<span>Answer is: atomic number of resulting atom is 88.
Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.
Nuclear reaction: ²³</span>²Th → ²²⁸Ra + α (alpha particle).

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

What is true of intercellular signals that do not go through direct connections between cells, such as plasmodesmata?
Ronch [10]

I believe that what happens here is that when those cells carrying those intercellular signals do no pass through the connections, actually the signal is passed through or are transferred to adjacent cells for signal transmission, hence the answer is:

Use the equation n2 + 3h2=2nh3 if 8.0g N2 react, how many grams of NH3 will be produced
Eduardwww [97]

the balanced equation for the formation of ammonia is

N₂ + 3H₂ ---> 2NH₃

molar ratio of N₂ to NH₃ is 1:2

mass of N₂ reacted is 8.0 g

therefore number of N₂ moles reacted is - 8.0 g / 28 g/mol = 0.286 mol

according to the molar ratio,

1 mol of N₂ will react to give 2 mol of NH₃, assuming nitrogen is the limiting reactant

therefore 0.286 mol of N₂ should give - 2 x 0.286 mol = 0.572 mol of NH₃

therefore mass of NH₃ formed is - 0.572 mol x 17 g/mol = 9.72 g

a mass of 9.72 mol of NH₃ is formed
