Answer:

-a nonmetal is a substance that lacks the characteristics of a metal.

-Seventeen elements are generally classified as nonmetals: most are gases (hydrogen, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon, chlorine, argon, krypton, xenon and radon); one is a liquid (bromine); and a few are solids (carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, selenium, and iodine).

A non metal substance is one that lack the characteristics of metal substances, so non metal substances are not good conductors of heat and electricity, they are not ductile, they aren’t malleable, they aren’t lustrous, etc.

Basically non metal substances are those substances that don’t have the characteristics that metal substances have.

Demonstrate In A Brief Paragraph How The Search To Explain Planetary Orbits Exemplifies The Scientific Method
Sveta_85 [38]

People firstly believe that the planets move in a circular orbit until Newton came up with his hypothesis by inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Everyone assumed the planets were perfect circles until Newton came up with an idea. Slowly people would make maps of the orbits that added circles on circles, and they could never really explain about the movement of the planet. They simply say that planets move on circles but they lacked the math to explain or prove it. Then Newton came up with an idea of inventing calculus so that we could understood and calculated planetary orbits and their accuracy.
  • Firstly people used their observations and say that the orbits looked like circles, then they developed their models and did the math, and proposed their hypothesizes which were wrong, until Newton came along and tried to match a model that used elliptical orbits and invented the math that allowed him to make predictions with it. His model worked for most planets.
  • However he could not explain about the planet Mercury for instance since it was a very strange orbit. Then after the Einstein's theory of General Relativity he could also explain very deeply about it.
  • Scientists and Astronomers made hypothesizes that there was another planet orbiting too close to the sun to see with telescopes, called Vulcan, that explained mercury's orbit before Einstein's theory. Then long after we had telescopes which was good enough to see if there was a planet orbiting closer to the sun than mercury.

The technetium-99 nuclide radioactively decays by beta emission. write a balanced nuclear chemical equation that describes this
nekit [7.7K]
Tc-99m<span> is a </span>metastable  isomer<span> of </span>Tc-99. It finds widespread applications in <span>medical diagnostic procedures.
</span>
Tc-99 is also a radioactive element. It's half-life is 2,11,000 years. Upon radioactive decay, it emits beta particles and gets converted into stable compound Ruthenium-99

This process of radioactive decay is shown below.
99 43Tc    →       99 44Ru     +     0 -1e
                            (stable)           (β particle)
