Following is the balanced <span>radioactive decay series:
</span><span>
Particle/radiations generated during the reaction are labeled in bold at end of reaction. 

Care must be taken that, atomic number and atomic mass number should be balanced in each of these reactions.

1) 92 238U </span>→ <span> 90 234Th + 2 4He(</span>α particle<span>)

A = </span>90 234Th because alpha particle is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 92 - 2 = 90. This corresponds to Th. <span>

2) 90 234Th  </span>→<span> 91 234Pa + -1 0e (electron)

B = -1 0e i.e electron
 because after radioactive disintegration atomic number of daughter element (Pa) is +1 as compared to parent element (Th)


3) 91 234Pa  </span>→<span> 92 234U + –1 0e (electron)

</span>C = 92 234U because electron is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 91 - (-1) = 92. This corresponds to U. <span>

4) 92 234U </span>→ 90 230Th + 2 4He (α particle<span>)

</span><span>In this case, 92 234U undergoes nuclear disintegration to generate 90 230Th and alpha particle

5) 90 230Th </span>→<span> 88 226Ra + 2 4He </span>(α particle)

D = 88 226Ra because alpha particle is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 90 - 2 = 88. This corresponds to Ra. 

<span>6) 88 266Ra </span>→ 86 222Rn + 2 4He (α particle)

E = alpha particle because during nuclear disintegration, 88 266Ra is converted into 86 222Rn. Hence, for mass balance we have 88 - 86 = 2. It corresponds to alpha particles.
<span>
7) 86 222Rn </span>→<span> 84 218Po + 2 4He </span>(α particle)

Again, F = alpha particle because during nuclear disintegration, 86 222Rn is converted into 84 218Rn. Hence, for mass balance we have 86 - 84 = 2. It corresponds to alpha particles.
<span>
8) 84 218Po </span>→<span> 82 214Pb + 2 4He </span>(α particle)

G = 82 214Pb because alpha particle is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 84 - 2 = 82. This corresponds to Pb.
<span>
9) 82 214Pb </span>→<span> 83 214Bi + -1 0e (electron)

H = </span>-1 0e because after radioactive disintegration atomic number of daughter element (Bi) is +1 as compared to parent element (Pb)<span>

10) 83 214Bi </span>→<span> 84 214Po + –1 0e (electron)

I = 
</span>84 214Po because electron is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 83 - (-1) = 84. This corresponds to Po.<span>

11) 84 214Po </span>→<span> 82 210Pb + 2  4He </span>(α particle)

J = 82 210Pb because alpha particle is emitted along with it. So atomic number of daughter element has to be 84 - 2 = 82. This corresponds to Pb.

Ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling.
sweet-ann [11.9K]
It is a true fact that ionic crystals are excellent insulators and can hold a large amount of heat before melting or boiling. The correct option among the two options that are given in the question is the first option. Salt is a great example of ionic crystals and we know that it takes a huge amount of time to melt or boil.

Is light an external or internal stimulus for plant?explain how plants react to light
allochka39001 [22]
External

Stimuli are anything that causes arousal or enables an object to respond or react.

There are many different kinds of stimuli for which is different for every organism, for example, water, light and carbon dioxide are three stimuli and materials needed for photosynthesis in plants to manifest.
<span>In humans, we have nutrients or food, oxygen and water for us to survive. These are stimuli, eyes need light as a stimuli for it see and function. Nasal receptors needs smell as stimuli caused by molecular reactions of an object as a stimuli. And others. </span>

How many atoms it would take to make up the thickness of a banknote.
natita [175]

Answer:

Since one banknote has a thickness of about 0.1 millimeters, if all the banknotes produced in a year were stacked up, they would reach a height of approximately 300 kilometers, which is about 80 times the height of Mount Fuji.

Why do you think the atomic number is basically represented by the number of protons and not the number of electrons?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The atomic number equals the charge on the nucleus. It therefore also equals the number of protons in the nucleus and also equals numerically the number of electrons in the neutral atom. i think so, hope this helps you
