What defining feature makes a material an insulator?

Chemistry

kompoz [17]3 years ago

A defining feature of a material that is a good insulator would be its ability to stop or cancel an electric charge of another material. This happens because the molecules in the material are stable and there are no free electrons that would allow the charges to flow.

The alpha decay of a radioactive nuclide (X) emits a He-4 nucleus and produces an isotope of Superscript 235 subscript 92 upper
kupik [55]

Answer:

Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u

(plutonium-239)

Explanation:

In alpha decay, the element subtracts 4 from its mass number and subtracts 2 from its atomic number.

So if we end with Uranium-235, which has an atomic number of 92:

235+4 = 239

92+2 = 94

Element 94 is Pu, plutonium, and its mass could very well be 239 if it's an isotope. So the answer is Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

The compound contains lauryl sulfate and ammoium ions. Lauryl sulfate contains lauric acid (in black and white) , the fatty acid formed by the covalent bonds between C-C attached to hydrogens, and sulfate ions attached to lauric acid (in red) with C-S covalent bond. Sulfer is attached to oxygen by covalent bonds. In Ammonium ions, N is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms.

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

five half lives

Explanation:

Half-life is the time required for a quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

How many half lives it would take to reach 3.13% form 100% of it's initial concentration:

100% - 50% : First Half life

50% - 25%: Second Half life

25% - 12.5%: Third Half life

12.5% - 6.25%: Fourth Half life

6.25% - 3.125%: Fifth Half life

This means it would take five half lives to get to 3.125% (≈ 3.13%) of it's original concentration.

How are exothermic and endothermic reactions linked in the process of refining metal ore?
Alex777 [14]
The intended sense is that of a reaction that depends on absorbing heat if it is to proceed. The opposite of an endothermic process is an exothermic process, one that releases "gives out" energy in the form of heat
