Answer:

An acid

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius theory of acids and bases "an Arrhenius acid is a compound that increases the concentration of H+ ions that are present when added to water"

List the bonding pairs H and I; S and O; K and Br; Si and Cl, H and F; Se and S; C and H in order of increasing covalent charact

stellarik [79]

Answer:

1. (S,O) < (Se,S) < (C,H) = (H,I) = (H,F) < (Si,Cl) < (K,Br)

Explanation:

The covalent character always increases down the group, this is because ionic character decreases down the group and also electronegativity.

In the same way, Covalent character always decreases across a period because electronegativity increases across a period.

The higher the electronegativity values between the two atoms, the more ionic it will be.

Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is evidence of conduction?

Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

Conduction is a form of heat transfer between one body and another. It usually occurs when a warmer object is in contact with a cooler one. Heat generally flows from a region of high temperature to a place at a lower temperature.

Conduction is very pronounced in solid bodies.
The heat transfer causes a net transfer of the average kinetic energy of one body to the other.
Some examples are: heating of iron by a hotter metallic body, the pot hand getting hotter as cooking continues, cooling of ice by touching it.

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e$

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

$_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e$

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
