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

The electrolyte of the following is:
ozzi
An electrolyte is a term used to describe a compound that can dissociate into ions as it is nothing but an ionic compound, a salt made up of a positively charged cation and negatively charged anion.

Here the correct answer is D. Since there are no hydrocarbons or any other organic compound, that do not possess partial let alone full charges, all of them can dissociate in solution to give their ions.

This allows for the solution to be able to conduct electricity.

What is the solubility of MgCO₃ in a solution that contains 0.080 M Mg²⁺ ions? (Ksp of MgCO₃ is 3.5 × 10⁻⁸)
Alchen [17]

Answer: 4.4 x 10^-7

Explanation:

The dissociation equation for this reaction is:

MgCO3 (s) → Mg+2 (aq) + CO3-2 (aq)

\text { So, } k_{s p}=(x+0.08) x (Here 0.08 >>> x )

\begin{aligned}\Rightarrow 3.5 \times 10^{-8} &=0.08 \times x \\\Rightarrow x &=\frac{3.5}{0.08} \times 10^{-8} \\&=4.37 \times 10^{-7} \\\Rightarrow x & \approx 4.4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~M}\end{aligned}

So the solubility MgCO₃ in a solution that containing 0.080 M Mg²⁺ is 4.4 x 10^-7

3 elements that have similar properties
qwelly [4]

Answer:The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (other than hydrogen) are known as Group 1A metals, or alkali metals. When you compare the chemical properties of these elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium), what you'll notice is that they are all remarkably similar.

Whats the difference between hetergeneous and homogeneous?
yanalaym [24]
In Homogeneous, "Homo" means same, so homogeneous means the same nature or kind.

 Heterogeneous is the opposite. It means diverse.
 
A good way to remember is just think of homo as same. And the rest should come to you.

Hope this helps! :)

How are vibrations different between bigger sizes rubber bands and smaller sized rubber bands?
arlik [135]
Assuming the kind of vibration you are talking about is the kind where you stretch the rubber band between two points and then "twang" it, then the answer is fairly complex. What happens when you cause the vibrations to start is you make something called a "standing wave". In a standing wave, each particle in the rubber band has a certain amount of energy which causes it to move backwards and forwards, the particles with more energy have a larger "amplitude" (how much they move), and of course the particles with less energy have a smaller amplitude. Now a standing wave has two main components: The amplitude, and the frequency. The amplitude of the whole wave refers to the largest amplitude any particles has. The frequency refers to how often it takes for one of the particles to move between the two furthest away points it can be.
To compare rubber bands, you must remember to keep certain things constant. If you're looking at their vibrations, the amount of energy you use to "twang" the rubber band should be the same each time you twang it (which is the same as applying the same force each time you twang it).

A larger rubber band has more area over which to spread the energy, as well as it has more mass for the energy to move, so the vibrations will have smaller amplitudes, and smaller frequencies, overall vibrating less and with smaller vibrations.
