Answer : The correct option is, (C) alpha = nucleus of a helium atom, beta = electron,  gamma = photon

Explanation :

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) alpha = nucleus of a helium atom, beta = electron,  gamma = photon

What is the main exception in the atomic radius? Explain.
yarga [219]

Answer:

The atomic radius of atoms generally decreases from left to right across a period. There are some small exceptions, such as the oxygen radius being slightly greater than the nitrogen radius. Within a period, protons are added to the nucleus as electrons are being added to the same principal energy level.

hope this helps!

I need help with Chemistry: Mole Conversion<br> It must be answered in complete detail
Anni [7]

Answer:

As Per Given Information

Number of moles SO₂ ( Sulphur dioxide ) is 0.30

We 've been asked to find the number of atoms in given moles of Sulphur dioxide .

Value of Avogadro Number is 6.022 × 10²³ mol⁻¹

For finding the number of atoms we will use formale

\underline{\boxed{\textbf{\textsf{ Number \: of \: atoms \:  = Given \: moles \:  . Avogadro \: number}}}}

Putting the given value we obtain

\sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \:  = 0.30 \times 6.022 \times  {10}^{  23}    \\  \\ \sf \twoheadrightarrow \: Number \: of \: atoms \:  = \: 1.8066 \times  {10}^{ 23} atoms

So, the number of atoms in sulphur dioxide is 1.8066 × 10²³
