The mentioned isotopes are isotopes of elements Uranium (U) and Lead (Pb). The atomic number of U and Pb are 92 and 82, respectively. When an isotope is reported as U-238 for example, 238 is the mass number, which is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons. Since we know the atomic number, we can find the neutrons from the mass number. For the number of electrons, it is equal to the number of protons because it is neutral.

1. U-238
Number of protons: 92
Number of electrons: 92
Number of neutrons: 238 - 92 = 146

2. U-234
Number of protons: 92
Number of electrons: 92
Number of neutrons: 234 - 92 = 142

3. Pb-214
Number of protons: 82
Number of electrons: 82
Number of neutrons: 214 - 82 = 132

4. Pb-210
Number of protons: 82
Number of electrons: 82
Number of neutrons: 210 - 82 = 128

5. Pb-206
Number of protons: 82
Number of electrons: 82
Number of neutrons: 206 - 82 = 124

How many decigrams are in 4.6 decagrams?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{460 dg}}

Explanation:

1. Convert decagrams to grams

\text{Mass} =  \text{4.6 dag} \times\dfrac{\text{10 g}}{\text{1 dag}} = \text{46 g}

2. Convert grams to decigrams

\\text{Mass} =  \text{46 g} \times\dfrac{\text{10 g}}{\text{1 dg}} = \text{460 dg}\\\\\large \boxed{\textbf{4.6 dag = 460 dg}}

Describe the effect of subjecting hydrogen to pressure​
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

When hydrogen is subjected to large enough pressure, it solidifies according to theory.

Explanation:

According to theory, when  hydrogen molecules are subjected to enormous degree of pressure the molecules will solidify.

What happens here is that the hydrogen–hydrogen bonds in the hydrogen molecule will break apart and the molecules collapses into hydrogen atoms.

Hence, when hydrogen is subjected to large enough pressure, it solidifies according to theory.

In general, which two factors determine the overall temperature of earth's atmosphere?
ehidna [41]
These two factors are:
*radiation coming into the Earth's atmosphere
*radiation going out the Earth's atmosphere

These two factors could be lumped into one natural phenomenon called the greenhouse effect. The Earth's atmosphere is a very unique characteristic in the solar system because it makes the planet livable. Without the atmosphere's work, the day would be too hot and the night would be too cold. The trapping of radiation, hence heat, keeps the overall temperature of the Earth.

29) What type of chemical reaction is given by the following balanced equation: Al2O3 → Al + O2
Law Incorporation [45]

Decomposition.

Decomposition is the chemical reaction in which a compound breaks down into the two elements or molecules that formed the compound. In this case, Dialuminium Trioxide has broken down into the basic components of Al2 and O2.

Hope this helps!
