Explanation:

Natural transmutation is the spontaneous disintegration of a heavy nuclide into lighter ones or fusion of lighter nuclides into heavier ones. These processes occurs naturally without anything inducing them. Nuclear fission of light elements in the core of stars is an example of natural transmutation.

Typically, all nuclei with atomic number greater than 83 are naturally radioactive.

²³⁸₉₂U → ²³⁴₉₂Th + ⁴₂He

In artificial transmutation, nuclear reactions are initiated through the collision of a nuclide with a high speed particle. Here, unstable nuclei are produced artificially in nuclear reactions. Such unstable nuclei also produce radiations.

¹₀n + ²³₁₁Na → ²⁴₁₁Na + γ

Answer:

c. precipitation

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced net ionic equation.

Cl⁻(aq) + AgNO₃(ag) ⇒ AgCl(s) + NO₃⁻ (ag)

What kind of reaction is this?

a. acid-base. No, because the reactants are not acids and bases.

b. redox. No, because all the species have the same oxidation numbers in the reactants and the products

c. precipitation. Yes, because an insoluble compound (AgCl) is produced, which then precipitates.

Bases

A base is a substance that dissociates into more hydroxide ions (-OH-) when dissolved in water. Bases are also good proton acceptors. Bases, therefore, reduce the number of H+ and increase OH- hence raising the pH of the solution.

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Other properties of bases is that they are bitter to the taste and they feel slippery when touched. Strong bases are nonthlese very corrosive like acids. Bases turn red litmus paper blue. Most alkali hydroxides such as NaOH are bases.
