Periodic Table

The Periodic Table is a tabular arrangement of the elements in increasing order oftheir atomic numbers, so that elements with similar properties are in the same column. There are 18 columns, called groups, and seven rows, which are called periods, in the modern periodic table. Questions about the Periodic Table: its history and creation, trends, groups/families, and periods are asked in our Periodic Table category.

What is the equation for the alpha decay of americium 243?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Americium-243 might undergo alpha decay to become neptunium-239, and here is that equation:

95243Am => 93239Np + 24He++

The americium-243 has undergone transmutation to become neptunium-239, and the alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, can be seen on the tail end of the equation.

You can have the alcohol functional group (-OH) on the end of the chain or or it can be on any carbon in the chain .

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH ( pentan-1-ol)

CH3CH2CH2CH(OH)CH3 ( pentan-2-ol)

CH3CH2CH(OH)CH2CH3 ( pentan-3-ol)

What compound has a molar mass of 18 grams?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Water.

Remember the equation

Moles = mass(g) / Mr (Relative Molecular Mass)

So Molar Mass(g) is = to moles X Mr.

or

Mr = mass(g) /moles

Since ther mass is 18 g and molar mass is 1 mole

Then substitute

Mr = 18g / 1 = 18

So referring to the Periodic Table. for elements with an atomic below 18 .

We have oxygen at 16 and hydrogen at 1

So 16 + 1 + 1 = 18

.

Hence oxygen + 2 hydrogen = water (H2O).
