Why is helium found in deposits of uranium and thorium vores? What kind of radioactive emission produces it?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Drupady [299]1 year ago
4 0

Two protons and two neutrons are emitted and trapped as materials like uranium and thorium deep underground decay into radium and thorium, respectively. These alpha-particles transform into stable helium atoms as they take on electrons from their surroundings.

<h3>What elements go through alpha decay?</h3>

Alpha decay usually occurs in heavy nuclei such as uranium or plutonium, and therefore is a major part of the radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion.

<h3>Where does alpha decay occur?</h3>

Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio. An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles.

Which answer choice best describes the difference between folded mountains and fault-block mountains?
melamori03 [73]

The answer is; C

In folding, when segments of Earth's crust are bent and doubled over, the sediments in between are form folds, since they are forced into a smaller space.  This also occurs in converging plates boundaries.

Block Mountains occur when stress due to compression in the crust causes the hanging wall between a fault to move up relative to the footwall.

Can rotation and revolution occur at the same time? Explain.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Revolution is the movement of an object around another object. So, Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around Earth. At the same time, Earth and the Moon are also rotating. Earth's rate of revolution is about 365 days (one year), and its rate of rotation is about 24 hours (one day).
