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.

Explain the difference between the reacts and products of a chemical reaction
Alika [10]
Reactants are what is changed in the chemical reaction. They go before the arrow when you wrote the equation. Products are what is formed when the chemical reaction occurs. Products always contain the same elements as the reactants, but they might be rearranged because of the reaction. In this picture, you can see that the reactants go before the arrow, and the products go after.

What will be the new volume of a 250 mL sample of gas at 300 K and 1 atm if heated to 350 K at 1 atm? Law used:
ladessa [460]
Using Charles's law; which states that the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature at constant pressure. 
That is; V α T
Hence; V1/T1 = V2/T2 = constant
V2 =  V1 × (T2/T1)
    = 250 × (350/300) = 291.67 mL
Therefore; the new volume will be 291.67 mL

Rutherford investigated atoms by firing small, positively charged particles at a thin sheet of gold foil. What results would he
Bezzdna [24]
If Thomson’s model of the atom were correct, Rutherford should have seen a complete reflection of those particles when fired at the foil. Those particles would have hit a solid object (Thomson model) and would have been reflected back at the emitter. However, Rutherford discovered that most of those particles passed through the sheet, either continuing straight through or having the angle change a small amount (bouncing off the nucleus). Only a small number of the particles were reflected back, having hit the nucleus straight on. This led him to believe that there was a small, dense portion of the atom that resided within a larger, emptier space.
