Answer:

C. Gamma > beta > alpha

Explanation:

<u>Alpha rays</u> : These are positively charged and have mass 4u. These contain high energy Helium nucleus with 2 proton and 2 neutron.

These are heavier and maximum charged than beta and gamma particles.They have low velocity,least penetration power (can't travel more than 10-18 cm).

<u>Beta rays</u> : They are negatively charged and have negligible mass.

On emmission of beta particle, neutron is divided into proton and electron. They have less mass and very high velocity, so their penetrating power is more than alpha particles.

<u>Gamma rays</u>: These are parts of electromagnetic spectrum and travel with the speed of light (maximum velocity).Gamma rays do not have mass have maximum penetrating power.

What 3 things drive the pressure of a gas up

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

<h3>Density of the Gas</h3>

Explanation:

More molecules mean more hits against the container walls. Increasing the number of particles means you have increased the density of the gas. This third factor is part of the ideal gas law, which explains how these three factors -- temperature, volume and density -- interact with each other.

Which notation represents the largest atomic radius?

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Calcium(Ca)

Explanation:

Atomic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an atom the outermost energy shell or energy level.
The atomic radii of metals are greater than the ionic radii since metals form ions by losing electrons.
Calcium atom has a larger atomic radius compared to magnesium atom because it has more energy levels. Calcium atoms have four energy levels while magnesium atoms have three energy levels.

In the first distillation this week, which component of the original solvent mixture makes the larger contribution to the vapor

Olenka [21]

In the first distillation this week, Hexane from the original solvent makes a larger contribution to the vapor pressure of the mixture.

In between hexane and toluene, the hexane will have more vapor pressure contribution in the solution. The boiling point of hexane is much lower than toluene. Therefore, it will evaporate easily at low temperatures and start exerting pressure on the solution.

Hence between hexane and toluene, because of more vapor pressure of hexane and lower boiling point, it will easily evaporate and exerts pressure.

Therefore, from the original solvent, hexane makes a larger contribution to the vapor pressure of the mixture.
