Why is electron capture accompanied by the emission of an X-ray?

Chemistry
1 answer:
marissa [1.9K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  During electron capture, an inner electron usually from K shell or L shell combines with proton of the nucleus thereby changing proton to neutron. The process of electron capture is also accompanied by the emission of neutrino. It generally occurs in proton rich nucleus. The capture of electron by the proton creates a hole in the electron shell. The hole created is generally filled by the dropping down of a higher level electron with the emission of X -ray.

Which statement best describes the kinetic molecular
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A. The kinetic molecular theory relates the properties of a state of matter to the motion of  its molecules.

Explanation:

The higher the kinetic energy of the molecules, the faster its movement will be. The state of a matter will depend on how fast the molecules move. When the molecules barely move, it will be packed tightly and its state will be solid. If the molecules kinetic energy rises, eventually they start moving around and the state will be liquid. If the kinetic energy rises further, the molecule will expand and changed into gas form.

Why is the air in a jet aircraft flying at high altitudes pressurized? *
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

Explanation:

-Air becomes increasingly thinner with increasing altitudes.

-As such, oxygen becomes limited at higher altitudes and makes it difficult or almost impossible to breath  a condition called hypoxia.

-Aircraft cabins are therefore pressurized to maintained a similar pressure as that experienced at sea level to ensure normal breathing of passengers.

An experiment produced 0.10 g CO2, with a volume of 0.056 L at STP. If the accepted density of CO2 at STP is 1.96 g/L, what is t
Pachacha [2.7K]
The density of CO2 getting from experiment is 0.1/0.056 = 1.79 g/L. The percent error of this is (1.96 -1.79)/1.96*100%=8.67%. So the approximate percent error is 8.67%.
