Answer: It is a helium nuclei.

Explanation: Alpha particles are produced when a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei in radioactive decay. Alpha particles have mass number and atomic number as 4 and 2 respectively.

General representation of alpha decay :

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}

Alpha particles are identical to helium nucleus. So alpha particles and helium nucleus are infact the same.
its Atomic Mass = 4
its Atomic number = 2
So it has two electrons , two neutrons.
It generally occurs in the decaying of a substance.

The total volume required to reach the endpoint of a titration required more than the 50 mL total volume of the buret. An initia
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The endpoint volume is 50.52 ±  0.14 mL

Explanation:

In a titration always is necessary to subtract the blank volume to the titrant volume to obtain the real volume of the titrant. Thus in this case, the total endpoint volume is the sum of the initial volume delivered and the second volume delivered, minus the blank volume:

V = (49.16±0.06 mL) + (1.69±0.04 mL) - (0.33±0.04 mL)

V = (49.16 + 1.69 - 0.33) ± (0.06+0.04+0.04) mL

V = 50.52 ±  0.14 mL

It is necessary to consider the sum of the errors too.
