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.

Why is sucrose insoluble in dichloromethane?
Vika [28.1K]
Sucrose is insoluble in dichloromethane because dichloromethane is not a polar solvent.
Sucrose is soluble in water because the molecules of sucrose has the ability to react with the molecules of water and thereby forming hydrogen bond which enhance the dispersion of sucrose in the water. 
Sugar can not react in a similar way with dichloromethane because they do not possess chemical species that can react together to form bonds. Thus, sugar is a polar substance which can not dissolve in a non-polar solvent.

Which of the following is NOT true about one mole?
Lilit [14]
The option in “the mass of 1me of carbon equals the mass of 1 mole of boron atoms” is false since

Mass=molesx molar mass

And the molar masses of these two elements are different so their masses aren’t equal

Displacement is the slope of a velocity vs. time graph<br><br> A. True<br><br> B. False
mezya [45]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity which represent shortest distance form initial position to final position.

Velocity of an object is defined as ratio of displacement of object to that of the time taken by object to move from its initial position to final position.

In displacement vs time graph the slope of the graph represent the velocity. Whereas slope of velocity vs time graph gives acceleration.

Which of the following was NOT one of the components of Dalton's Atomic Theory? (1 point) All elements are composed of tiny indi
bezimeni [28]

Answer: Atoms of one element, however, are never changed into atoms of another element as a result of a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Dalton's Atomic Theory was proposed in the 20th century by an English Scientist named John Dalton. His theory is postulated as follows:

1) All elements are composed of tiny indivisible particles called atoms.

2) The atoms of any one element are identical to those of any other element. 3) Atoms of different elements can physically mix together or can chemically combine in simple whole-number ratios to form compounds.

However, the final option is NOT one of Dalton's Theory
