A). Polonium is a rare element with 33 radioisotopes. The most common one, 210Po, has 82 protons and 128 neutrons. When 210Po de

cays, it emits an alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons). 210Po decay is tricky to detect because alpha particles do not carry very much energy compared to other forms of radiation. They can be stopped by, for example, a sheet of paper or a few inches of air. That is one reason that authorities failed to discover toxic amounts of 210Po in the body of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko until after he died suddenly and mysteriously in 2006. What element does an atom of 210Po change into after it emits an alpha particle?
b). Some undiluted acids aremore corrosive when they are diluted with water. That is why laboratory workers are told to wipe acid splashes with a towel before washing with a copious amounts of water. Explain.

Answer:

a)  Lead

b) Below

Explanation:

a) ₂₁₀ Po⁸⁴ ⇒ α + ₂₀₈Pb⁸²

b) Acids are extremely corrosive substances, so they must be cleaned soon as possible because they can damage not only the furniture but also clothes and skin of the laboratory workers.

Before cleaning the polluted area with water, acids must be clean with towels in order to reduce the amount of acid.

The reaction between the acids and water are very explosive, they are exothermic reactions, that means that they increase the temperature of the area polluted and it can cause more damage. That's why the area must be cleaned with towel before add water.

Which of the following trends can be observed when moving down a column in the periodic table
Vlad [161]

Explanation:

A column on the periodic table represents a period.

These are some of the variations observed across a period;

  • Atomic radii decreases progressively from left to right due to the progressive increase in the nuclear charge without an attendant increase in the number of electronic shells.
  • Ionization energy increases progressively from left to right due to decreasing atomic radii.
  • Electronegativity increases from left to right.
  • Electropositivity decreases across a period.
