Find out the sum of all the digits of the atom of the element “Uuq”. (If your answer is greater than 9 then add all the digit) For example, Ans 12 then fill 1+2=3, Ans 123 then fill 1+2+3=6and Ans 20 then fill 2+0=2
Solution
Uuq is the symbol of the element “Ununquadium”. Ununquadium is an artificially produced element in December 1998 by scientists at Dubna in Russia. Ununquadium is a temporary IUPAC element named This element is a solid, radioactive super-heavy element. This element is classified as metal.
The atomic number of this element is 114 and the atomic weight is 289
Complete step by step answer:
The atomic number of Uuq = 114
By adding each number, we obtain
= 1+ 1+ 4
= 6
Note:
Ununquadium is synthesized by bombarding calcium (48Ca) heavy-ion beams on plutonium (244Pu) targets.
Ununquadium has an isotope of Ununquadium-298, which is very difficult to synthesize. The manufacturing is very difficult because the nuclei summing to 114 protons and 184 neutrons are not available in weighable quantities. However, it is generated by nuclear transfer reactions. One of such reactions may be: 204Hg + 136Xe → 298Unq + 40Ca + 2n
All Ununquadium and its isotopes do not occur naturally, they are entirely synthesized in laboratories. All of the isotopes of ununquadium are neutron-poor. i.e., it contains a significantly-fewer number of neutrons than 184. Neutron-poor indicates that the isotopes are not stable and decay either by spontaneous fission or by the processes that convert a proton into a neutron, yielding element 113. Therefore, Ununquadium isotopes are unstable.
