Atoms of elements below atomic number 20 do not split because of stable nucleus.
Stability of nucleus is determined by neutron/proton ratio.
For light stable nuclides, number of protons ans neutrons are same. For heavy nuclides, number of neutrons is more than the number of protons.

Here the type of decay is alpha decay because number of nucleons(protons and neutrons) changes.
Hence option d is correct.

Which statement best compares and contrasts two physical properties of matter? Density and solubility are similar because they b
mash [69]
I believe the correct answer would be that b<span>oiling points and melting points are similar because they both involve the change in a state of a material, but they are different because boiling point involves a change from a liquid to a gas and melting point involves a change from a solid to a liquid. Boiling and melting are phase changes that can happen to a substance however they differ in the process that happens.</span>

The density of lithium is 0. 546 g/cm3. what volume is occupied by 3. 66 x 10 23 atoms of lithium?
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The volume occupied by 3.66 x 10^{23} atoms of lithium is 7.73 cm^3

<h3>What is Density?</h3>

The density of a substance is defined as the mass of the substance per unit volume. It is often denoted by the symbol ρ

The density of a substance is given by,

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

The mass of a substance is the measure of the amount of matter present in it. It is generally measured in grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

The volume of a substance is defined as the amount of 3D space occupied by it.

<h3>What is Mole Concept?</h3>

It is a concept which uses mole as a unit to measure the number of atoms, molecules or ions.

A mole is defined as the amount of substance which has the same number of elementary particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of \ce{^{12}C}

1 mole = Avogadro's number = 6.022 x 10^{23\\ atoms

<h3>Steps to find out the volume</h3>

Molar Mass of Lithium = 6.94 g/mol

1 mole of Lithium has 6.022 x 10^{23} atoms

3.66 x 10^{23} atoms of lithium has molar mass = \frac{6.94 g}{6.022\times10^{23} } \times 3.66 \times 10^{23}

m = 4.218 g

Substitute in density formula,

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

V = \frac{m}{\rho}

=\frac{4.218g}{0.546g/cm^3}

= 7.73 cm^3\\

Therefore, 3.66 x 10^{23} atoms of lithium occupies 7.73 cm^3\\ of volume.

George operates a fishery. Last month, he noticed that the number of fish had decreased. Which discipline can provide valuable i
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Fisheries science. This discipline aims to study and understand fisheries biology, food web, the predator-prey relationship, stock status information, as well as the socioeconomic status of fishermen (commercial and substantial)

Explanation:

The information from this discipline will help environmental scientists understand why there is a decrease in fish in the ocean. The reasons can vary from over fishing to decline in the reproduction of fishes due to climate change.
