The correct answer is option 1. Carbon dioxide is nonpolar because the shape of the molecule  is symmetrical. It is a linear molecule where the oxygen atoms are symmetrical on each end. CO2 molecule do not have a region of unequal sharing.

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

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.

How reactive is an atom of Sodium(Na) and why?
s344n2d4d5 [400]
3rd one:
it is very reactive because it does not have a full Valence shell.

this is because it's in group 1 so it has one electron in its outer shell, and it wants to have a full outer shell ( which it can gain by losing the electron in a reaction).

Hope this helps :)
