The daughter isotope : Radon-222 (Rn-222).
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an alpha decay
Required
The daughter nuclide
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same
Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra
Alpha particles : ₂⁴He
So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴ , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4
The reaction :
₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn
Answer: Chemical composition modification (or, physical signal would be color).
Answer:
physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid
Explanation:
Matter can be defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Any physical object that is found on earth is typically composed of matter. Matter are known to be made up of atoms and as a result has the property of existing in states.
Generally, matter exists in three (3) distinct or classical phases and these are; solid, liquid and gas.
A physical change can be defined as a type of change that only affects the physical form of a chemical substance (matter) without having any effect on its chemical properties. Thus, a physical change would only affect the physical appearance and properties of a chemical substance (matter) but not its chemical properties.
This ultimately implies that, a physical change result in a change of matter from one form or phase (liquid, solid or gas) to another without a corresponding change in chemical composition.
Hence, the boiling of water is considered to be a physical change because the gaseous water is chemically the same as the liquid i.e there isn't any changes in chemical composition of water when boiling.
A. the moon's gravitational pull on earth causes water to bulge on two sides of the earth
MgqI% = the formula and mass for H20 and that should be your answer for water
