Answer:

D

Explanation:

Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.

Debunking the other answers:

A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.

B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.

C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.

Thus, D is correct.

Select True or False: Pi bonds are covalent bonds in which the electron density is concentrated above and below a plane containi
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In pi bonds, the electron density concentrates itself between the atoms of the compound but are present on either side of the line joining the atoms. Electron density is found above and below the plane of the line joining the internuclear axis of the two atoms involved in the bond.

Pi bonds usually occur by sideways overlap of atomic orbitals and this leads to both double and triple bonds.

The molar solubility of silver bromide, AgBr in pure water is 0.0007350 mol/L. What is the
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

0.000000540

Explanation:

Step 1: Make an ICE chart for the solution of AgBr

"S" represents the molar solubility of AgBr

        AgBr(s) ⇄ Ag⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                           0             0

C                          +S          +S

E                           S             S

Step 2: Write the expression for the solubility product constant (Ksp)

Ksp = [Ag⁺] [Br⁻] = S × S

Ksp = S² = (0.0007350)² = 0.000000540
