Explanation:

Molecules present in a liquid state are less tightly held together as compared to solid state. As molecules in a liquid have less strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

As a result, liquid molecules have kinetic energy and they are able to slide past each other. Hence, in a liquid state every substance is able to occupy the shape and size of the container in which it is placed.

Whereas in a solid state, particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. So, they have definite shape and volume.

In gaseous state, molecules are far away from each other. And, they can be completely compressed.

Liquids can be partially compressed but solids cannot be compressed.

Therefore, we can conclude that liquid is the state of matter which has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowing the particles to flow and take the shape and volume of whatever container the sample is in.

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.

An isotope has a half-life of 10 minutes. after 20 minutes, what percentage of the original nuclei remain?
Elena-2011 [213]
To solve this, we can use two equations.
t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ  
   
where, t1/2 is half-life and λ is the decay constant.

t1/2 = 10 min = 0.693 / λ

Hence, λ = 0.693 / 10 min              -         (1)

Nt = Nο e∧(-λt)    
                
Nt = amount of atoms at t =t time
Nο= initial amount of atoms
t = time taken

by rearranging the equation,
Nt/Nο = e∧(-λt)                  -  (2)

From (1) and (2),

Nt/Nο = e∧(-(0.693 / 10 min) x 20 min) 
Nt/Nο = 0.2500

Percentage of remaining nuclei = (nuclei at t time / initial nuclei) x 100%
                                                     
= (Nt/Nο ) x 100%
                                                      = 0.2500 x 100%
                                                      = 25.00%

Hence, Percentage of remaining nuclei is 25.00%

What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?
Marina CMI [18]
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2.  Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will  be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.
