Chapter 7, Problem 86AE
The following observations are made about two hypothetical elements A and B: The A-A and B-B bond lengths in the elemental forms of A and B are 2.36 and 1.94 A, respectively. A and B react to form the binary compound AB2, which has a linear structure (that is
LB - A - B = 180°). Based on these statements, predict the separation between the two B nuclei in a molecule of AB2.

Muons are very similar to electrons, having the same charge and spin, but they have a mass 207 times greater. When muons arecaptured by an atom, they orbit just like an electron but with a smaller radius, since the mass in aB =0.529x 10-10 m is 207 me .(a) Calculate the radius of the n=1 orbit for a muon in a uranium ion( Z=92).(b) Compare this with the 7.5-fm radius of a uranium nucleus. Note that since the muon orbits inside the electron, it falls into a hydrogen-like orbit. Since your answer is less than the radius of the nucleus, you can seethat the photons emitted as the muon falls into its lowest orbit can give information about the nucleus.arrow_forwardBoron, atomic number 5, occurs naturally as two isotopes, 10B and 11B, with natural abundances of 19.9% and 80.1%, respectively.(a) In what ways do the two isotopes differ from each other?
