Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

According to the nebula hypothesis that explains the formation of solar system, there occurs changes in terms of its shape as well as the rate of rotation. It is because of the conservation of angular momentum.

The total angular momentum comprising a system remains same or constant, throughout its period of rotation in the absence of net torque. Due to the increasing density, the nebula eventually collapses, and these clouds of gases collides with one another and forms a large cloud. These clouds attains an average velocity and results in an orderly motion, which eventually take the shape of a disk. This is how with time, the sun and the planets have formed, comprising the solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

3. Hahn determined that barium (atomic number 56) was one of the elements created when a uranium atom (atomic number 92) split .
creativ13 [48]

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium.

<h3>What is the atomic number?</h3>

<em>Atomic</em> number is a characteristic associated with an element and indicates its number of protons, when a fision occurs, the total number protons is conserved.

Thus, the fission of uranium is led by two elements with <em>atomic</em> numbers 56 and 36. According to a periodic table, those <em>atomic</em> numbers are associated to elements Barium (Ba) and Krypton (Kr), respectively.

According to a periodic table, Krypton was created during the fission of Uranium. \blacksquare

Describe two reasons why an alpha particle is less penetrating than a beta or gamma particle.
uysha [10]
Alpha particles travel through the air they collide with oxygen and nitrogen molecules. While they collide with these molecules, they lose some energy until all energy are used up and they are absorbed. These particles can be absorbed by a sheet of paper or by the air. On the other hand, beta particles and gamma particles move faster than the alpha particles and are poor at ionizing atoms or molecules thus it takes more of the material to be able to absorb these particles.
