Radioactive decay is a process that most likely makes the unstable nucleus of polonium stable.

<h3>What is Radioactive decay?</h3>

Radioactive decay is the process in which unstable nuclei of radioactive elements turn into stable by emitting charged particles along with the energy. There are three types of radioactive decay i.e. alpha, beta, and gamma decay. Polonium is a very rare natural element that is present on earth.

It is found in uranium ores but it is not economical to extract it from that ore because of the high cost. It is formed by bombarding bismuth-209 with the help of neutrons to give bismuth-210 which decays to produce polonium. Polonium is a radioactive element because it emits radiation.

So we can conclude that Radioactive decay is the right answer for polonium.

A gas occupies 900.0 mL at a temperature of 27.0 ˚C. Assuming constant pressure, what is its volume if it is heated to 132.0 ˚C?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

new volume is 1215mL

Explanation:

using Charles law , the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to its temperature provide that pressure is kept constant.

\frac{V1}{T1}=\frac{V2}{T2}

V1=900mL ,

convert the temperatures from Celsius to kelvin temperature.

T1 =27°C =27+273 =300K

T2 =132°C = 132+273=405K

V2=\frac{V1T2}{T1}

V2=\frac{900*405}{300}

V2= 1215mL

What is the correct name for Au3N?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

option D= Gold (I) nitride

Explanation:

The name of the given compound is gold(I) nitride.

Molar mass can be determine by following way:

molar mass Au3N = (molar mass of gold × 3) + (molar mass of nitrogen)

molar mass Au3N = (196.97 × 3 ) + ( 14 )

molar mass of Au3N =  590.91 g/mol + 14 g/mol

molar mass of Au3N = 604.91 g/mol

The nitrogen has valency of -3 so three Au(+1) will require while the valency of Au is (1+) one nitrogen will require to make the compound overall neutral.

Au3N

3(1+) + (-3) = 0

+3 - 3 = 0

0 = 0

The overall charge is 0, the compound will be neutral.
