The decay product represented by X : Thorium (Th) : ²³⁴₉₀Th

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Decay reaction

²³⁸₉₂U ⇒ ⁴₂He + X

Required

The decay product

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

In a decay reaction, <em>the sum of the mass number and atomic number of the elements in the reactants and products must be the same</em>

So the mass number of the element X = 238 - 4 = 234

Atomic number of the element X = 92 - 2 = 90

If we look at the periodic system, then the element with atomic number 90 is Thorium (Th)

The density of water is 1.0 grams per milliliter. What can you conclude from this simulation about whether an object will
aliina [53]

The density of water is 1.0 grams per milliliter then it will be sink in water

Density is a word we use to describe how much space an object or substance takes up in the volume and in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance its mass) and another way to put it is that density is the amount of mass per unit of volume

Here given density is 1.0 grams per milliliter and it will be sink in water because the density of water in 1.0 g/ml and this object is more dense than water and the density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance and an object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in and an object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed

Know more about density

Explain the trend in reactivity of the halogens 6 marks
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The reactivity of Group 7 elements decreases down the group. ... The electrons in the outer shell move further away from the nucleus as we go down the group and the attraction force between the electrons and the nucleus become weaker and weaker. This weaker attraction in the larger atoms makes it harder to gain electron.

___ The energy of moving particles.
Sever21 [200]
Anything that is moving has kinetic energy, and the faster it is moving, the more kinetic energy it has. The total kinetic energy of moving particles of matter is called thermal energy. ... That's because the particles of all matter are in constant motion and have kinetic energy.
