Without using a calculator, decide which would give a significantly smaller value than 2.71 x 10^-2, which would give a significantly larger value, or which would give essentially the same value. A. 2.71 x 10^-2 + 1.00 x 10^-6
B. 2.71 x 10^-2 - 1.00 x 10^-6
C 2.71 x 10^-2 x 1.00 x 10^-6
D. 2.71 x 10^-2 / 1.00 x 10^-6

substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon:

- the single bond remains single. a is wrong.

- the bond with hydrogen is as strong as with a halogen. c is wrong

- a hydrocarbon is saturated if there is no double bond. we do not know that so d is wrong.

- carbon will always have four valence electrons. e is wrong.

by elimination, the correct answer is b. the boiling point of the new compound increases.

considering the question as per the attachment

here we can see that the radon nuclide has 222 as the atomic mass number and 86 as the atomic number.

when it undergoes nuclear fission it gives polonium which has atomic mass number as 218 and atomic number will be 84 along with a helium nucleus which has 4 atomic mass number and 2 as its atomic number.

222 = 218 + 4 (atomic mass number)

86 = ? + 2; therefore ? = 86-2 = 84.

the atomic mass number of polonium will be 84.
