Various rules of thumb have seen proposed by the scientific community to expalin the mode of radioactive decay by various radioisotopes. One of the major rules is called the n//p ratio. If all the known isotopes of the elemnts are plotted on a graph of number of neutrons (n) versus number of protons (p), it is observed that all isotopes lying outside of a ''stable'' n//p ratio region are radioactive as shown fig. The graph exhibits straight line behaviour with unit slope up to p=25 . Above p=25 , tgose isotopes with n//p ratios lying above the stable region usually undergo beta decay. Very heavy isotopes (pgt83) are unstable because of their relativley large nuclei and they undergo alpha decay. Gamma ray emission does not involve the release of a particle. It represnts a change in an atom from a higher energy level to a lower energy level. How would the radioisotope of magnesium with atomic mass 27 undergo radioactive decay?.

Paramagnetism is a property due to the presence of unpaired electrons. In case of transition metals, as they contain unpaired electrons in the (n-1) d orbitals,most of the transition metal ions and their compounds are paramagnetic .Para magnetism increases with increases in number of unpaired electrons. Magnetic moment is calculated from spin only formula' Vz mu=sqrt(n(n+2)) B.M n="number of unpaired electrons" Similarly the colour of the compounds of transition metals may be attributed to the presence of incomplete (n-1) d sub-shell. When an electron from a lower energy of d-orbitals is excited to a higher energy d-orbital, the energy of excitation corresponds to the frequency of light absorbed. This frequency generally lies in the visible region. The colour observed corresponds to complementary colour of the light observed. The frequency of the light absorbed is determined by the nature of the ligand. Which of the following pair of Compounds is expected to exhibit same colour in aqueous solution

J.C. Slater proposed an empirical constant that represents the cumulative extent to which the other electrons of an atom shield (or screen) any particular electron from the nuclear charge. Thus, slater's screening contant sigma is as : Z^(**)=Z-sigma Here, Z is the atomic number of the atom, and hence is equal to the actual number of protons in the atom. the parameter Z^(**) is the effective nuclear charge, which according to is smaller than Z, since the electron in question is screened (shielded) from Z by an amount sigma . Conversely, an electron that is well shielded from the nuclear charge Z experiences a small effective nuclear charge Z^(**) . The value of sigma for any one electron in a given electron configuration (i.e., in the presence of the other electrons of the atom in question) is calculated using a set of empirical rules developed by slater. according to these rules, the value of sigma for the electron in question is the cumulative total provided by the various other electrons of the atom. Q. Which of the following statement is correct?

In response to a question, a student stated that in an atom, the number of protons is greater than the number of neutrons, which in turn is greater than the number of electrons. Do you agree with the statement ? Justify your answer.
