If an element has a charge of 2+, It has 2 more proton than electrons

Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

If a body loses some electrons, it becomes positively charged.

Here element having charge + 2 unit, it means the two electrons are removed from the element.

As we know that the atom is electrically neutral, it means the number of protons is equal to the number of neutrons.

So, if two electrons are removed, it means the now, the number of protons are two more than the number of electrons.

Masja [62]

Answer:Answer:

They are inhaled or eaten

Explanation:

Radioactivity can be defined as the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus spontaneously emits ionizing radiation and charge particles. This eventually results in the formation of an energetically stable atomic nucleus.

Examples of radioactive elements are Uranium, Polonium, Thorium, Radon, etc. The radiation emitted during this process is classified as;

1. Alpha radiation (α).

2. Beta radiation (β).

3. Gamma radiation (G).

Alpha-emitting substances, such as radon gas, can be a serious health hazard only if they are inhaled or eaten. Alpha-emitting substances compared to other radiation has very short-range particle and as such cannot penetrate the human skin or body.
