How does radioactive isotopes decay?

Chemistry

They can decay through one of three ways: 
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.

Consider the following reaction:
Sidana [21]
Your limiting is CuCI2 and the excess is KI (from what i’ve heard from my tc to find it just use the moles or look at the grams)Do you want me to do the qn and give u the ans or?

Explanation:You have more grams of KI than CuCI2
irl example : I need 200g of flour to bake 1 muffin and 100g of butter.But I have 300g of butter and only 200g of flour.This means I can only bake up to 1 muffin since I got excess grams of butter.But to use up all my 300g of butter I need 400g more of flour.Making my butter the excess while my flour the limiting since I have less of it and it also determines how much muffin would I get at the end of the bake.

im sorry if that example sounds clowny T-T

The equation for the formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas is 2H2+O2→2H2O.
inn [45]

Answer:

180g

Explanation:

H:1   O:16

2H2+O2 → 2H2O

 2   2(16)       2(1)+(16)

        32              18

Now,

       32g of O → 2(18)g of H2O

       160g of O → 2(18)g divides by 32g times 160g

                            =180g

What are the four body systems that are involved of getting oxygen in our cells ?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: The cells that make up the digestive, muscular, skeletal, reproductive, and excretory systems all need oxygen from the respiratory system to function, and the cells of the respiratory system—as well as all the other systems—need nutrients and must get rid of metabolic wastes.
