What are three common types of radioactivity given off by unstable atoms? How are they
1 answer:
Answer:
<h3>ALPHA DECAY</h3>Alpha decay or α-decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle and thereby transforms or 'decays' into a different atomic nucleus, with a mass number that is reduced by four and an atomic number that is reduced by two.
<h3>BETA DECAY</h3>Beta decay is one process that unstable atoms can use to become more stable
in beta DECAY parent nuclide has proton number increased by 1 and mass number is same
<h3>GAMMA DECAY</h3>Gamma decay is one type of radioactive decay that a nucleus can undergo. What separates this type of decay process from alpha or beta decay is that no particles are ejected from the nucleus when it undergoes this type of decay. Instead, a high energy form of electromagnetic radiation - a gamma ray photon - is released. Gamma rays are simply photons that have extremely high energies which are highly ionizing.[1] As well, gamma radiation is unique in the sense that undergoing gamma decay does not change the structure or composition of the atom. Instead, it only changes the energy of the atom s

In the crystallization process the solid compound is dissolved in the solvent at elevated temperature and the crystallize product obtained by slow cooling of the solution. Here the solubility of acetanilide at 100°C is 1g per 20mL of water. Thus to dissolve 500mg of acetanilide at high temperature that is 100°C we need 10mL of water.
Now at 25°C after the re-crystallization there will be some amount of dissolve acetanilide. Which can be calculated as- 185mL of water is needed to dissolve 1g or 1000mg of acetanilide at 25°C. Thus in 10mL of water there will be gmg of acetanilide.
