Because there is often new evidence found that could change a theory.

Scientific theories change because theories may be modified or overturned as new evidence and perspective emerges. ... The process of theory change may take time and involve controversy, but eventually the scientific explanation that is more accurate will be accepted. Hoped you get it!

Heavy nuclides with too few neutrons to be in the band of stability are most likely to decay by what mode?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Positron emission

Explanation:

Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.

A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped

If you have a 150-gram sample of CrO3: • How many moles of CrO3 do you have? • How many oxygen atoms do you have? • How many gra

docker41 [41]

Answer :

(a) The moles of $CrO_3$ is, 1.5 moles.

(b) The number of oxygen atoms are, $27.099\times 10^{23}$

(c) The mass of oxygen is, 72 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of $CrO_3$ = 150 g

Molar mass of $CrO_3$ = 100 g/mole

Molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mole

(a) First we have to calculate the moles of $CrO_3$ .

$\text{Moles of }CrO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CrO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CrO_3}=\frac{150g}{100g/mole}=1.5moles$

The moles of $CrO_3$ is, 1.5 moles.

(b) Now we have to calculate the number of oxygen atoms.

In $CrO_3$ , there are 1 atom of chromium and 3 atoms of oxygen.

According to the mole concept,

1 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$ number of oxygen atoms.

So, 1.5 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $1.5\times 3\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=27.099\times 10^{23}$ number of oxygen atoms.

The number of oxygen atoms are, $27.099\times 10^{23}$

(c) Now we have to calculate the mass of oxygen.

As, 1 mole of $CrO_3$ contains 3 moles of oxygen

So, 1.5 mole of $CrO_3$ contains $1.5\times 3=4.5$ moles of oxygen

$\text{Mass of oxygen}=\text{Moles of oxygen}\times \text{Molar mass of oxygen}$

$\text{Mass of oxygen}=(4.5mole)\times (16g/mole)=72g$

The mass of oxygen is, 72 grams.

What would you expect to happen if you raised the temperature of the water to 85°C? Check all that apply.

Mumz [18]

I don't know your options but maybe this bit of information will help, the boiling point of water is 212°F so at that temperature it will likely just start evaporating
