What do gamma rays consists of?

2 answers:

4 0

Gamma rays consist of pure energy. Beta particles consist of one electron that is released at high speeds from an unstable nucleus and an alpha particle is a helium nucleus.

We know that Gamma rays consist of pure energy because, during Gamma decay, the atomic and mass numbers remain unchanged. Therefore, only energy is emitted.

Gamma rays are weakly ionising, however, they are strongly penetrating and thick concrete or a few centimetres of aluminium is needed to stop them.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The switch is used to disconnect or connect an electrical circuit. When the switch is on, the circuit is complete, and when the switch is off, the circuit is open. Electrical current exists in the circuit when it is closed, but when it is open, there is no electrical current in the circuit. The switch determines whether the circuit is open and closed.

Answer:

Explanation:

What you know is that the electrical energy comes from the wind turbine. Therefore the x must identify the type of energy that the wind turbine represents.

It must represent mechanical energy because blades of the wind turbine turns to produce electrical energy.

How does freezing affect the volume of water?

MrRissso [65]

Increases the volume of water

Explanation:

Freezing of water causes the volume of water to increase by a whooping 4%. This is why the density of water is slightly different that of ice.

When ice freezes it expands and takes up more volume of space for the same mass given.

This is why bottles break when water in them is frozen.

This increase in volume is why ice floats on water. It makes it less dense.

what is the structure of XeO2F2???i know its hybridization as sp3d but cannot quite understand its diagram in free space,help an

skelet666 [1.2K]

The shape of XeO₂F₂ is Trigonal bi-pyramidal see-saw tetrahedron (see attached pictures)
- As you said the hybridization of Xe here is sp³d so its geometry has to be Trigonal bi-pyramidal in which F atom located on axial positions but for the final shape we exclude lone pair on Xe to give see-saw shape (see second picture)
- Remember that we have 5 pairs (4 bond pairs + 1 lone pair) and we have to place lone pair at equatorial position.
