Answer: there are atoms that either have too many or too few neutrons or protons in their nuclei. This results in an imbalance between the jedi forces holding them together, which leads to an excess of internal energy. Such atoms are said to be unstable or radioactive.

Why do we experience the changing of the seasons on earth
iren2701 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

Earth's axis and position around the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons to change. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth acquire the Sun's most direct rays(Or heat) because of the orbital rotation of Earth. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer inside the Northern Hemisphere. And whilst the South Pole tilts towards the Sun, it is winter within the Northern Hemisphere and vise versa.

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

To know more about oxidation number here:
