The presence of helium gas indicates the radioactive sample is most likely decaying by α-decay, or alpha decay. α-decay is the type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits α particles. α particles are Helium nuclei. So the correct answer would be α-decay.

Is this your own answer after the 2 points because if so i would say that is a good answer exept for keeping mountains from growing but they do cause giant black clouds that can block sunlight from the ground below

Plane polarized light with intensity I0 is incident on a polarizer. What angle should the principle axis make with respenct to t
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

 Q = 47.06 degrees

Explanation:

Given:

- The transmitted intensity I = 0.464 I_o

- Incident Intensity I = I_o

Find:

What angle should the principle axis make with respect to the incident polarization

Solution:

- The relation of transmitted Intensity I to to the incident intensity I_o on a plane paper with its principle axis is given by:

                                     I = I_o * cos^2 (Q)

- Where Q is the angle between the Incident polarized Light and its angle with the principle axis. Hence, Using the relation given above:

                                     Q = cos ^-1 (sqrt (I / I_o))

- Plug the values in:

                                     Q = cos^-1 ( sqrt (0.464))

                                     Q = cos^-1 (0.6811754546)

                                     Q = 47.06 degrees

Which value is defined as the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants
Brut [27]

Answer:

Heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH)

Explanation:

The heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the amount of heat energy that the system must release or absorb so that the temperature remains constant throughout the chemical reaction process. In other words, the heat of reaction or enthalpy of reaction (ΔH) is the change in the enthalpy of a chemical reaction (the energy  absorbed or released into it) that occurs at a constant pressure.

Then, this energy can be observed in the following way:

Every substance has a quantity of energy stored in its links. When the energy contained in the reagents is greater than that contained in the products, the reaction is exothermic because energy release occurs. When the energy contained in the reagents is less than that contained in the products, an endothermic reaction occurs because energy absorption occurs.

That energy contained in the substances is called enthalpy (H).  

Then the enthalpy can be defined as the difference between the sum of the enthalpies of the products and the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants.
