.

Therefore:

For the given element, the number of electrons is 18+2 = 20 electrons.

The number of protons = 34 - 20 = 14.

And the number of neutrons is 14.

Only option B has the correct answer.

The number of molecules of nitrogen, n2, found in 500.0 g of nitrogen gas is?
8_murik_8 [283]
The molar mass of monotonic Nitrogen is 14 g/mol. Since this is diatomic Nitrogen, double that to 28 g/mol.
Next, divide total mass by molar mass, 500 g / 28 g/mol, which gives <span>17.8571 moles. A mole is defined as being 6.022*10^23 molecules, so multiply moles by molecules/mol (Avogadro's number), and we finally end up with something like 1.075 * 10^25, give or take a few billion particles.</span>
