Answer:
Radiation is energy. It can come from unstable atoms that undergo radioactive decay, or it can be produced by machines. Radiation travels from its source in the form of energy waves or energized particles. There are different forms of radiation and they have different properties and effects.

Non-Ionizing and Ionizing Radiation
There are two kinds of radiation: non-ionizing radiation and ionizing radiation.
Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves.
Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay is the emission of energy in the form of ionizing radiationHelpionizing radiationRadiation with so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes.. The ionizing radiation that is emitted can include alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma raysHelpgamma raysA form of ionizing radiation that is made up of weightless packets of energy called photons. Gamma rays can pass completely through the human body; as they pass through, they can cause damage to tissue and DNA.. Radioactive decay occurs in unstable atoms called radionuclides.
Explanation:
Leonardo de Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
Electron affinity is defined as the change in energy (in kJ/mole) of a neutral atom (in the gaseous phase) when an electron is added to the atom to form a negative ion. In other words, the neutral atom's likelihood of gaining an electron.
Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol.
Electron Affinity of Caesium is 45.5 kJ/mol.
Electron Affinity of Lithium is 59.6 kJ/mol. Electronegativity of Lithium is 0.98. ... Electron affinities are more difficult to measure than ionization energies. An atom of Lithium in the gas phase, for example, gives off energy when it gains an electron to form an ion of Lithium.
Trends
The ionization energy of the elements within a period generally increases from left to right. This is due to valence shell stability.
The ionization energy of the elements within a group generally decreases from top to bottom. This is due to electron shielding.
The noble gases possess very high ionisation energies because of their full valence shells as indicated in the graph. Note that helium has the highest ionization energy of all the elements.
Explanation:
N2O4(g) <----------> 2NO2(g)
Before proceeding,
A chemical equilibrium can be defined as a condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs.
Statement 1.
This statement is false. Equilibrium is not about equal concentrations but rather zero change in concentration of the reactants and products.
Statement 2.
This statement is True in chemical equilibrium; the forward and reverse reactions occur at equal rates.
Statement 3.
This statement is False. The rate constant for the forward reaction is not equal to the rate constant of the reverse reaction.
Statement 4.
The concentration of NO2 divided by the concentration of N2O4 is NOT equal to a constant. To obtain a constant value irregardless of the concentrations, the concentration of NO2 must be squared. This comes from the stoichiometry of the reaction
Kc= [NO2]2 / [N2O4]
This statement is false.
