Answer:

The first equation shows the alpha decay.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Explanation:

The americium with atomic wight  224 undergo alpha decay and produce

₉₃Np²³⁷ . The alpha particle emitted is also called helium nuclei. During this decay some gamma radiations also produce as a byproduct.

₉₅Am²²⁴   →    ₉₃Np²³⁷ + ₂He⁴

Properties of alpha radiation:

Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number 4 less than and atomic number 2 less than the starting atom.

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

When water freezes into ice, sme of the properties have changed <br> What stays the same
larisa86 [58]
When water freezes into ice, some of the properties have change. What stays the same.




Answer: 1: Ice Melting is a physical change. When liquid water (H2O) freezes into a solid state (ice), it appears changed; However, this change is only physical as the the composition of the constituent molecules is the same: 11.19% hydrogen and 88.81% oxygen by mass.

Compare the polymerisation reaction used to produce poly(ethene) with the
butalik [34]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Polymerization is the process whereby two or more monomers link together to form a compound of high molecular mass called a polymer.

There are two kinds of polymers;

-Addition polymers

-Condensation polymers

Addition polymers are formed by the joining of two or more monomers  to form a polymer without the elimination of a small molecule.

Condensation polymers are formed by the joining of two or more molecules  to form polymers with the elimination of a small molecule.

The main difference between polyethene and polyester is that polyethene is an addition polymer while polyester is a condensation polymer.

In polyethene, ethene molecules are joined together having the repeating unit as [-CH2-CH2-]n.

In polyester, the polymer arises from the reaction of carboxylic acid and an alcohol and loss of water molecules.

Most solids
Daniel [21]
Most solids a) are dense and difficult to compress.

Most solids are closely compacted, their molecules are close together and vibrate. They don't move freely like gas or water molecules do.
They are difficult to be squeezed or flattened.
