A. iodine is located in period 5, group 17 and is classified
as a nonmetal
Group is the column, period is the raw.
Answer:
It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid
Explanation:
This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value
Try the solutions described in the attached picture, note the answers are marked with green colour.
Answer:
Gamma decay
Explanation:
There are 3 types of radioactive decay:
- Alpha decay: in this decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons, so a nucleus of helium). The alpha particle has a large charge (2e) and a large mass (4u), so it is strongly ionizing, and therefore loses energy faster while moving through matter, therefore its penetrating power is low (it can be easily stopped by a thin sheet of paper or by the skin)
- Beta decay: this decay occurs when a neutron in a nucleus turns into a proton, emitting a beta particle (a fast-moving electron) alongside with an antineutrino. The beta particle has a lower charge (e) and a smaller mass than the alpha particle, so it has a moderate penetrating power, being able to penetrate more than the alpha particle (the beta particle can be stopped by a thin sheet of aluminium)
- Gamma decay: this decay occurs when an excited nucleus decays emitting a gamma ray photon (which is electromagnetic energy with very high energy and frequency). The gamma ray photon has no charge and no mass, therefore it has the most penetrating power, being able to travel a much large distance before being absorbed by matter (several metres of concrete are required to stop gamma radiation.
So, the description in the question refers to gamma decay.
TRUE
They propagate perpendicular to each other in the case of an Electromagnetic waves....
Both can be seen in the case of a moving charge
Hope this helps!
