Is the following nuclear equation balanced? 237 Np - He+233 AM

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flura [38]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Np²³⁷   →  He⁴ + Am²³³

The given nuclear equation is balanced. Np²³⁷ undergoes alpha decay and produce alpha particle and Am²³³.

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Number 1 is incorrect, the genotypes are given to you. You need to use GG and gg. The outcome would be 100% Gg.

Number 2 is incorrect, the genotypes are given to you. You need to use Gg and Gg. The outcome would be 25% gg, 25% GG, and 50% Gg.

Number 3 is incorrect, the genotypes are given to you. You need to use TT and tt. The outcome would be 100% Tt.

Number 4 is incorrect, the genotypes are given to you. You need to use RR and rr. The outcome would be 100% Rr.

Please read the directions and use the genotypes they give you! The information is all there for you, you just need to put it in correctly. If you're still having trouble understanding how to do this, feel free to message me and I'd be happy to help you.

Describe the atomic theory of atoms
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: Below

                   |

                   |

                   ^

Explanation:

The atomic theory is that all matter is made up of tiny units or particles called atoms. This theory describes the characteristics, structure and behavior of atoms as well as the components that make up atoms. Furthermore, the theory states that all elements are made up of identical atoms.

The atomic theory is a theory in the study of chemistry that states atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom. Electrons, which have a negative charge, orbit the nucleus.

According to the atomic theory, all elements contain atoms. The difference is the number of protons, electrons and neutrons in that atom. For instance, hydrogen contains one proton and one electron but no neutrons. Oxygen, on the other hand contains eight protons, electrons and neutrons. The difference in protons, electrons and neutrons determines the stability and the other properties of any particular element. These elements are grouped according to their atomic masses, which depend on the number of protons and neutrons in each of the atoms. Because oxygen has more protons and neutrons than hydrogen, it has a higher atomic mass.
