Ionising radiation is emitted all the time by __________ sources. What one word completes the sentence?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:Radioactive substances give out radiation all of the time. There are three types of nuclear radiation: alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha is the least penetrating, while gamma is the most penetrating. Nonetheless, all three are ionising radiation: they can knock electrons out of atoms and form charged particles.

Which best represents a physical change?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

The answer I would go with is A formation of a new substance.

Explanation:

This is because physical change includes changes of state. Some could be changing from a liquid to gas or solid to gas. B is not even an answer that should be considered because it doesn't fit into the category. C and D represents some of the examples of the process of physical change. Like boiling, bubbling, melting, or freezing. So the best would be A.

What is the chemical formula of the ionic compound that forms from potassium and bromine?
vekshin1

solution:

This is an example of a binary salt. A binary salt is composed of one cation (+ charged ion) and one anion (- charged ion). Cations are usually elements of first group of the periodic table and anions are usually elements of 17th group of the periodic table. All the cations of the elements of the first group of the periodic table take the charge of 1+. Remember that a molecule has no charge, so if K(potassium) is the cation and has a charge of +1, the anion must have a charge of -1. Thus, the ionic compound formed when potassium and bromine combine is KBr.

KBr is an example of this. In order for K to lose all of its outer shell electrons, you must trace your finger from K, and go left. Nothing there! K, Potassium only has one electron in its outer shell to give away. After giving the electron away, K looks externally (in terms of electrons) like Argon (a noble gas).

Now, let's look at Br. We go right, because that is the closest way to get to the noble gases, and so have a complete outer shell with no extras (called valence electrons) to react with. Br needs exactly one electron.

Therefore, pairing K and Br results in a stable state where K donates and completely gives Br an electron, making K now positively charged (lost an electron) and Br negatively charged (gained one). This electron transfer forms an ionic bond because opposite charges attract.

Question 11: How does the energy of a photon emitted when the electron moves from the 3rd orbital to the 2nd orbital compare to
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon emitted when the electron moves from the 3rd orbital to the 2nd orbital is exactly same as the energy of a photon absorbed when the electron moves from the 2nd orbital to the 3rd orbital
