A). Until they have a stable nucleus.

loris [4]3 years ago

Answer:

A. They have a stable nucleus

Explanation:

Radioactivity is a spontaneous disintegration or decay of an unstable nuclei into a more stable nucleus along with the release of radiation in the form of elementary particles like alpha, beta or gamma particles or in the form of x-rays. The elements that exhibit this property are called radioactive elements or radioisotopes. They tend to lose their radioactivity over time which is usually expressed in terms of their half lives (t1/2) i.e. the time taken to decay into half of their original amount.

Isotope of Uranium with atomic mass of 235 amu is a radioactive element which is used in nuclear reactors to produce energy. It decays into a stable nucleus of Barium(Ba) and krypton(Kr) along with the release of 200 Mev energy.

₉₂U²³⁵ + ₀n¹  →   ₅₆Ba¹⁴¹ + ₃₆Kr⁹² + 3₀n¹ + 200 MeV energy

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

The order in which the orbitals is filled is 1s-2s-2p-3s-3p-4s-3d-4p-5s-4d-5p-6s-4f-5d-6p-7s-5f-6d-7p

Explanation:

S orbitals each hold two electrons, p orbitals hold 6, d orbitals hold 10, and f orbitals hold 14. 1s has the least energy and 7 p has the greatest energy, so the order in which they are filled is listed above.

The pressure system begins at 99.7 kpa.the volume of the gas is 150ml . What would be the final volume in the system if the pres
____ [38]
Assuming ideal behavior of the gas for a fixed amount when temperature is held constant, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional as given by the expression
     P1V1 = P2V2 
where the terms with subscripts of one represent the initial conditions for pressure and volume of the gas while for terms with subscripts of two represent the final  conditions. 
Rearranging the Boyle's law equation to calculate for the final volume V2:
     V2 = P1V1 / P2
     V2 = (99.7 kPa)(150 mL) / 99.8 kPa
     V2 = 149.85 mL

What is the percent by mass of nahco3 in a solution containing 10 g of nahco3 dissolved in 400 ml of h2o?
Marat540 [252]
Answer is: the percent by mass of NaHCO₃ is 2,43%.
m(NaHCO₃) = 10 g.
V(H₂O) = 400 ml.
d(H₂O) = 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = V(H₂O) · d(H₂O).
m(H₂O) = 400 ml · 1 g/ml.
m(H₂O) = 400 g.
m(solution) = m(H₂O) + m(NaHCO₃).
m(solution) = 400 g + 10 g.
m(solution) = 410 g.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 10 g ÷ 410 g · 100%.
ω(NaHCO₃) = 2,43 %

In the disproportionation reaction CI2 + H2Omc021-1.jpgHCIO + HCI, what describes the oxidation states of the substance Cl?
Sophie [7]
<span>Reaction: CI2 + H2O    ---->  HCIO + HCI

Oxidations states:

The oxitation state of Cl2 = 0, because the oxidation state of an atom alone or a molucule with one kind of atom is always 0.

The oxidation state of Cl in HClO is +1 because the oxidation state of H is + 1, the oxidation state of O is - 2, and the molecule is neutral, so  +1 + 1 - 2 = 0

The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is - 1, because the oxidation state of H is +1 and the molecule is neutral, so - 1 + 1 = 0.

Also, you shall remember that when an atom increases its oxidation state is is oxidized and when an atoms reduces its oxidations state it is reduced.

With that you conclude that the right option is the last statement: </span>Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.

HELPPPP DOES ANYONE KNOW<br> 34<br> 35<br> 36<br> 37
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

34- Solid

35-Metals form metallic bonds releasing one or more valence electrons to form a common electron reservoir which contains free mobile elactrons who will conduct electricity well.

36 When the cation is formed electrons are removed and the effective positive neuclear charge increases and it makes the remaining electrons accumulate around the neucleous making the cationic radius smaller than that of the atom
