Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}


Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.


_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e


Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom
pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

              Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)

where X_A & X_B are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

X_{Al}=1.61

X_{Mn}=1.55

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)

                                               = 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In Al_6Mn compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is \sim0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

if the lightbulb receives 100 J of electrical energy, and gives off 75 energy, how much heat (thermal energy away from the light
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

Explanation:

Given:

Energy receive by light bulb = 100 Joules

Energy released by light bulb as light energy = 75 Joules

Find:

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Computation:

We know that, energy is neither be created nor destroys

So,

Using Law of conservation of energy

Energy receive by light bulb = Energy released by light bulb as light energy + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

100 = 75 + Amount of heat energy released by light bulb

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 100 - 75

Amount of heat energy released by light bulb = 25 joules

What is the correct term for living the most sustainable life you can within your current circumstances?
tekilochka [14]

Answer:    Sustainable living

Explanation: It is a lifestyle by which an individual uses natural resources only as much as is necessary, which means in limited quantities, and thus reduces the general enormous exploitation of these resources. In this way, the needs of the individual are met and resources are put to use for generations to come. It also refers to personal resources as well as Earth resources in general.

It is obvious from today's point of view that if food was produced only as much as needed, it would mean not throwing away food, everyone, both those who could otherwise afford food and those who are now starving, would be fed up.

With the reduction of production not only of food but also of other necessities, that is, with production to meet the needs and not beyond, there would be less pollution and less emission of harmful hags and greenhouse effect.
