1. U₂₃₈→α→Th₂₃₄(UX₁) 
<span>2. Th₂₂₈→α→Ra₂₂₆(MsTh₁) </span>

<span>α = Alpha decay (release of He Nucleus) </span>
<span>The decay products are meso states that undergo further (β) decay</span>

If electrons are collectively compressed into a very small volume (e.g., within the core of a dying white dwarf star) where quan
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:  A degenerate pressure will generate a large force to repel further  compression.

Explanation: In the production of new stars from the core of old dying white dwarf stars, the inner parts of the star will experience contraction with the release of  heat , as they contract, their atoms will be  squeezed such that their electrons start to overlap, and because of the Pauli's exclusive principle which states that no two electrons can occupy same space, the electrons will begin to repel each other and an opposing pressure called degenerate pressure will create a force so that the electrons  cannot continually be crushed or overlap. With the limit of contraction, the outer parts of the star will expand and be repelled releasing the old stars called nebula  and creating space for the inner new stars to form.

How dose soil texture determine soil fertility? Which of the anserws are correct PLZZZ HELPPP MEEE
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Answer is A

Explanation:

Important physical properties that affect fertility include soil structure and texture. Structure is the amount of aggregation and pores in soil and texture is the proportion of clay and sand particles in soil. Both affect soil fertility by affecting water movement through soil, root penetration and water logging.

What is the formula for measuring volume in Chemistry?
fredd [130]
For the volume of a solid or liquid
Density = mass/ volume so
volume = mass / density

For the volume of a liquid
Moles = volume x concentration
Volume = moles / concentration

For the volume of a gas
Volume = moles x 24

There are many other formulas as well :)
