Answer:
Lead Pb
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know what occurs when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is an helium atom. When an isotope emits an alpha particle, it loses an helium atom corresponding to subtracting 4 from its mass number and 2 from its atomic number. This of course coupled with the release of radiation.
Now, we polonium has a proton number of 84 and a mass number of 210. Subtracting 2 and 4 respectively from its proton and mass numbers will yield 82 and 206 proton and mass numbers respectively.
Hence, the decomposition of the Po-210 isotope will yield an element with 82 proton number and 206 mass number. This corresponds to the element Lead.
210Po ——> 206Pb + alpha particle + radiation
Answer:
Potassium
Explanation:
The description here fits potassium. Potassium is not found alone in nature as it is very reactive. Hence, it tends to occur in relation with other elements because of its high reactivity.
Because it is stated that it gives up its single valence electron, this shows that it belongs to group one of the periodic table. We might be tempted to think hydrogen is the correct answer. But it is interesting to note that hydrogen is not even supposed to be placed in group one at all. It is only placed there for convenience
Answer:
0,218 moles
Explanation:
I will first explain how many liters is 256ml, that is 0,256 l.
because the m stands for milli which is a factor of 1000 -> (256 ml / 1000 = 0,256 l)
To calculate the amount of moles you multiply the volume with the concentration. So 0,256l x 0,855M = 0,218 moles.
Answer:
The sperm fertilizes the egg to produce a zygote.
Explanation:
Gametes are sex cells; sex cells include egg and sperm. A zygote is the result of a sperm fertilizing an egg. Hope this helps.
