Answer: At some point in your chemistry education, you may have been introduced to the song “The Elements in which Tom Lehrer does a rapid
fire musical rendition of all the elements' names. Like me, you may even have been offered the opportunity to memorize this song for extra credit. If so, it’s possible that you still remember the names of all the elements, which is an impressive feat—not to mention a fun trick to pull out at parties.
Explanation:
1 mol of Silicon = 28.0855 g (in average)
then
1 mol = 6.022*10^23 atoms
then
28.0855/(6.022*10^23) g/atom
4.66381*10^-23 g per atom
The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.
The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:
²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn
Answer:
A flower is self-pollinated if pollen is transferred to it from any flower of the same plant and cross-pollinated if the pollen comes from a flower on a different plant.
Explanation:
This is because each flower is capable of fertilizing itself by autogamy. Autogamy means that the male part of a flower sends pollen to the female part of the same flower.
Dimitri Mendeleev was the first to put elements together on a table. He knew there were elements missing but he noticed a trend in some of the elements known at the time. Sodium, Lithium and other alkali metals all have the same properties so he put them under the same column and created other columns with similar attributes (Halogens, Noble gases, Alkaline earth metals). Over the years, new elements were discovered and put into the rough outline that Mendeleev created.
I hope that is about what you wanted.
