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.
Answer:
C24H50
Explanation:
The empirical fomula's molar mass is 169.25 g/mol.
We know the molecular formula's molar mass is 338 g/mol.
338/169.25= 1.99 or approximately 2
Two molecules that can cross a lipid bilayer without help from membrane proteins are oxygen and carbon dioxide. The property that allows this to happen is that both oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules are nonpolar which means that they can pass easily through the hydrophobic part of the membrane. The lipid bilayer is present in all cell membranes. It consists of two layers of the fat cells which are arranged into two sheets. It functions as a barrier which marks the boundaries of the cell. The inner part of a lipid bilayer is nonpolar since it is composed of the hydrophobic end of the phospholopids.
