<h3>Radionuclides: Uranium and Radium</h3>
So you've just had your water tested and the lab results are telling you that you've got radionuclides.
Radionuclides are radioactive isotopes or unstable forms of elements. Radioactivity is the release of energy, radiation, that occurs when these unstable elements decay or breakdown into more stable elements. This process is known as radioactive decay and is measured by the half-life of the element. The half-life is the time required for half of the original element to decay. The half-life for radionuclides can range from a few thousands of a second to a few billion years.
The two most common radionuclides found in groundwater supplies are Uranium and Radium. Uranium and Radium are naturally occurring elements that are found throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States in bedrock deposits like shale or granite deep below the surface. Rather than the glowing green rocks often portrayed in cinema or television, uranium and radium are found in ores mixed with other minerals and metals.
Uranium is the largest naturally occurring element on earth, nearly 70% denser than lead, and exists naturally as three different isotopes: U-234, U-235, and U-238, with U-238 and U-235 being the most common. U-235 is the preferred isotope for nuclear power generation. All three forms of uranium have the same chemical and physical properties, but have different radioactive properties.
In very low pH conditions, uranium exists in a cation oxidized form UO2, but it is most commonly present as anionic compounds UO2(CO3)2 and UO2(CO3)3. As uranium decays naturally over time, it releases radiation and forms new elements like radium, lead, and radon gas.

C. MgCl2
This structure forms a ionic bond, which are generally stronger than covalent bonds. All of the other choices are covalent.
Answer:
Explanation:
The expression for density is:
M is molar mass of Calcium = 40.078 g/mol
For cubic closest packed structure , Z= 4
is the density
Radius = 197 pm = 
Also, for fcc, 
Thus,
Answer:
0.056moles HF and 0.70M
Explanation:
When a strong acid is added to a buffer, the acid reacts with the conjugate base.
In the system, NaF and HF, weak acid is HF and conjugate base is NaF. The reaction of NaF with HCl (Strong acid) is:
NaF + HCl → HF + NaCl
Initial moles of NaF and HF in 60.0mL of solution are:
NaF:
0.0600L × (0.80mol / L)= 0.048 moles NaF
HF:
0.0600L × (0.80mol / L)= 0.048 moles HF
Then, the added moles of HCl are:
0.0200L × (0.40mol / L) = 0.008 moles HCl.
Thus, after the reaction, moles of HF produced are 0.008 moles + the initial 0.048moles of HF, moles of HF are:
<em>0.056moles HF</em>
<em></em>
In 20.0mL + 60.0mL = 80.0mL = 0.0800L, molarity of HF is:
0.056mol HF / 0.0800L = <em>0.70M</em>
Answer:
1. Sound is a energy (mechanical)produced by vibrating objects and sound energy is movement of energy through particles.
2.Space occupied by the substance
3.<u>Propagation</u> of <u>Sound Wave</u> and <u>particles of the medium</u>
4.High-Frequency(Ultrasonic wave)
Explanation:
1.Sound is the form of energy which causes sensation of hearing to our ear.It is produce by vibrating objects. When the objects vibrate(to and fro motion) ,they pushes the particles of medium creating the region of high density called compression .When the particles moves backward ,they creates a region of low density called Rarefaction.This pattern repeats indefinitely.
2.Volume is the quantity of three dimensional space occupied by substances like solid,liquid and gases. The SI unit of volume is

In metric system unit of volume is liter
3. Longitudinal Waves: Waves in which displacement of the medium particles are parallel(in the same direction) to the propagation of wave.
Sound wave is longitudinal wave.Hence its particles moves in the same direction as the wave (energy)travel.
4.Frequency: The number of times sound wave passes a given point in one second.Its SI unit is Hertz(Hz).
Frequency of vibration decides the Pitch of the sound waves producing them.
A sound wave of High Pitch means it is oscillating rapidly(at high speed).These are also called Ultrasonic waves. These have frequency more than 20000 Hz. Human being can't hear ultrasonic waves.
