Nuclear decay is more likely to occur when?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atomic nuclei – that is, ones that don't have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together due to an excess of either protons or neutrons.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

It happens when a heavy nucleus is bombarded with neutrons, so it becomes unstable and decomposes into two nuclei.

Explanation:

This is known by the term nuclear fission, which is a reaction by which a heavy nucleus, when bombarded with neutrons, becomes unstable and divides into two nuclei, of sizes of the same order of magnitude, there is a high release of energy and emits two or three neutrons. These neutrons can lead to more fissions by interacting with other fissile nuclei.

An atom has a mass number of 30 and 16 neutrons. What is the atomic number of this atom?
Lana71 [14]
The mass number is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. Since there are 16 neutrons, there are 14 protons. This also corresponds to the atomic number, so this atom's atomic number is 14 which is also Silicon

Find the pH of HCl with a concentration of 0.00006M<br> Round to the nearest whole number
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

4.22

Explanation:

pH stands for potential hydrogen. The letter “p” denotes potential and the letter “H” denotes hydrogen.

pH helps to find the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution.

The number of hydrogen ions (protons) present in a solution is determined by the pH scale.

A pH greater than 7 makes the water more alkaline and a pH less than 7 makes the water more acidic.

pH=-\log [H^+]=-\log [0.00006]=4.22
