The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice which is "<span>An unstable nucleus decays into a more stable nucleus."

</span>Radioactive decay<span> (also known as </span>nuclear decay<span> or </span>radioactivity<span>) is the process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting radiation, including alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and conversion electrons. A material that spontaneously emits such radiation is considered </span>radioactive<span>.</span>

What is an indicator? What does it tell you about solutions?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The common application of indicators is the detection of end points of titrations. The colour of an indicator alters when the acidity or the oxidizing strength of the solution, or the concentration of a certain chemical species, reaches a critical range of values.

A chemistry student needs 60.0 ml of ethanolamine for an experiment. By consulting the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, th
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The student should weigh out 61.2g of ethanolamine [6.12 * 10]

Explanation:

In this question, we are expected to calculate the mass of ethanolamine needed to make 60.0ml of it given that the density of the ethanolamine in question is 1.02g/cm^3

Mathematically, it has been shown that mass = density * volume

Hence, by multiplying the density by the volume, we get the mass.

Now, from the question we can see that we have the values for the density and the volume. We now need to get the mass.

Since cm^3 is same as ml, we need not perform any conversion.

Hence, the needed mass is:

60 * 1.02 = 61.2g

Answer:

Liquid helium

Explanation:

Liquid helium is known to be the coldest element in the world.

It has a ridiculous boiling point of -452 degrees

It is considered the only element on earth that does not freeze to become solid. normally, it is usually in a form of cryogenic fluid or superfluid.

Hence, the coldest element is known as LIQUID HELIUM

Answer:

What substance changed physically under all three condition? Copper Wire

What substance changed chemically under all three condition? Steel Wool

What evidence indicates a chemical reaction is occurring? New gases are produced; A phase change has occurred; A color change

Select the three answers that are examples of a chemical reaction. The mixing of an acid and base shows an increase in temperature; after baking bread there is a new odor or smell; when hair is bleached it changes to a lighter color

Which data supports this inference? Baking soda dissolving; A gas formed, creating bubbles

Which experiment best shows evidence of energy being released in a chemical reaction? Heat and light are given off when paper is burned

Which experiment likely resulted in the formation of a precipitate? Two solutions are mixed together and a yellow solid forms

The BEST evidence for a chemical reaction is the formation of a new substance.

Explanation:

2. When heat and light are being given off, energy is being released. Paper burning is a chemical reaction b/c when paper is burnt, it is a new substance and the act can't be undone.

3. When a yellow solid forms, that solid is the participate.

4. You will for sure have a chemical reaction if a new substance is created.

5. Copper wire changed physically b/c the copper wire can be returned to its original condition in all of these situations and no new substance was formed. Steel Wool changed chemically b/c it can't be returned to its original state under any condition and new substances were formed every time.

6. New substances formed indicate a chemical reaction. A color change also is an indication of a chemical reaction.

7. When a substance can't be turned into its original position or a new substance is produced, a chemical reaction occurred.
