Answer:
²⁵⁰₉₆Cm → ²⁴⁶₉₆Cm + 4 ¹₀n
Explanation:
The complete equation is;
²⁵⁰₉₆Cm → ²⁴⁶₉₆Cm + 4 ¹₀n
- The above equation is an example of a nuclear reaction in which unstable atom of Cm emits neutrons to become more stable.
- Radioactive isotopes undergo radioactivity or decay to attain stability, they do so by emitting particles such as alpha, beta particles or a neutron.
- An atom of Cm-250 undergoes decay and emits four neutrons to form an atom of Cm-246.
Second Ionization energy is required to move from Ca⁺ to Ca²⁺ + e⁻. Hence, option D is correct.
<h3>What is first ionization energy?</h3>
First ionization energy: The energy needed to remove the outermost, or highest energy, an electron from a neutral atom in the gas phase.
An element's second ionization energy is the energy required to remove the outermost, or least bound, an electron from a 1+ ion of the element. Because positive charge binds electrons more strongly, the second ionization energy of an element is always higher than the first.
Let us write the reaction equation properly:
Ca⁺ → Ca²⁺ + e⁻
In the reaction above, we see that calcium goes from a single charge to being doubly charged by losing an electron.
Different atoms bind their valence electrons with different amounts of energy. We must supply enough energy to remove the most loosely held electrons in an atom. This amount of energy required is called ionization energy.
The first ionization energy removes the outermost electron and makes the atom to become an ion.
Hence, option D is correct.

In science, physical quantities like length, weights etc are measured in units of metric or International System of units.
Some importance units are as follows:
1. Meter (m) for length.
2. Liter (L) for volume.
3. Gram (g) and kilogram (kg) for mass.
4. Degree Celsius (oC) for temperature.
5. Second for (s) time.
Given that the length of an object = 45.2 cm
SI unit of length is m
100 cm = 1.0 m
Therefore
45.2 cm * 1 .0 m/100 cm
= 0.452 m
Answer
C. Difference in temperature
Explanation
According to thermodynamics, heat transfer occurs when heat from a high temperature reservoir moves to a low temperature reservoir. For heat to be transferred, the two objects should have different temperatures with one having more temperature than the other. Heat transfer in solids is by conduction, in fluids is by convection and by radiation.
