Interpretation:
The type of decay to be determined due to which thorium 229 decays to form radium -225.
Concept introduction:
Isotopes are atoms of same element whose number of neutrons is different. Isotopes having unstable nuclei are termed as radioisotopes. These unstable nuclei emit radiation to attain more stable atomic configuration is termed as radioactive decay.

Answer to Problem 7PP
The type of decay is alpha decay due to which thorium-229 decays to form radium -225.
Explanation of Solution
Depending on the relative number of neutrons and protons, atoms can undergo different type of decay-beta decay, alpha decay, positron emission or electron capture to gain stability. In alpha decay, decrease of mass number and
The
In alpha decay, atomic number decrease by 2 and mass number decreases by 4.

- Show that a molecule with configuration π4 has a cylindrically symmetric electron distribution. Hint: Let the π orbitals be equal to xf and yf, where f is a function that depends only on the distance from the internuclear axis.arrow_forward(a) Verify that the lattice energies of the alkali metal iodides are inversely proportional to the distances between the ions in MI (M = alkali metal) by plotting the lattice energies given below against the internuclear distances dMI. Is the correlation good? Would a better fit be obtained by plotting the lattice energies as a function of (1 — d*/d)/d, as theoretically suggested, with d* = 34.5 pm? You must use a standard graphing program to plot the graph. It generates an equation for the line and calculates a correlation coefficient. (b) From the graph obtained in (a), estimate the lattice energy of silver iodide. (c) Compare the results of (b) with the experimental value of 886 kJ/mol. If they do not agree, explain the deviation.arrow_forwardCan I please get help with #3 & 4? Thanks you so much!arrow_forward
