Answer is "C"

alpha decay is an emission of ₂⁴He nucleus. If an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass of the daughter nucleus formed is reduced by 4 compared to mass of parent atom and atomic number is reduced by 2 compared to atomic number of parent atom.

What elements react the most? Like have the most reactivity.
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

If you mean what group of elements react the most, the answer is the alkali metals and the halogens because they both only either need to gain or lose one electron. If you mean the most reactive element, it would be fluorine because it has the most electronegativity.

Which of the following best defines the internal energy of a system?
Anarel [89]
 <span>In thermodynamics, the internal energy of a thermodynamic system, or a body with well-defined boundaries, denoted by U, or sometimes E, is the total of the kinetic energy due to the motion of molecules (translational, rotational, vibrational) and the potential energy associated with the vibrational and electric energy of atoms within molecules or crystals. It includes the energy in all the chemical bonds, and the energy of the free, conduction electrons in metals.</span>

Write the full ground state electron configuration of C − C− . electron configuration: Which neutral atom is isoelectronic with
stepan [7]

Answer: 1. Is2 2s2 2p3

2. Nitrogen

Explanation: The number of electron present In C = 6

But an extra electron is added since the charge on C is -1, this therefore makes the total electron 7.

1. By arrangement, the Electronic configuration is therefore;

Ans: 1s2 2s2 2p3

2. It is explained how C has 7 electrons, we can proceed then.

Neutral atom have atomic number of 7.

The element with atomic number of 7 is;

Ans: NITROGEN

What is going to happen to a balloon filled with helium that is left in a car over night when the temperature drops approximatel
Scilla [17]

Answer:

<u><em>When balloon filled with the helium gas is left in the car at night along with the decrease in temperature the size of the balloon will get smaller or it will look like little deflated</em></u>.The above observation can be explained on the basis of Charles law:The law states that 'under constant pressure ,the volume occupied by the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas'. (At constant pressure)Temperature desecrate volume will also decreases and vice versa.So, with decrease in temperature at night the temperature of the gas in the balloon will also get decreased due to which the volume of the balloon will also get decreased.
