17. would be c. when the nucleus decays

 18. would be B. the electric force and nuclear forces are in opposition to each other.         hope I helped if so plz give brainlyist

The correct options are as follows:

17. C.

Radioactive decay refers to the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by giving out radiations. The radiations emit can be in form of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays. Radioactive decay is a random process, that is, one can not predict when it would happen. Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus of an atom decay and no longer have enough binding energy to hold the atomic sub particles together.

18. B.

Radioactive decay occurs when the nucleus no longer have enough energy to hold the sub particles in the nucleus together. This situation always occur when there are excess protons or neutrons in the nucleus of the atom. In the nucleus of an atom, two forces are usually at work, nuclear and electrostatic forces. While proton experience both of these forces, neutron only experience the nuclear force. These two forces that are in opposition bring about radioactive decay.

Complete the nuclear equation<br><br> 42 K → 0 e <br>19____-1
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

42 19 K→42 20 Ca+e−

Explanation:

Naturally-occurring potassium atoms have a weighted average atomic mass of 39.10 (as seen on most modern versions of the periodic table.) Each potassium atom contains 19 protons p+ and thus an average potassium atom contains about 39.10−19≈20 neutrons n0.

This particular isotope of potassium-42 contains 42 nucleons (i.e., protons and neutrons, combined;) Like other isotopes of potassium 19 out of these nucleons are protons; the rest 42−19=23 are therefore neutrons.

A 1.2 kg block of iron at 32 ∘C is rapidly heated by a torch such that 12 kJ is transferred to it. What temperature would the bl
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

For iron

Final temperature = 54,22°C

For copper

Final Temperature = 63.67 °C

Explanation

Hello,

You are using a torch to warm up a block of iron that has an initial temperature of 32°C.

The first you have to know is that the "heat capacity" could simply define as the heat required to go from an initial temperature to a final temperature.

So you need to use the heat capacity equation as follow in the paper.

The equation has to have all terms in the same units, so:

q = 12000 J

s = 0.450 J / g °C

m = 1200 g

Ti = 32 °C
