Answer:

Helium nuclei is emitted during alpha decay.

Explanation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

Example:

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

One mechanism for the synthesis of ammonia proposes that N₂ and H₂ molecules catalytically dissociate into atoms:N₂ ⇆ 2N(g) log
Pavlova-9 [17]

The artificial fixation of nitrogen (N2) has enormous energy, environmental, and societal impact, the most important of which is the synthesis of ammonia (NH3) for fertilizers that help support nearly half of the world's population.

<h3>Artificial fixation of nitrogen</h3>

a) The equilibrium constant expression is Kp​=PCH4​​ PH2​ O​P CO​×PH 2​3​​.

(b) (i) As the pressure increases, the equilibrium will shift to the left so that less number of moles are produced.

(ii) For an exothermic reaction, with the increase in temperature, the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.

(iii) When a catalyst is used, the equilibrium is not disturbed. The equilibrium is quickly attained

If you are asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, which statement best defines a gas?
Elza [17]
I am pretty sure that <span>If I were asked to compare matter in solid, liquid, and gaseous states, the statement which would best defined a gas is </span>highest energy, highest molecular motion, and least dense packaging of molecules. I choose this one because it's not sensible to <span>heat CO2 (in case of safety) and in the last option the amount of energy is not satisfying.

Hope it helps!</span>

a chemist studies two forms of refined gasoline. which of the following branches of chemistry might the chemist us?
valentinak56 [21]
The branch of chemistry that the chemist might use will be the branch of <em>organic chemistry</em>. This is because gasoline is an organic compound. We can say that a compound is organic if it contains a carbon atom. Gasoline is composed of long chains of alkanes (hydrocarbons with single bonds) ranging from 4 carbon atoms to 12 carbon atoms.
