Question
Chapter 9, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Consider the step wise nuclear decay of Uranium-238, into thorium then to protactinium-234 and then to uranium-234. Comment on emission at each step.
Concept Introduction:
During nuclear decay following emissions are possible:
- Alpha decay: there is a decrease of
atomic number by two and mass number by four. - Beta decay: there is an increase in atomic number by one.

Bicarbonate is crucial for the control of body pH (for example, blood pH
7.4). A more self-indulgent use is in baking soda, where it serves as a
source of CO2 CO2 gas, which gives bread and pastry their fluffy
constituency.
(i) Draw at least one additional resonance form.

(ii) Using curved "electron-pushing" arrows, show how these Lewis structures may
be interconverted by movement of electron pairs. (iii) Determine which form or
forms will be the major contributor(s) to the real structure of bicarbonate,
explaining your answer on the basis of the criteria in Section 1-5.
