What effect does nuclear radiation have on atoms?

Chemistry
1 answer:
marishachu [46]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

It ionizes atoms.  

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three types of nuclear radiation:

  • α rays
  • β rays
  • γ rays

All of these have enough energy that they can remove an electron from an atom and cause it to become charged or ionized.

A is <em>wrong</em>. Ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to split atoms.

B is <em>wrong</em>. Nuclear radiation does not involve burning — the reaction of atoms with oxygen.

How many moles are there in 24.00 g of NaCl
Elis [28]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.41 moles

Explanation:

Data

moles of NaCl = ?

mass of NaCl = 24 g

Process

To solve this problem just calculate the molar mass of NaCl, and remember that the molar mass of any substance equals to 1 mol.

1.- Calculate the molar mass

NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g

2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication

               58.5 g of NaCl ------------------- 1 mol

               24.0 g               ------------------- x

                     x = (24 x 1) / 58.5

                     x = 0.41 moles

Explain why the atomic number is called the fingerprint of element
Dovator [93]

Answer:

No element shares the same atomic number. The atomic number of every element is unique to itself, just like a fingerprint is unique to a human. The atomic number of element allows us to identify it, like how we can identify a person from their fingerprint.
