The nuclear disintegration series of 238-U is the source of radon-222 in soil.

<h3>What is nuclear disintegration ?</h3>
  • The process of nuclear disintegration is how an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation.
  • A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive.
  • Alpha, beta, and gamma decay are three of the most prevalent types of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles.
  • Ionizing radiation offers a health concern by destroying tissue and the DNA in genes because it can damage the atoms in living things.
  • Alpha particles may be present in the ionising radiation that is released.
  • As one atom transforms into another, radioactive decay involves the emission of a particle and/or energy.
  • Helium ions are released from an atom's nucleus during alpha decay. A neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton and electron during beta decay.

Explain why materials with metallic lattice structures can be used to make wires and connections that conduct electricity in ele
kogti [31]
<span>All metals have similar properties BUT, there can be wide variations in melting point, boiling point, density, electrical conductivity and physical strength.<span>To explain the physical properties of metals like iron or sodium we need a more sophisticated picture than a simple particle model of atoms all lined up in close packed rows and layers, though this picture is correctly described as another example of a giant lattice held together by metallic bonding.</span><span>A giant metallic lattice – the <span>crystal lattice of metals consists of ions (NOT atoms) </span>surrounded by a 'sea of electrons' that form the giant lattice (2D diagram above right).</span><span>The outer electrons (–) from the original metal atoms are free to move around between the positive metal ions formed (+).</span><span>These 'free' or 'delocalised' electrons from the outer shell of the metal atoms are the 'electronic glue' holding the particles together.</span><span>There is a strong electrical force of attraction between these <span>free electrons </span>(mobile electrons or 'sea' of delocalised electrons)<span> (–)</span> and the 'immobile' positive metal ions (+) that form the giant lattice and this is the metallic bond. The attractive force acts in all directions.</span><span>Metallic bonding is not directional like covalent bonding, it is like ionic bonding in the sense that the force of attraction between the positive metal ions and the mobile electrons acts in every direction about the fixed (immobile) metal ions of the metal crystal lattice, but in ionic lattices none of the ions are mobile. a big difference between a metal bond and an ionic bond.</span><span>Metals can become weakened when repeatedly stressed and strained.<span><span>This can lead to faults developing in the metal structure called 'metal fatigue' or 'stress fractures'.</span><span>If the metal fatigue is significant it can lead to the collapse of a metal structure.</span></span></span></span>
