(9) Which is true from the following ?
fredd [130]

Answer:

The correct answer is A and D.

Explanation:

Please I want brainliest.

Reason:

The size of the ions follows the order:

Negatively charged ion > Neutral atom >

Positively charged ion

This is because of the size of ions increases when the electrons are added to the outermost shell of an atom.

This happens due to the increase in

electron-electron repulsion.

Moreover, when the electrons are removed from an atom, then the affective nuclear charge that is experienced by the outermost electron increases.

Thus the size of the positively charged ion is least.

Two types of heterogeneous mixtures are suspensions and colloids.<br>true or false<br><br>​
scoray [572]
<h2>Answer:True</h2>

Explanation:

Heterogeneous mixture is a mixture with non-uniform composition.

The properties of the mixture like concentration may change for different parts of the mixture.

Colloids contain solute particles of size 2nm-500nm.The presence of these particles makes the mixture heterogeneous.

Suspensions contain solute particles of size 500nm-1000nm.These particles settle to the bottom of the mixture which makes the composition of the bottom different from the top.

So,colloids and suspensions are two types of heterogeneous mixtures.

After undergoing alpha decay, an atom of radium-226 becomes
Zanzabum
The answer is b. radon-222. The alpha decay means that it will emit an alpha particle when decays. The alpha particle has two protons and two neutrons. So Radium(88) minus two protons will become Radon(86). And the atomic mass will become 226-4=222.
