Answer:

When an atoms has too many neutrons.

Explanation:

When an unstable atom loses energy and charged particles (radiation) through radiation it is a phenomenon called radioactive decay, when a substantial energy is lost the atom becomes stable.There are five types of radioactive decay:

  1. Alpha decay
  2. Beta negative decay
  3. Gamma decay
  4. Beta positive decay
  5. Electron capture

Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.

What evidence suggests that global climate change is causing the oceans to get warmer?
jasenka [17]

Answer:

A large point of evidence in this would be the rate of increase in how fast the polar ice caps are melting and the ocean is rising as a result. As the climate is getting warmer so are the oceans and this is causing the ice caps which are in the ocean.

Which statement describes a change that occurs during a chemical reaction? A. Atoms in the original substances are changed into
trapecia [35]

Answer:

B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

Explanation:

The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.

  • Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
  • The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
  • Therefore, atoms  of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.

How many atoms are in 5 mole of water?<br> Steps
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Explanation:

Based on Avogadro's law:

1 mole of any substance has 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

So, 1 mole of water = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms

5 moles of water = Z atoms

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

Z x 1 mole = (6.02 x 10^23 atoms x 5 moles)

Z•mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole

Divide both sides by 1 mole

Z•mole/1 mole = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms•mole/ 1 mole

Z = 30.1 x 10^23 atoms

[Place the value of Z in standard form]

Z = 3.01 x 10^24 atoms

Thus, there are 3.01 x 10^24 atoms in 5 mole of water
