Answer:

A: high neutron proton ratio

Explanation:

Radioactive decay occurs when unstable isotopes have their nuclei broken due to atomic instability. When this occurs, the radioactive decaying atom with a large nucleus probably contains a high ratio of neutron protons.

To understand why an isotope disintegrates we need to focus on the atomic nucleus. The nucleus is known to be charged with positive particles (protons), and they are very close to each other. It is also true that particles with equal charges repel each other. Therefore, the proximity of protons causes them to repel each other in an attempt to take as much space as possible. As a result, the core breaks because it cannot handle these repellent charges.

Which solution has a molality of 0.25m nacl?
Solnce55 [7]

Molality can be expressed by moles of solute over kilograms of solvent. The question asks the molality of 0.25m NaCl. 0.25m NaCl is equal to 0.25 moles of NaCl over 1 kg of water.

How does energy change when it moves?? PLEASE ANSWER ASAP
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. Energy can also be transferred from place to place by electric currents, which can then be used locally to produce motion, sound, heat, or light.

Identify which one of the three methods of analysis (i.e., TLC, IR and melting point) provides information about the structure o
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

IR provides structural information about a molecule. TLC and melting point analysis do not provide structural information.

Explanation:

IR gives information about the functional groups present in a molecule. The vibrational frequency of each functional group gives information about the structure of the entire molecule.

Structural features of a molecule are deduced by matching the vibrational frequencies of  groups obtained from the IR spectroscopy with that of known functional groups in literature.

Melting point is a qualitative method that can only yield information about the identity of a compound and not its structure. Each compound has its unique melting point recorded in literature and any pure sample of the same compound must have the same sharp meting point.

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures. After separating the components of the mixture, it does not give any information regarding the identity or the structure  of the components of the mixture.

Therefore, only IR yields structural information about a sample.
