Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Alpha particle

Explanation:

The helium symbol is also used to represent he alpha particles.

For example:

The americium with atomic wight  224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

At what temp will a gas be at if you allow it to expand from an original 456 mL to 65°C to 3.4 L
alexira [117]
We use the gas law named Charle's law for the calculation of the second temperature. The law states that,
                                          V₁T₂ = V₂T₁
Substituting the known values,
                                (0.456 L)(65 + 273.15) = (3.4 L)(T₁)
                                             T₁ = 45.33 K

the atomic number of four elements p,q,r,s are 6,8,10 and 12 respectively. the two elements which can bond ionically are:
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The atomic numbers of four elements A, B, C, and D are 6,8,10, and 12 respectively. The two elements which can react to form ionic bonds (or ionic compounds) are B (8= 2,6) and D (12 =2,8,2). So D donates its two electrons to B to fulfill their octet.
