14.americium- 241 is widely used in smoke detectors. the radiation released by this element ionizes particles that are then dete

cted by a charged particle collector. the half-life of am-241 is 432.2 years, and it decays by emitting alpha particles. how many alpha particles are emitted each second by a 5.00 g sample of am-241

Hence, 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles is being emitted each second by the sample.

<h3>What is half life?</h3>

The term half life is the time taken for only half of the original  amount of radioactive nuclides to remain.

Thus, we have that the half life is 432.2 years or 1.36 * 10^10 s.

k = 0.693/ 1.36 * 10^10 s

k = 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles per second.

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change? (Use words reactants, products, atoms and molecules.)
jeka94

Answer:

A physical change, such as a state change or dissolving, does not create a new substance, but a chemical change does. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products.

Are there molecules of sodium chloride within a sodium chloride crystal?
alukav5142 [94]
No, within a crystal like structure or ionic lattice of sodium chloride, there are ions of Na and Cl. Na+ and Cl- respectively that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges. Many of these ions form a crystal structure.
