How long will it take for half of Bismuth-214 to decay to lead? (Refer to the Uranium-238 decay chain series.)

Chemistry

zhenek [66]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Answer is: 20 min.Bismuth 214 decay mode to lead is beta minus decay and alpha decay.Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus. In beta minus decay, neutron is converted to a proton and an electron and an electron.Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

Lavoisier's discovery that air was not a substance but rather a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen is described as history-making. w
Taya2010 [7]
Antoine Lavoisier was part of a wealthy family in Paris. He pursued to study science upon realizing that chemistry or the study of the elements was not a well-studied field. His discovery of that air was a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen gave rise to the concept of COMBUSTION after repeating the experiments made by Priestly using mercury and other metal oxides. 

The event was such a history-making because it disproved that concept that air was a pure substance along with 3 others: earth, fire, and water.

Which of the following is NOT part of the kinetic molecular theory of gases?
kondaur [170]

A. There is very little empty space in a gas in not part of the kinetic molecular theory of gases.

Explanation:

The kinetic molecular theory of gases follows following points:

Kinetic energy does not change or get dissipated when gas molecules collide with each other. No attraction or repulsion between gas particles is observed. Particles of  gas are moving randomly in all directions. Temperature increase cause the rapid movement of gas particles.The gas particles are placed very far from each other as compared to liquid.

The empty space in a gas is large because gas gets compressed in the small volume of the container also.

For an electron that interacts with visible light, which visible photon would give the most accurate (lowest error) measurement
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

violet

Explanation:

When an electron interacts with visible light, energy is transferred from the photon to the electron.

The most accurate (lowest error) measurement of momentum (or speed) of an electron is obtained using a photon of high energy and low wavelength.

Violet light which lies at the high energy end of spectrum is most suitable.
