When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.

An infant ibuprofen suspension contains 100 mg/5.0mL suspension. The recommended dose is 10 mg/kg body weight.How many millilite
Molodets [167]
Converts the 25 lb to kg 

multiply the kilograms by the dose (10 mg/kg)

multiply the amount of ibuprofen by the conversion factor of the concentration of the suspension to calculate the mL

25 lb x  0.453592 kg/1lb=  "A kg"

A kg x 10 mg/kg = B mg

B mg x  5.0 mL/ 100 mg = "C mL of suspension"

If 1,000 mL = 1 L, which of the following are possible conversion factors for liters and milliliters? Check all that apply.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Two conversion factors:

         1=\dfrac{1L}{1,000ml}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1,000mL}{1L}

Explanation:

You can create two possible <em>conversion factors</em>, one to convert from mL to L, and one to convert from L to mL

<u />

<u>a) From mL to L</u>

To convert mL to L you need to multiply by a conversion factor that has mL on the denominator and L in the numerator.

Your starting point is: 1,000mL=1L

Then, divide both sides by 1,000mL (this will be on the denominator of the fraction);

       1,000mL=1L\\\\ \\\dfrac{1,000ml}{1,000mL}=\dfrac{1L}{1,000mL}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1L}{1,000mL}

<u>b) From L to mL</u>

Divide both sides by 1 L:

            1,000mL=1L\\\\ \\\dfrac{1,000ml}{1L}=\dfrac{1L}{1L}\\ \\ \\ 1=\dfrac{1,000mL}{1L}

Choose the selection which correctly characterizes all three of the following substances in terms of whether they are polar or n
ohaa [14]

Answer:

SiH4 is nonpolar and BBr3 is nonpolar and SiF4 is nonpolar.

Explanation:

SiH4 is a non-polar compound. Though the Si–H bonds are polar, as a result of different electronegativities of Si and H. However, as there are 4 electron repulsions around the central Si atom, the polar bonds are arranged symmetrically around the central atom having a tetrahedral shape hence they cancel out making the compound nonpolar.

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine atoms are arranged symetrically around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out just like in SiH4.

The 3 bromine atoms all lie in the same plane thus the geometry of the compound will be trigonal planar. The BBr3 will be non polar because the three B-Br bonds will cancel out each others' dipole moment given that they are in the same plane.

Which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? which compound is most likely to contain ionic bonds? mgf2 ch4 n2o?
AnnyKZ [126]
Answer is: MgF₂, magnesium fluoride.
Magnesium fluoride is salt, ionic compound, because magnesium is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons, fluorine is nonmetal with greatest electronegativity, which meand it easily gain electron, so magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) and fluorine anion (F⁻) are formed.
