Write a balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of americium-241

1 answer:

5 0

When you say alpha decay, it means that the reaction would yield alpha particles. An alpha particle, α, is like helium; it has 2 protons and 4 as its mass number. So, the balanced nuclear reaction is:

Let the first number written after the element symbol be the superscript and the number after the comma be the subscript.

<em>Am241,95 --> α4,2 + Np237,93</em>

Base on the question all about the human eye were an optic nerve of it needs an energy of 2.10x10^-17J that could trigger a series of impulses that eventually reach to the brain. So the possible photons of blue light needed for for this energy is 52 photons

I'm not sure about part 1, you may need to google it, but part two is 11 protons, 11 electrons and 12 neutrons. You can find protons and electrons by just looking at the atomic number, and you can find neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass.

What would happen to the sup- ply of ATP in your cells if you did not eat enough carbohydrates? How would this affect your cells

harina [27]

Answer:

ATP supply will reduced or decrease drastically

Explanation:

ATP will reduced because carbohydrates are energy given food. Chemical energy are in carbohydrates, therefore when the undergo digestion i.e breakdown of larger pieces into smaller pieces, it is broken down into glucose i.e energy is released. Therefore, if there is now carbohydrates, ATP supply will reduced and there won't be energy needed for different cellular metabolic activities. The breakdown of carbohydrate supply energy.
