Answer:

Choice D. Among the choices, $\rm Kr$ (krypton) is likely to be the most similar to neon and behave as a non-reactive gas.

Explanation:

Columns in the periodic table are called "groups." Elements in the same group (i.e., same column of the periodic table) tend to have similar chemical properties.

In this example, neon is in the same right-most column of the periodic table. Since neon is a non-reactive gas, it is reasonable to infer that other elements in the same column would behave similarly.

Among the choices, krypton ( ${\rm Kr}$ ) is the only element in the same column. Thus, krypton would be the most likely element to be a nonreactive gas.

Why is helium trapped in the earth's crust? If it's its trapped in the earth's crust how does it get into the air that we breath

lesya [120]

A small proportion of helium in the crust is helium that was trapped in the Earth when the Earth formed and has not yet escaped. Most helium on Earth, however, forms as a result of alpha decay of uranium and thorium. The emitted alpha particles, once they grab a couple of stray electrons, become helium atoms and can accumulate in gas reservoirs along with things such as methane.

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: The chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

$_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}$

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.

Why bond angle of H2O is maximum then OF2??

Nataly_w [17]

It's lone a little distinction (103 degrees versus 104 degrees in water), and I trust the standard rationalization is that since F is more electronegative than H, the electrons in the O-F bond invest more energy far from the O (and near the F) than the electrons in the O-H bond. That moves the powerful focal point of the unpleasant constrain between the bonding sets far from the O, and thus far from each other. So the shock between the bonding sets is marginally less, while the repugnance between the solitary matches on the O is the same - the outcome is the edge between the bonds is somewhat less.
