Nuclear decay is more likely to occur when?​

Chemistry
2 answers:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0

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.

What is the mass, in grams, of 28.58 mL of acetone?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
<span>If you look up the density of Acetone (Propanone in IUPAC names) you will find it is 0.7925g/cm3. This is the same as 0.7925g/ml. 

You can calculate mass using the equation:- mass = density x volume 
In your example mass = 0.7925 x 28.40 = 22.51g</span><span>
I think That's right. Hope this helps!!! Good luck!</span>

1.) A compound is a substance that originates from two or more separate elements. It shares some similarities with a mixture.

2.) A compound has quite different properties from which it was formed. It also cannot be separated easily. Compounds are formed by chemical reactions.

3.) A pure substance has a constant composition and has consistent properties. It can be a compound or an element, but its composition is constant.

Hope this helps. :)

What are the missing coefficents for the following equation? __N2+__H2-&gt;__NH3
vivado [14]

Answer:

1, 3, 2

Explanation:

N2 + H2 → NH3

I usually find that the best way to systematically balance an equation by inspection is to start with the most complicated-looking formula and then balance atoms in the order:

  1. All atoms other than O and H
  2. O
  3. H

(a) The most complicated formula is NH3.

(b) Balance N.

We have 1 H in NH3, but 2 N on the left. We need 2 N on the right. Put a 1 in front of N2 and a 2 in front of NH3.

1N2 + H2 → 2NH3

(c) Balance H.

We have fixed 6 H on the right, so we need 6 H on the left. Put a 3 in front of H2.

1N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

The equation is now balanced, and the coefficients are 1, 3, 2.
