Where does radioactivity come from?

Chemistry
1 answer:
julia-pushkina [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

C. radioactive material

Explanation:

This exposure primarily comes from cosmic rays, radioactive material in the earth (such as uranium-238), ingestion of naturally occurring radionuclides in food (such as potassium- 40), and inhalation of radon gas. In the United States, the average background radiation dose is 300 mrem/yr.

Which ecosystem is more likely to become unstable one with many kinds of plants and animals or one with few kinds?
Art [367]

Answer:

One with a few kinds is more likely to become unstable.

Explanation:

A lack of biodiversity means there is a lower chance of them having traits that enable them to adapt to a changing environment. A lack of biodiversity is usually caused by humans. It could be the result of habitat loss, invasive species, overexploitation, pollution, or climate change.

How many moles are in 5.6x1025 molecules of calcium oxide?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

<h2>93.02 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{5.6 \times  {10}^{25} }{6.02  \times  {10}^{23} }  \\  = 93.023...

We have the final answer as

<h3>93.02 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .
