A - its condensation and gas particles have a higher kinetic energy
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Synthesis reaction and decomposition reactions are two opposing processes.
While a synthesis reaction has to do with the formation of a substance from its constituents, decomposition deals with the breakdown of a substance into its constituents.
While decomposition requires energy and is an endothermic process, synthesis is usually an exothermic process in which energy is given off as stable products are formed.
Answer:
<u>an element with a large number of valence electrons and a large atomic radius</u>
Explanation:
Electronegativity means a tedency when an atom attracts bonding electrons in a covalent bond situation.
» If an atom has many valency electrons [ <em>empty</em><em> </em><em>orbitals</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>t</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>m</em><em>o</em><em>s</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em>l</em><em>l</em><em> </em>], it has difficulty in attracting electrons hence electronegativity low.
» If an atom is large, its nuclear attraction force of incoming electrons is low hence low electronegativity.

Answer:
Volume of water added = 148.4 mL
Explanation:
Given data:
Initial volume = 424 mL
Initial molarity = 0.189 M
Final molarity = 0.140 M
Volume of water added = ?
Solution:
Formula:
M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
0.189 M×424 mL = 0.140 M×V₂
V₂ = 0.189 M×424 mL /0.140 M
V₂ = 80.136 M.mL / 0.140 M
V₂ = 572.4 mL
Final volume of solution is 572.4 mL.
Volume of water added = Final volume - initial volume
Volume of water added = 572.4 mL - 424 mL
Volume of water added = 148.4 mL
The correct options are as follows:
17. C.
Radioactive decay refers to the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by giving out radiations. The radiations emit can be in form of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays. Radioactive decay is a random process, that is, one can not predict when it would happen. Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom decay and no longer have enough binding energy to hold the atomic sub particles together.
18. B.
Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus no longer have enough energy to hold the sub particles in the nucleus together. This situation always occur when there are excess protons or neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. In the nucleus of an atom, two forces are usually at work, nuclear and electrostatic forces. While proton experience both of these forces, neutron only experience the nuclear force. These two forces that are in opposition bring about radioactive decay.
