The daughter isotope : Radon-222 (Rn-222).
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an alpha decay
Required
The daughter nuclide
Solution
Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles ₀γ⁰
- positron particles ₁e⁰
- neutron ₀n¹
The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same
Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra
Alpha particles : ₂⁴He
So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴ , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4
The reaction :
₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn
The sun is made up of two main elements, hydrogen and helium.
- Hydrogen makes up about 92% of all of the atoms in the sun while helium makes up about 7.8%.
- Oxygen, carbon, neon and nitrogen make up most of the remaining 0.2%.
A . A person Jumping represents an unbalanced force.
<u>Explanation:</u>
If equal amount of force applied on any object from both the directions, then the object will not move and so the force is a balanced force.
If an unequal amount of force on an object from both sides then the object will move in the opposite direction of the maximum force applied, so it is called as an unbalanced force.
- When the force is unbalanced then its velocity will change, so options C and D are omitted.
- In Option B the vase is sitting on a table, just kept so there is no action of any unbalanced force.
- But a person jumping represents an unbalanced force, since the person do not jump with constant velocity and it will vary.
Answer:
The exposed metal rusts is an example of a chemical change because rust is an example of a chemical change in objects for example bicycles, scooters, etc.
