Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
More stable isotope from the list has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear stability means that the nucleus is stable meaning that it does not spontaneously emit any kind of radioactivity.
Nuclear stability can be explained based on neutron proton ratio (n/p) in the nucleus.
For a stable atoms having low
As the number of stable isotopes increases, stability of the element increases.
(b)
Interpretation:
More stable isotope from the list has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Nuclear stability means that the nucleus is stable meaning that it does not spontaneously emit any kind of radioactivity.
Nuclear stability can be explained based on neutron proton ratio (n/p) in the nucleus.
For a stable atoms having low atomic number, n/p ratio is close to 1. When atomic number increases n/p becomes greater than 1.
As the number of stable isotopes increases, stability of the element increases.

- Hi I need help on the question provided in the image.arrow_forwardDraw a reasonable mechanism for the following reaction:arrow_forwardDraw the mechanism for the following reaction: CH3 CH3 Et-OH Et Edit the reaction by drawing all steps in the appropriate boxes and connecting them with reaction arrows. Add charges where needed. Electron-flow arrows should start on the electron(s) of an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or location where a new bond should be created. H± EXP.
