Answer:

Alpha particles, Beta particles and Gamma rays

Explanation:

The emission of particles when a radioactive atom decays is called radioactivity.

An atom is radioactive as a result of unstable nucleus. This unstable nucleus of the atom disinintegrates and leads to emission of Alpha particles, Beta particles and gamma rays.

Alpha particles contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons. They are positively charged

Beta particles are negatively charged

Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves with short wavelength

viva [34]

Charles law states that volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature at constant pressure
V/T = k
where V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
where parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation

in the question it states that the temperature has been increased from 278 K to 231 K but it should actually be temperature is decreased from 278 K to 308 K
substituting the values in the equation
$\frac{417cm^{3} }{278K} = \frac{V}{308 K}$
V = 462 cm³
the answer should be D. 462 cm³

6. What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction?<br> C+02 = CO2

Orlov [11]

<h3> $\tt Kc=\dfrac{[CO_2]}{[C][O_2]}$ </h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

C+02 = CO2

Required

The equilibrium constant

Solution

The equilibrium constant is the ratio of concentration or pressure between the product and the reactant with each reaction coefficient raised

The equilibrium constant is based on the concentration (Kc) in a reaction

pA + qB -----> mC + nD

$\large {\boxed {\bold {Kc ~ = ~ \frac {[C] ^ m [D] ^ n} {[A] ^ p [B] ^ q}}}}$

So for the reaction :

C+O₂ ⇔ CO₂

$\tt Kc=\dfrac{[CO_2]}{[C][O_2]}$

Why does chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the presence of sunlight?

AleksandrR [38]

Chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the present of sunlight because chlorine has a great attraction for hydrogen's electron. During the reaction, chlorine and hydrogen will donate one electron each from their valence electrons which will be shared equally by both elements, thus forming a covalent bond.
