When an isotope emits an alpha particle, its atomic number

Chemistry
1 answer:
Yuri [45]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The atomic number of the isotope is reduced by 2 and atomic mass is reduced by 4.

Explanation:

Alpha particle is doubly ionized helium atom. The atomic mass of helium atom is 4 u and atomic number of helium atom is 2. The emission of alpha particle means doubly ionized helium atom will be released from the isotope.

Hence, the emission of the alpha particle will decrease the atomic mass by 4 and atomic number by 2.

Hence, option(a) is correct

What is the similarities of freezing of water and electrolysis of water​
erastova [34]

Answer:

Electrolysis of water is the process of using electricity to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas released in this way can be used as hydrogen fuel, or remixed with the oxygen to create oxyhydrogen gas, which is used in welding and other applications.Ordinarily, the freezing point of water and melting point is 0 °C or 32 °F. The temperature may be lower if supercooling occurs or if there are impurities present in the water which could cause freezing point depression to occur. Under certain conditions, water may remain a liquid as cold as -40 to -42°

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Magnetism is believed to be caused by the alignment of small, numerous sub-units called : <em><u>Domains</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Explanation:

Domains : A magnetic domain is the region in which in which magnetic field of the atoms are grouped together and aligned.

  • In unmagnetized material all the magnetic Domains  point in different direction.
  • In magnetised material (ferromagnets , antiferromagnets) , The Domains point in a particular( fixed Pattern) direction.
