Radioactive decay is the means by which unstable nuclei move towards stability by emitting energy and subatomic particles. The types are:

Alpha particle decay:
Alpha particles, which are identical to helium nuclei, are released. The atomic mass of the substance decreases by 4 units and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Beta particle decay:
These particles are similar to mass as an electron, and during this decay, the atomic mass remains the same but atomic number increases by 1.

Gamma ray decay:
Gamma rays are released, which are high energy electromagnetic waves, by some radioactive nuclei to rid the excess energy they have.

The product of radioactive decay :

  • ₂He⁴
  • ₋₁e⁰
  • γ
  • ₁e⁰
<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.

Usually radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.

The main particles are emitted by radioactive elements so that they generally decay are alpha (α), beta (β) and gamma (γ) particles

General formulas used in decay:

\large {\boxed {Nt = No. (\frac {1} {2}) ^ {\frac {T} {t1 / 2}}}}

Information:

T = duration of decay

t1 / 2 = elemental half-life

N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms

Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time

At the core, the reaction applies the law of eternity

• 1. energy

the energy before and after the reaction is the same

• 2. atomic number

the number of atomic numbers before and after the same

• 3. mass number

the number of mass numbers before and after the same

Particles that play a role in core reactions include

• alpha α particles ₂He⁴

atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4

• beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles

atomic number remains the same , mass number decreases by -1

• gamma particles γ

Core reactions that occur usually release high energy

• positron particles ₁e⁰

atomic number remains the same , mass number decreases by +1

In general, the core reaction equation can be written:

<h3>X + a ---> Y + b + Q </h3>

 

X = target core

a = particle fired

Y = new core

b = the particle produced

Q = heat energy

or can be written simply

X (a, b) Y

Assume that instead of Taq polymerase, another polymerase, one that is very heat-sensitive, was used in a PCR. What differences
frez [133]

Answer:

Taq polymerase is a thermostable which states that it can even work at higher temperature. The main function of using this enzyme is that it is used to amplify the DNA which will help in producing ample amount of DNA sample.

The enzyme activity is temperature dependent. The denaturation and annealing steps of the PCR occurs at very high temperature.

Any other enzyme used at such an high temperature would have decreased the enzyme activity and the procedure would not be completed.

What will happen if you take a frog out of the food chain?
Setler [38]
<span>there are a number of animals that eat  frogs that will die off, then the animals that eat them will go hungry, and their populations will die off as well. This would just keep going up the food chain. Essentially, the loss of the frogs could have deep, reverberating effects that we may not grasp until it’s too late.</span>

What is the maximum vertical distance between the line y = x 2 and the parabola y = x2 for −1 ≤ x ≤ 2?
Mrac [35]

x2=x+2 at x=−1 and x=2 so we have no need to worry about the end-points

f(x)=x+2−x^2

df/dx=1–2x

and that is zero (indicating a maximum) at x=1/2

So the maximum distance is f(1/2)=2.5–0.25=2.25

What mass of CH3COOH is present in a 250 mL cup of 1.25 mol/L solution of vinegar?
aleksley [76]
If    1000 ml (1 L) of CH₃COOH contain 1.25 mol
let  250 ml  of CH₃COOH contain x

⇒  x =  \frac{250 ml * 1.25mol}{1000 ml}
        
        =  0.3125 mol

∴ moles of CH₃COOH in 250ml is 0.3125 mol

Now, Mass = mole  ×  molar mass
        
                   = 0.3125 mol  × [(12 × 2)+(16 × 2)+(1 × 4)] g/mol
 
                   = 18.75 g

∴ Mass of CH₃COOH present in a 250 mL cup of 1.25 mol/L solution of vinegar is <span>18.75 g</span>
