Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Nuclide,
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 to proton ratio (N/Z) in the nucleus.
For a stable atoms having low
For a stable nucleus N/P ratio is one and which lies in the belt of stability of graph of number of protons to number neutrons.
When an isotope is above the belt of stability, N/P ratio is high and there exists a beta emission to decrease the stability.
(b)
Interpretation:
Nuclide,
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 to proton ratio (N/Z) in the nucleus.
For a stable atoms having low atomic number, n/p ratio is close to 1. When atomic number increases N/Z becomes greater than 1.
For a stable nucleus N/P ratio is one and which lies in the belt of stability of graph of number of protons to number neutrons.
When an isotope is above the belt of stability, N/P ratio is high and there exists a beta emission to decrease the stability.

- Q5: Label each chiral carbon in the following molecules as R or S. Make sure the stereocenter to which each of your R/S assignments belong is perfectly clear to the grader. (8pts) R OCH 3 CI H S 2pts for each R/S HO R H !!! I OH CI HN CI R Harrow_forwardCalculate the proton and carbon chemical shifts for this structurearrow_forwardA. B. b. Now consider the two bicyclic molecules A. and B. Note that A. is a dianion and B. is a neutral molecule. One of these molecules is a highly reactive compound first characterized in frozen noble gas matrices, that self-reacts rapidly at temperatures above liquid nitrogen temperature. The other compound was isolated at room temperature in the early 1960s, and is a stable ligand used in organometallic chemistry. Which molecule is the more stable molecule, and why?arrow_forward
