In what ways does solar radiation *benefit* and *harm* life on the planet

allochka39001 [22]

It benefits of the solar radiation for out planet is that it gives us heat, natural sunlight and its pollution free.The disadvantage for solar radiation is that there are also some toxic materials and hazardous products used during the manufacturing process of solar photovoltaic systems, which can indirectly affect the environment.

Hope I helped^^

Differentiate between Acidic radical and basic radical

Paladinen [302]

Explanation:

Acidic radical

Acid radical is the ion formed after the removal of Hydrogen ion (H+) from an acid. Example: When H2SO4 loses H+ ion, it forms HSO4− which is an acid radical.

Basic radical

The ion formed after the removal of hydroxide ion (OH−) from a base is known as basic radical.

Write the symbol for each of the following ions:

kap26 [50]

Answer:

a) $_{31}^{71}\textrm {P^{3+}}$

b) $_{35}^{80}\textrm {Br^{-}}$

c) $_{90}^{232}\textrm {Th^{4+}}$

d) $_{38}^{87}\textrm {Sr^{2+}}$

Explanation:

For neutral atoms:

Atomic Number (Z)= number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number (A) = number of protons + number of neutrons

For ions with positive net charge:

Number of protons = Z + net charge

For ions with negative net charge:

Number of protons= Z - net charge

a) A = 71, Charge = +3

Number of electrons = 28

Number of protons = 28 +3 =31

$_{31}^{71}\textrm {P^{3+}}$

b) A = 35, Z = 45+35=80, Charge = -1

Number of protons =35

Number of neutrons = 45

Number of electrons = 36

Charge = Number of protons- Number of electrons =35-36 = -1

$_{35}^{80}\textrm {Br^{-}}$

c) Charge = +4

Number of electrons = 86

Number of protons = Z = 86+4 = 90

mass number = A = 90+142 = 232

$_{90}^{232}\textrm {Th^{4+}}$

d) Charge = +2

Atomic number = Number of protons = Z = 38

mass number = A = 87

$_{38}^{87}\textrm {Sr^{2+}}$
