Answer:
Strontium, a group 2 element with an electron configuration of 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 3d¹⁰ 4p⁶ 5s² , will form a +2 ion in a chemical bond.
Explanation:
An ionic bond is produced between metallic and non-metallic atoms, where electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another. During this process, one atom loses electrons and another one gains them, forming ions. Usually, the metal gives up its electrons forming a cation to the nonmetal element, which forms an anion.
So an ion is an atom or group of atoms that have an electric charge. A cation is an ion that has a positive charge.
The alkali metals in the earth (Elements IIA) lose two electrons to form a 2+ cation. Strontium is an alkali metal that loses the two electrons belonging to 5s², forming the +2 ion.
Answer:
6 different frequencies
Explanation:
From energy level 1 to 2 is one frequency, from energy level 1 to 3 is one frequency and From energy level 1 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 3 frequencies for transition from energy level 1.
From energy level 2 to 3 is one frequency and from energy level 2 to 4 is one frequency. So, we have a total of 2 frequencies for transition from energy level 2.
From energy level 3 to 4 is one frequency.
So we have a total of 3 + 2 + 1 different frequencies = 6 different frequencies.
Note that the reverse process for each step produces the same frequency as the step in consideration.
Answer:
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Explanation:
The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Properties of alpha radiations:
Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.
Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.
These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.
These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.
These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy
Answer:
Explanation:
C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.
