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.

I believe the correct response would be A. More neutrons than protons.

3. The temperature of a fixed mass of gas in a rigid container is decreased from 127.00 degrees
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

750mmHg

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

T1 = 127°C = 127 +273 = 400K

T2 = 27°C = 27 +273 = 300K

P1 = 1000mmHg

P2 =?

P1/T1 = P2/T2

1000/400 = P2 /300

Cross multiply

400 x P2 = 1000 x 300

Divide both side by 400

P2 = (1000 x 300)/400

P2 = 750mmHg

Therefore, the new pressure after cooling is 750mmHg

Which identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction?
Alchen [17]

The statement that identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which oxidation numbers change (option C).

<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>

A redox or oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction in which some of the atoms have their oxidation number changed.

In a chemical reaction that involves oxidation and reduction, the oxidation number of the involved ions either decreases or increases.

Therefore, the statement that identifies an oxidation-reduction reaction is a reaction in which oxidation numbers change.

What is the relationship between the concentration and the rate of the reaction?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

When the concentration of all the reactants increases, more molecules or ions interact to form new compounds, and the rate of reaction increases. When the concentration of a reactant decreases, there are fewer of that molecule or ion present, and the rate of reaction decreases.
