In the electron configuration 2-8-3-1, which shell contains electrons with the greatest energy?

Draw the resonance structures for (SCN)".

Phantasy [73]

Answer : The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

Explanation :

Resonance structure : It is defined as when more than one Lewis structure can be drawn, the molecule or ion is said to have resonance.

Resonance is the concept where electrons (bonds) are delocalized over three or more atoms which cannot be depicted with one simple Lewis structure.

First we have to draw Lewis-dot structure.

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'.

The given molecule is, $SCN$

As we know that sulfur has '6' valence electrons, carbon has '6' valence electrons and nitrogen has '5' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in $SCN$ = 6 + 4 + 5 = 15

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 7 number of bonding electrons and 8 number of non-bonding electrons.

In SCN, carbon atom is the central atom and sulfur and nitrogen are the neighboring atoms.

The resonance structure of $SCN$ is shown below.

a radioisotope has a half life of three hours how much of a 120g sample remains after 9 hours. what will the g amount be after 3

aksik [14]

$\huge\boxed{♔︎Answer♔︎}$

60g after 3 hours, 30g after 6 hours and 15g after 9 hours

Explanation:

Weight of the radioactive sample = 120g

half life time period = 3 hours

(a) The weight of sample after 3 hours

$\textsf{ No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{3}{3} = 1$

The fraction of sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{1} = \frac{1}{2}$

Mass of the sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{2} \times 120 = \cancel\frac{120}{2} = 60g$

60g of sample is left after 3 hours

(b) The weight of sample after 6 hours

$\textsf{ No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{6}{3} = 2$

The fraction of the sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}$

Mass of the sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{4} \times 120 = \cancel\frac{120}{4} = 30g$

30g of sample is left after 6 hours

(c) The weight of sample after 9 hours

$\textsf {No. of half lives} = \sf \cancel\frac{9}{3} = 3$

The fraction of sample left

$\sf { \frac{1}{2} }^{3} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8}$

Mass of sample left

$\sf \frac{1}{8} \times 120 = \cancel \frac{120}{8} = 15g$

15g of sample is left after 9 hours.

Why are the three atoms are isotopes of magnesium

LenKa [72]

Answer:

Magnesium is a naturally ubiquitous; (appearing & found evrywhere) element and has three naturally occurring stable isotopes, 24Mg, 25Mg and 26Mg, with relative abundance of 78.99%, 10.00% and 11.01%, respectively.

However, they differ only because a 24Mg atom has 12 neutrons in its nucleus, a 25Mg atom has 13 neutrons, and a 26Mg has 14 neutrons.
