How does radioactive isotopes decay?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aksik [14]3 years ago
7 0
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.

What is the maximum amount of kcl that can dissolve in 200g of water?
Likurg_2 [28]
The solubility of potassium chloride in at room temperature is approximately 34 g per 100 g of water. Therefore, the maximum amount that could be dissolved would be 34/100 ( 200) = 68 g of KCl. When more than this amount is added, excess potassium would not dissolve forming crystals in the solution.

Three other application of Bernoulli's principle ?
Makovka662 [10]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

Bernoulli's Theorem in a general sense relates the weight, speed, and rise in a moving fluid (liquid or gas), the compressibility and consistency (internal grinding) of which are insignificant and the flood of which is predictable, or laminar.

(1): We can discover the speed of Efflux of a fluid.

This is given by v= sqrt (2gh), where the fluid is turning out from an opening in a vessel at profundity h from free fluid surface. This condition is known as Torricelli's hypothesis.

(2): Vena Contracta: The fluid stream from gap contracts at a separation minimal outside the opening to a neck, called Vena Contracta.

The territory of cross-segment of a fly is littler than a zone of opening. From this reality, we can discover the coefficient of withdrawal.

(3) : Bernoulli's standard is utilized in the development of Venturimeter, an instrument for estimation of measure of a stream of a fluid through a pipe.

Enter the atomic symbol, including mass number and atomic number, for iodine-130.
WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic symbol of the given element is _{53}^{130}\textrm{I}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The general isotopic representation of an element is given as:  _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents the atomic number of the element

A represents the mass number of the element

X represents the symbol of an element

For the given isotope: 130-iodine

Mass number = 130

Atomic number = 53

Hence, the atomic symbol of the given element is _{53}^{130}\textrm{I}

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? Air. Salt water. Steel. Soil.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.
