Alpha partical is a He nucleus. When decaying alpha particle mass is reduced by 4 and atomic number is reduced by 2.

The actual element which has 102 protons is No (Nobelium). 
Since it has 167 neutrons, the mass = protons + neutrons = 102 + 167 = 269

after an alpha decay, the new element formed has 100 protons which is Fm ( Fermium)

the alpha decaying equation is,

    ₁₀₂²⁶⁹No → ₁₀₀²⁶⁵Fm + ₂⁴α + heat

the total mass and the atomic number( numbe rof protons) must be equal in both sides.

When cells are dividing, it is
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Chromosome is basically made of DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Chromosomes contain thread like structure present inside the nucleus of the cell.Chromosome is generally made of DNA and proteins(Histone proteins).

      The DNA is wrapped around the basic protein histone to provide support  the chromosome structure.

    The  wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins helps in the formation of nucleosome which helps in the packing of DNA inside the chromosome.

How many atoms are in 578g Na
borishaifa [10]

1.51 x 10²⁵atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of Na = 578g

Unknown:

Number of atoms = ?

Solution:

 To find the number of atoms, we must first find the number of moles the given mass contains.

  Number of moles  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

   molar mass of Na = 23g

 Number of moles =  \frac{578}{23} =  25.13moles

   1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³atoms

    25.13 mole of Na = 25.13 x  6.02 x 10²³atoms

 This gives  1.51 x 10²⁵atoms of Na
