A radioactive nucleus can change from one element to another. How does this happen?

Answers

Answer 1
Radioactive decay happens when an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously changes to a lower-energy state and spits out a bit of radiation. This process changes the atom to a different element or a different isotope
Answer 2

A radioactive decay is occurring by the emission of charged particles such alpha or beta to form a new stable atom with changes mass number and atomic number.

What is radioactive decay?

Heavy unstable radioactive elements undergo nuclear decay by which they form a stable isotope or new atom with changed atomic number. There are two types of nuclear decays mainly. They are alpha decay and beta decay.

During alpha decay isotopes with higher mass number undergo alpha emission and forming a new species with mass number reduced by 4 units and atomic number reduced by 2 units.

In the case of beta- decay, electrons are emitted from the atom and then forming a new atom with atomic number increased by one unit. For an electron capture process, an electron is captured to the atom forming an element with atomic number reduced by one.

What is Gay Lussac's law?

Gay-Lussac's law can be described as when the volume of the gas remains constant then the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

The mathematical equation of Gay Lussca's law is written as follows:

P/T = k

It can be represented as the pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

P ∝ T               (where 'V' volume of gas is constant)

or

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

Where P₁ and T₁ are the initial temperature and pressure while P₂ and T₂ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

The sample of gas has a fixed volume of gas and on increasing the temperature the gas molecules acquire more and more kinetic energy. So the pressure of the gas will also increase.

Therefore, there will be a direct relationship between temperature and pressure of gas.

Many plants in rainforests have leaf tips that come to a point, so precipitation drains off the leaf. This helps to keep the plant safe from harmful germs. Based on this info, what resource is prevalent in a rainforest?

Answers

Answer:

rainfall/water

Explanation:

The possession of drip tips by the leaves of plants in the rainforest is a form of adaptation against high rainfall. Without the drip tips on leaves, water will persist on the surface of leaves, and in conjunction with the warm climate, promotes the growth of pathogens such as fungi and bacteria.

Hence, the possession of drip tips on leaves is an indication of the prevalence of water in the rainforest region.

The false statement about any of the diagram is that diagram B is a mixture of compounds.

Diagram is not a mixture of compounds. It is a single compound in gaseous state .

A compound is a combination of elements in a definite grouping. The properties of the compound is distinct from that of the element that combines to form it. Therefore, since we just a black and yellow circle, the diagram is a compound and nothing more. The other descriptions are perfect.

Which statement describes the water gas particles in the air above the cup compared with the water liquid
particles in the cup?
The partides move faster and are closer together
The particles move faster and are far apart
The particles move slower and are closer together
The particles move slower and are far apart

Answers

Answer:

The particles move faster and are far apart

Explanation:

A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.

In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.

In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.

Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.

8. At higher temperatures _______.
A. particles in an object have less energy
B. particles in an object move faster
C. a gas contracts
D. particles vibrate slowly

Answers

Answer:

B. particles in an object move faster

Explanation:

At higher temperatures, particles in an object moves faster.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

At higher temperature, the substance is very hot. Temperature is related to the heat energy content of a bodyAs the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles of system increases more and more. This is in compliance with the kinetic molecular theory of matter. Therefore, at higher temperatures, particles in an object move faster.

What is the balanced equation for KOH+CO2—>K2CO3+H2O

Answers

The balanced equation :

2KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

Further explanation

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

give coeffiecient

aKOH+bCO₂⇒K₂CO₃+cH₂O

make equation

K, left=a, right=2⇒a=2

H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c⇒2=2c⇒c=1

O, left=a+2b, right=3+c⇒a+2b=3+c⇒2+2b=3+1⇒2b=2⇒b=1
