Answer: only Br2.

Justification.

In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.

So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.

Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:

Reactants side          Products side

K (0) K (1+)

Br (0)                          Br(1-)

So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.

And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.

Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.

Can alpha radiation affect electronics

Tom [10]

Answer:

Radiation effects on electrical equipment depend on the equipment and on the type of ionizing radiation to which it is exposed.

First, beta radiation has little, if any, effect on electrical equipment because this type of ionizing radiation is easily shielded. The equipment housing and the construction of the parts within the housing will protect the equipment from beta-radiation (high-energy electrons) exposure.

Gamma radiation is penetrating and can affect most electrical equipment. Simple equipment (like motors, switches, incandescent lights, wiring, and solenoids) is very radiation resistant and may never show any radiation effects, even after a very large radiation exposure. Diodes and computer chips (electronics) are much more sensitive to gamma radiation. To give you a comparison of effects, it takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv. Also, some electronics can be "hardened" (made to be not affected as much by larger gamma radiation doses) by providing shielding or by selecting radiation-resistant materials.

Some electronics do exhibit a recovery after being exposed to gamma radiation, after the radiation is stopped. But the recovery is hardly ever back to 100% functionality. Also, if the electronics are exposed to gamma radiation while unpowered, the gamma radiation effects are less.

Ionizing radiation breaks down the materials within the electrical equipment. For example, when wiring is exposed to gamma rays, no change is noticed until the wiring is flexed or bent. The wire's insulation becomes brittle and will break and may cause shorts in the equipment. The effect on diodes and computer chips is a bit more complex. The gamma rays disrupt the crystalline nature of the inside of the electronic component. Its function is degraded and then fails as more gamma radiation exposure is received by the electronic component.

Gamma rays do not affect the signals within the device or the signals received by the device. Nonionizing radiation (like radio signals, microwaves, and electromagnetic pulses) DO mess with the signals within and received by the device. I put a cheap electronic game in my microwave oven at home. It arced and sparked and was totally ruined. I didn’t waste any more of my time playing that game.

Hope this helps.

Based on the article "Will the real atomic model please stand up?,” describe one major change that occurred in the development o

nydimaria [60]

I don't know this article, but I do know some major changes: first, the change from the plum pudding model (no nucleus, just electrons) to the gold foil experiment, which had Rutherford shoot alpha particles at a sheet of gold only to find them rebounding, proving the existence of a positively charged mass, i.e a nucleus, in the atom. However, this changed again when Bohr realized that the negatively charged electrons should be attracted to the positively charged center, so that there must be something else inside the nucleus.
