Radioactive materials that are high energy and will cause cellular and tissue damage are usually known as ; Alpha radiation.

<h3>What is Radioactive material and Alpha Radiation ?</h3>
  • Chemicals in the class of radionuclides (also known as radioactive materials) have unstable atomic nuclei. They stabilize themselves by altering the nucleus (spontaneous fission, emission of alpha particles, or conversion of neutrons to protons or the reverse).
  • For example, the Earth's crust naturally contains the radioactive elements uranium and thorium. These two elements slowly alter their forms over billions of years, leading to the production of decay byproducts like radon and radium. Energy is released during this process. Alpha radiation is one type of this energy.
  • Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.

How does dispersal help different species? dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping
icang [17]

Dispersal helps different species to increase their range of places, thereby helping to increase their population size in different regions. Dispersal also helps to avoid crowding of diseases of a single location as species move to different locations.

<h3>What is dispersal?</h3>
  • Dispersal is the act of distributing things over a large area. It is when the individuals or seeds move from one site to their growing site.
  • Dispersal can be active (move by oneself) or passive (require dispersers).
  • Seed dispersal is the mechanism of transport of plant seeds to new sites for germination and the establishment of new individuals and colonies.
  • This depends upon the effectiveness of the seed dispersers.
  • Seed dispersal occurs by wind, water, animals, bats, explosions or gravity of the earth.
  • Dispersal of seeds is very important for the survival of plant species.
  • If the plants of same type grow too closely, they have to compete with each other for light, water and nutrients from the soil.
  • Seed dispersal allows plants to spread out from a wide area and avoid competing with one another for the same resources.

What is the mass percent of oxygen in barium perchlorate?
Marina CMI [18]
The mass percent of oxygen in Barium perchlorate is is 38%.

The molecular mass of Barium perchlorate (Ba(ClO4)2) is 336.2282 g/mol.
Percent composition of Oxygen will be = [(Molecular mass of Oxygen  X 8)/ Molecular mass of Barium perchlorate] X 100%
= [(15.99 X 8)/336.2282] X 100% = 38%
