There are usually 3 topics used to compare types of radiation:
Ionising ability
Penetrative power
Range in air
Ionising ability
Alpha radiation has strong ionising ability, while beta only has moderate ionisation and gamma is very weakly ionising.
Penetrative power
Alpha particles are weakly penetrating, stopped by paper, while beta particles have stronger penetrating ability, stopped by skin and gamma radiation is very strongly penetrating, stopped only by thick layers of lead.
Range in air
Alpha particles- range of only a few centimetres
Beta - range of up to one meter
Gamma- infinite range in air.

Answer: Atoms contain tiny, negatively charged electrons
Explanation: Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles.
More similar to Cesium
Explanation:
The properties of Rubidium are more similar to those of cesium compared to strontium.
Elements in the same group on the periodic table have similar chemical properties.
- Rubidium and Cesium are located in the first group on the periodic table.
- Other elements in this group are lithium, sodium, potassium and francium
- Strontium belongs to the second group on the periodic table.
- The first group have a ns¹ valence shells electronic configuration.
- They are all referred to as alkali metals

Answer: Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Explanation:
Since this is a neutralization reaction, the end product would be salt and water. In this equation Calcium will displace hydrogen from the acid because it is more reactive, resulting in the formation of CaSO4 (salt), while the displaced H2 molecule combines with OH molecules to form water.
The equation of the reaction is thus;
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + H2O(l), in other to balance it, we add ''2'' to the water molecule in the right hand side of the equation.
Balance equation is
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2SO4 (aq) ----------> CaSO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Answer:
a. Ksp = 4s³
b. 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
Explanation:
a. Obtain an expression for the solubility product of AB2(S),in terms of s.
AB₂ dissociates to give
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
Since 1 mole of AB₂ gives 1 mole of A and 2 moles of B, we have the mole ratio as
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
1 : 1 : 2
Since the solubility of AB₂ is s, then the solubility of A is s and that of B is 2s
So, we have
AB₂ ⇄ A²⁺ + 2B⁻
[s] [s] [2s]
So, the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]²
= (s)(2s)²
= s(4s²)
= 4s³
b. Calculate the Ksp of AB₂, given that solubility is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³
Given that the solubility of AB is 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³ and the solubility product Ksp = [A²⁺][B⁻]² = 4s³ where s = solubility of AB = 2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³
Substituting the value of s into the equation, we have
Ksp = 4s³
= 4(2.4 × 10³ mol/dm³)³
= 4(13.824 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹)
= 55.296 × 10³ mol³/dm⁹
= 5.5296 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
≅ 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
Ksp = 5.53 × 10⁴ mol³/dm⁹
