Curicun, named for marie curie, has approximately 25 different isotopes that emit an alpha particle when their nuclei decay. If curium-247, the most abundant nuclide, emit and alpha particle, what daughter nuclide is formed?

The daughter nuclide formed is Plutonium -243

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

where A - mass number

Z - atomic number

X and Y are symbols of elements

For alpha decay of curium-247,

The daughter nuclide formed is Plutonium -243

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

consider the reaction below.

 no rx

at 500 k, the reaction is at equilibrium with the following concentrations.

[pci5]= 0.0095 m

[pci3] = 0.020

[ci2] = 0.020 m

what is the equilibrium constant for the given reaction?

0.042

0.42
