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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Flura [38]2 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

Which of the answer choices correctly describes a solvent made of molecules that have areas of partial positive and negative cha
damaskus [11]

Answer: polar solvent

Explanation:

Polarity can be said to mean, charge separation. Thus, polar solvents are solvents that have charge separation and the ability to solvate i.e dissolve ions.

A polar solvent molecule has slight electrical charge as a result of its shape. A typical and most common example is water, with an oxygen and two hydrogen atoms. The two hydrogen atoms are at an angle to the single oxygen atom. Water is the classic polar solvent. The oxygen atom tends to polarize electron density to itself.
