This would not be a good idea because bacteria is everywhere and function as a part of out everyday lives. Starting off with animals, many animals rely on bacteria to digest their food so many animals would begin to die off. Ecosystems would fail due to nitrogen not being able to cycle.
Without bacteria biological waste would build up causing a drop in population, eventually going extinct.
Basically, the balance of nature between humans, animals, and plants would no longer exist.

Suppose an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron. Comple
AfilCa [17]

Explanation:

An alpha particles is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons.  

Symbol of an alpha particle is ^{4}_{2}\alpha. Whereas a neutron is represented by a symbol ^{1}_{0}n, that is, it has zero protons and only 1 neutron.

Therefore, reaction equation when an aluminum- nuclide transforms into a phosphorus- nuclide by absorbing an alpha particle and emitting a neutron is as follows.

        ^{27}_{13}Al + ^{1}_{0}n \rightarrow ^{30}_{15}P + ^{1}_{0}n

A mixture with H2 and He exerts a total pressure of 0.48 atm. If there is 1.0 g of H2 and 1.0 g of He in the mixture, what is th
lara [203]

Answer is: the partial pressure of the helium gas is 0.158 atm.

p(mixture) = 0.48 atm; total pressure.

m(H₂) = 1.0 g; mass of hydrogen gas.

n(H₂) = m(H₂) ÷ M(H₂).

n(H₂) = 1.0 g ÷ 2 g/mol.

n(H₂) = 0.5 mol; amount of hydrogen.

m(He) = 1.0 g; mass of helium.

n(He) = 1 g ÷ 4 g/mol.

n(He) = 0.25 mol; amount of helium.

χ(H₂) = 0.5 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.

χ(H₂) = 0.67; mole fraction of hydrogen.

χ(He) = 0.25 mol ÷ 0.75 mol.

χ(He) = 0.33; mole fraction of helium.

p(He) = 0.33 · 0.48 atm.

p(He) = 0.158 atm; the partial pressure of the helium gas.

Why do neutral atoms form ions?
Marina86 [1]
Since they can still be unstable...nuetral atoms have the same amount of protons to electrons but to be stable they need to fill up there outer shell by gaining or losing electrons
