1) Radioactive decay is the spontaneous decomposition of the unstable nucleus of an atom.

2) The emission of a particle or a photon.

For example, alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus).

3) The result is usually more stable element with smaller atomic number.

For example, in alpha decay atom transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

For example nuclear fission is radioactive decay process in which the nucleus of an atom splits into smaller parts and huge amount of energy is released.

Answer:

Here's what they put

Explanation:

Sample Response: Radioactive decay is the process in which the nucleus of an unstable isotope spontaneously changes, releasing particles and energy. An unstable isotope will continue to decay until it reaches the stable form of either a different isotope of the same element that is stable or a different element that is stable.

At 50.14k a substance has a vapor pressure of 258.9 torr. calculate its heat of vaporization in kj/mol if it has a vapor pressur
gayaneshka [121]
T₁ = 50,14 K.
p₁ = 258,9 torr.
T₂ = 161,2 K.
p₂ = 277,5 torr.
R = 8,314 J/K·mol.
Using Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(p₁/p₂) = - ΔHvap/R · (1/T₁ - 1/T₂).
ln(258,9 torr/277,5 torr) = -ΔHvap/8,314 J/K·mol · (1/50,14 K - 1/161,2 K).
-0,069 = -ΔHvap/8,314 J/K·mol · (0,0199 1/K - 0,0062 1/K).
0,0137·ΔHvap = 0,573 J/mol.
ΔHvap = 41,82 J.
