Why do isotope decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]2 years ago

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

Define the term inertia
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Enertia is an integral part of Newton's first law of motion.

It is the tendency of an object to <u>stay at rest</u> or <u>to continue moving</u> until and unless <u>any external unbalanced force</u>, (like, applied force or force of tension or frictional force ) is applied to either move it from rest or change its speed(in other words, accelerate it!!).

Example below, is of ball at rest (fig1) and if this ball is moving straight on a frictionless surface(like ice) it will keep moving!! until, we push it or pull it.

Gelneren [198K]

Information would you need to know about the H₂O₂ solution is through stoichiometry experiment

The ideal gas constant R can be found experimentally by determining the number of moles of gas that occupies a particular measured volume at a known pressure and temprature and the H₂O₂ is a chemical compound used un various chemical reactions and is slightly viscous than water and the experiment by decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and using the ideal gas law rearrangement equation we can calculate the value of r and we will need the information such as concentration, volume and moles of  H₂O₂ to determine its stoichiometry
