Why do isotope decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
7 0

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.

Does 1.0 M KNO3 or 1.5 M KNO3 have a higher boiling point?
jasenka [17]
 1.5 M KNO3 - both solutions contain KNO3, but the one with higher concentration is 1.5 M, as 1.5 M > 1.0 M. 1.0 M also increases the boiling point, but not to as great an extent as 1.5 M does.
