Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which unstable nuclei emit radioactive particles and energy. Fission occurs as the result of high-energy bombardment of nuclei that cause them to break into smaller nuclei, radioactive particles, and energy. All fission events are not the same. The nuclei split in a number of ways to produce several different products.

<h3>What is Radioactive?</h3>

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive. Alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay are three of the most frequent kinds of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.

Beta decay is a result of the weak force, while the nuclear force and electromagnetism are in charge of the other two mechanisms. The capture of an inner electron from one of the electron shells by an unstable nucleus is the fourth prevalent form of decay. A series of electrons drop as a result of that electron being lost from the shell.

Do equal volumes of the same gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules (number of moles)?
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:Therefore, there must be a direct relationship between these volumes of gases and the number of molecules they contain. Avogadro's law says that: Equal volumes of different gaseous substances, measured under the same pressure and temperature conditions, contain the same number of molecules.

Explanation:I hope it works for you.

What happens when iron is placed in a solution containing copper ions?
alexgriva [62]

When an iron is dipped in Copper Sulphate

Solution this reaction between them and

copper sulphate change into blue color to light

green color. This show that iron is more

reactive then copper, it can to replace copper

from CuSO4 , CuSO4 is of blue color and

FeSO4 is light green color.

Hope it helps
