Answer : The types of radiation known to be emitted by radioactive elements are, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

Explanation :

Radioactive decay : It the process in which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting the radiations like, alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays.

The naturally occurring radioactive elements are, radium, thorium, and uranium.

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

Which kind of covalent bond has unequal sharing of electrons

lutik1710 [3]

Polar.

Polar bonds have unequal sharing electrons while nonpolar, the opposite, has equal sharing electrons. This is a tactic typically used to determine whether or not a compound or element itself is polar or nonpolar.

Hope this helps!

Determine the limiting reactant (lr) and the mass (in g) of nitrogen that can be formed from 50.0 g n2o4 and 45.0 g n2h4. some p

Licemer1 [7]

N2O4(l) + 2 N2H4(l) → 3 N2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
1) to calculate the limiting reactant you need to pass grams to moles.
 moles is calculated by dividing mass by molar mass

mass of N2O4: 50.0 g
molar mass of N2O4 = 92.02 g/mol
molar mass of N2H4 = 32.05 g/mol.
mass of N2H4:45.0 g

moles N2O4=50.0/92.02 g/mol= 0,54 mol of N2O4
moles N2H4= 45/32.05 g/mol= 1,40 mol of N2H4

 2)
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol of N2O4 needs 2 moles of N2H4 to fully react . So to react 0,54 moles of N2O4, you need 2x0,54 moles of N2H4 moles
N2H4 needed = 1,08 moles.
You have more that 1,08 moles N2H4, so this means the limiting reagent is not N2H4, it's N2O4. The molecule that has molecules that are left is never the limiting reactant.

3) 1 mol of N2O4 reacting, will produce 3 mol of N2 (look at the equation)
There are 0,54 mol of N2O4 available to react, so how many moles will produce of N2?
1 mol N2O4------------3 mol of N2
0,54 mol N2O4--------x
x=1,62 mol of N2

4) the only thing left to do is convert the moles obtained, to grams.
We use the same formula as before, moles equal to mass divided by molar mass.
$moles= \frac{grams}{molar mass}$ (molar mass of N2= 28)
1,62 mol of N2= mass/ 28
mass of N2= 45,36 grams

When road contractors are laying cement,they first place a series of steel rods in a specific patterns. the they pour the cement

Anna11 [10]

The steel rods will enable the concrete to form without any bumps and it will add shape to the cement and strength, so no odd massive lumps are formed.

That is what I think anyways :)
