Why can’t you split an element in half?

Chemistry
1 answer:
dedylja [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It depends on the atom, or more specifically, on the size of its nucleus. There is a competition between the electrical repulsion of the protons (that drives the nucleus apart) and the attraction of the protons and neutrons (due to chromodynamics). For nuclei above a certain size, the repulsion tends to win

If a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, what will be the new element?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

Explanation:

The beta decay is given by:

^{A}_{Z}X \rightarrow ^{A}_{Z+1}Y + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}

Where:

A: is the mass number

Z: is the number of protons  

β⁻: is a beta particle = electron

\bar{\nu_{e}}: is an antineutrino

The neutral atom has 88 electrons, so:

e^{-} = 88 = Z

Hence the element is radium (Ra), it has A = 226.

If Ra undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay, we have:

^{226}_{88}Ra \rightarrow ^{226}_{89}Ac + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}    

^{226}_{89}Ac \rightarrow ^{226}_{90}Th + \beta^{-} + \bar{\nu_{e}}

Therefore, if a neutral atom with 88 electrons undergoes 2 rounds of beta minus decay the new element will be thorium-226 (²²⁶Th).

I hope it helps you!

The volume of a fixed mass of gas at 2 atm pressure is 20L.What will be its volume if the pressure is increased 4 times without
kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 5L.

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation -

pv=nRT

p = pressure

v =volume

Here nRT is constant so

P would be inversely proportioned to v

So, p1/p2 = v2/v1

Putting values:

2/4(2) = v2/20 (p2 = 4 times of P1)

2/8 = v2/20

V2 = 5

Thus, the correct volume at new pressure would be - 5 L.
