Chapter 19, Problem 19.91AP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The information regarding the confirmation of synthesis of total of three elements of ${}_{118}^{294}\text{Og}$ by an international team in $2006$ about an experiment that was run in $2002$ and $2005$ and bombardment of ${}^{249}\text{Cf}$ with ${}^{48}\text{Ca}$ is given. Various questions based on this experiment have to be answered.

Concept introduction: The emission of radiation by unstable nuclei in the form of alpha, beta particles with a neutrino is called a radioactive decay.

To determine: The balanced reaction for the synthesis of ${}^{294}\text{Og}$.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The nuclide produced by alpha decay in nuclide produced in part (a).

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The nuclide produced by alpha decay in nuclide produced in part (b).

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The nuclide produced by alpha decay in nuclide produced in part (c).

(e)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: The element that occurs naturally and has physical and chemical properties similar to $\text{Og}$.
