False, the radiation from food and medical procedures have very little consequences. The radiation from a nuclear power plant can kill people which makes it a very large problem if not contained properly.

Answer:

It's false

Explanation:

The radioactive materials of a nuclear plant emit ionizing radiation that can damage tissues. The radiation dose of a person is approximately 2.5 millisieverts per year by radiation from natural sources. Workers in a nuclear industry are exposed to approximately 4.5 millisieverts. Ionizing radiation transfers energy to cell molecules in tissues. As a consequence, these cell functions can be damaged temporarily or permanently. The severity depends on the type of radiation, the dose and the rate of absorption.

Sulfur burns in the air to form 33.6L of sulfur dioxide. (S = 32, O =16, 64g of sulfur dioxide has 22.4L, 32g of oxygen has 22.4
ivolga24 [154]

The mass of oxygen reacted/required in this reaction is obtained as 48g.

<h3>What is stoichiometry?</h3>

The term stoichiometry has to do with mass- volume or mass - mole relationship which ultimately depends on the balanced reaction equation.

Now, we have the reaction; S + O2 ------>SO2

If 1 mole of sulfur dioxide contains 22.4 L

x moles of sulfur dioxide contains 33.6L

x = 1.5 moles of sulfur dioxide.

Since the reaction is 1:1, the number if moles of oxygen required/reacted is 1.5 moles.

Mass of oxygen required/reacted = 1.5 moles * 32 g/mol = 48g

A polonium atom has 84 protons, 124 neutrons, and 84 electrons. What will it change to during alpha decay? A. A lead atom with 8
77julia77 [94]
I think the correct answer would be A. When a polonium atom with 84 protons, 124 neutrons, and 84 electrons undergoes alpha decay, a lead atom would be produced with 82 protons, 122 neutrons, and 84 electrons together with an alpha particle having two protons and two neutrons.

Which of the following lists elements in order of increasing malleability?
hodyreva [135]

Malleability is the property due to which substances tend to hammered into thin sheets when pressure is applied. Malleability is observed in metal as the metal atoms are bound by metallic bonds. The layers of metal atoms can roll over each other without breaking the metal bond when pressure is applied. In the periodic table malleability decreases as the metallic nature decreases. Among the given metals Al is the most metallic element, followed by Zinc an Carbon is a non metal. Therefore, the order of increasing malleability will be C, Zn, Al
