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.

Now, examine the structures of benzhydrol and fluorene. Both compounds contain the same number of carbons but have very differen
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The OH group

Explanation:

Benzhydrol contains OH hydroxyl group in its molecule while fluorene does not. At first glance, one would think that OH, which contributes to hydrogen bonding would causes melting point of benzhydrol to be higher than fluorene. <em>However, </em>the structure of benzhydrol, which is 2 benzene rings connected to center hydroxyl carbon (PhCOHPh), allows for each benzene rings in benzhydrol to rotate until both rings are perpendicular to minimize repulsive force. This prevents the molecule from stacking on each other due to its non flat shape, and thus, lowering its melting point in contrast to flat fluorene molecule.

how do different stimuli affect the survival behavior of an organism?THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IM ASKING PLZZZZ HELP ME
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Organisms change their behavior in response to changes in the surrounding environment.

Explanation:

All living things can respond to stimuli in the exterier environment, It is a form of energy—light waves or sound vibrations, From what they sense they will make neccisary changes to their diet and or where they are located.

Such as winter weather which is a type of stimulus will cause some animals to start hibernating.
