What are the three types of nuclear particles emitted when a radioactive atom decay?

Chemistry
2 answers:
NISA [10]4 years ago
7 0

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

What makes calcium and nitrogen different list two differences
liberstina [14]

Answer:

the difference in electronegativity is so large (2.04) that the bonding electrons spend almost all their time on the nitrogen atom.

Explanation:

Because calcium loses 2 electrons to become Ca2+, and nitrogen gains 3 electrons to become N3−, you need two calcium atoms and three nitrogen atoms in order to form a neutral compound.

Hydrogen produced from a hydrolysis reaction was collected over water and the following data was compiled.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

  • 0.00358 mol

Explanation:

<u>1) Data:</u>

a) V = 93.90 ml

b) T = 28°C

c) P₁ = 744 mmHg

d) P₂ = 28.25 mmHg

d) n = ?

<u>2) Conversion of units</u>

a) V = 93.90 ml × 1.000 liter / 1,000 ml = 0.09390 liter

b) T = 28°C = 28 + 273.15 K = 301.15 K

c) P₁ = 744 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.9789 atm

d) P₂ = 28.5 mmHg × 1 atm / 760 mmHg = 0.0375 atm

<u>3) Chemical principles and formulae</u>

a) The total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each gas. Hence, the partical pressure of the hydrogen gas collected is equal to the total pressure less the vapor pressure of water.

b) Ideal gas equation: pV = nRT

<u>4) Solution:</u>

a) Partial pressure of hydrogen gas: 0.9789 atm - 0.0375 atm = 0.9414 atm

b) Moles of hygrogen gas:

pV = nRT ⇒ n = pV / (RT) =

n =  (0.9414 atm × 0.09390 liter) / (0.0821 atm-liter /K-mol × 301.15K) =

n = 0.00358 mol (which is rounded to 3 significant figures) ← answer

Lead will float in water.
Fed [463]

Actually, no. While their mass may be the same (1kg), the volume of lead is a lot smaller than that of feathers. As there is the same mass stuffed in a smaller space, it must be denser. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, so if the density of the lead is more than 1g/cm3, it has to sink

What force attracts any two pieces of matter in the universe?
Darya [45]
Hi,

The answer is gravity.
The bigger the object is the more are other smaller objects attracted to it. The opposite of gravity is dark energy which keeps objects apart and accelerates expansion of the universe.

Hope this helps.
