Answer:

Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u

(plutonium-239)

Explanation:

In alpha decay, the element subtracts 4 from its mass number and subtracts 2 from its atomic number.

So if we end with Uranium-235, which has an atomic number of 92:

235+4 = 239

92+2 = 94

Element 94 is Pu, plutonium, and its mass could very well be 239 if it's an isotope. So the answer is Superscript 239 subscript 94 upper P u.

harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect , radiation of some energy is made to fall on metal plate which results in the ejection of electrons by the metal plate . The kinetic energy of electrons comes from the energy of radiation falling on metal plate . Some of energy of radiation falling on metal plate is used in the process of bringing the  electron to  the surface and it is called threshold energy . The radiation must have at least this energy to see to it that electrons are ejected .  and the rest of the energy of radiation is used in imparting kinetic energy to the  electron .

The red light radiation has least energy so it is least likely to eject electrons from metal plate and produce photoelectric effect .

10. (2 points) What is the process by which a solute forms a solution in a solvent. A) calisthenics B) bumping C) dissolution D)
Triss [41]

Answer: (C) Dissolution is the process by which a solute form a solution in a solvent.

Explanation: Dissolution can be described as the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent to give a solvent.

The solute may be a solid, liquid or gas and solvent is usually a liquid but can also be liquid, gas or supercritical fluid. The most common solvent is water and it is referred to as the universal solvent.

Example are:

1.Stirring of sugar in water.

In this case the solute is the sugar and the solvent is water.

2.Organic substances dissolves readily in solvent like kerosene and benzene and they are known as non-polar solvent while the organic substances are the solute
