Answer:
The uranium in the sample of the compound is radioactive
Explanation:
Some atoms can split on their own. Some split when bombarded by energetic particles. Such atoms are said to be radioactive.
Radioactivity is borne out of the drive of an atom to reach stabillity. Every atom have a specific neutron/proton ratio which ensures stability of the nucleus. A nucleus with a stability ratio different from that which makes it stable will become unstable and split into one or more other nuclei with emissons of energetic particles.
Note: neutrons and protons dictates the mass of an atom. They are located in the nucleus which is the site for nuclear radioactive reactions.
Salt makes the freezing point of water decrease, so it would freeze at a warmer temperature than regular water
Answer:
Chemical properties, such as combustibility, are generally observed as the identity of a substance changes and one or more new substances form.
Explanation:
Chemical change involves formation of new substances. Therefore, the correct answer is "Chemical properties, such as combustibility, are generally observed as the identity of a substance changes and one or more new substances form."
Answer:
Explanation:
Let's rewrite the given word equation in its chemical balanced equation representation:
1. Lead(II) nitride is represented by lead, Pb, in an oxidation state of 2+, while nitride is a typical nitrogen anion with a state 3-. As a result, the lowest common multiple between 2 and 3 is 6, meaning 2 lead cations are needed to balance 3 nitrogen anions: 
.
2. Ammonium sulfate consists of an ammonium cation with a 1+ charge and sulfate anion with a 2- charge, two ammonium cations needed: 
.
3. Lead(II) sulfate would have one lead cation and one sulfate anion, as they have the same magnitude of charges with opposite signs: 
.
4. Ammonium nitride would require three amonium cations to balance the nitride anion: 
.
Let's write the balanced equation:
