Answer:

The answer is D. gamma rays

Explanation:

A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:

alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.

Beta particles (β) = they have 5x $10^{-4}$ amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power

Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher

For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.

Calculate the density of an object with a mass of 6.147 and a volume of 9.3 (include units)

Olin [163]

Here is the formula for density:
Density (D) = Mass (M) divided by Volume (V)

So you would do D = 6.147 divided by 9.3

As an as answer you would get: 0.6609677419g/cm^3

Additional information:

The formula for volume is:
V = M divided by D

The formula for Mass is:
M = D times V

I hope this helps :)

Calculate the atomic mass of silicon. The three silicon isotopes have atomic masses and relative abundances of 27.9769 amu (92.2

Kamila [148]

The atomic mass would be 28.08535 amu. Multiply 27.9769 by .92297 = 25.803. Multiply 28.9765 by .046832 to get 1.357. Multiply 29.9738 by .03872 to get .925351136. Add 25.803 + 1.357 + .03872 to get 28.08535 amu
