What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]2 years ago
5 0

The largest particle, Alpha, has the least penetrative power. Positive charge is carried by alpha particles. Two neutrons and two protons are bound together to form an alpha particle. The helium-4 nucleus was later identified as the alpha particle. Among the three types of radioactive emissions, alpha particles have the most mass. An alpha particle has approximately 8000 times the mass of a beta particle. The penetrative power of an alpha particle is reduced due to its large size.

Beta particles are negative-charged high-energy electrons or positrons. Beta particles have a higher penetrative power than alpha particles due to their smaller size.

Hope this helps and if it does, don't be afraid to give my answer a "Thanks" and maybe a Brainliest if it's correct?

How many times more hydroxide ions are there in a solution with a ph of 9 than in a solution with a ph of 3?
cestrela7 [59]
The pH unit has 10x as many hydrogens ions as the unit above.
Ex: A pH of 5 would have 10x more hydrogen ions than a pH of 6 
and 100x more than if it had a pH of 7.
With a pH of 9 and 3, this is equivalent to 10⁶
So your answer should be:
1,000,000

How many moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess<br> P4)?
ludmilkaskok [199]

0.3268 moles of PC15 can be produced from 58.0 g of Cl₂ (and excess

P4)

<h3>How to calculate moles?</h3>

The balanced chemical equation is

P_{4}  + 10Cl_{2}  = 4PCl_{5}

The mass of clorine is m(Cl_{2}) = 58.0 g

The amount of clorine is n(Cl_{2}) = m(Cl_{2})/M(Cl_{2}) = 58/70.906 = 0.817 mol

The stoichiometric reaction,shows that

10 moles of Cl_{2} yield 4 moles of PCl_{5};

0.817 of Cl_{2} yield x moles of PCl_{5}

n(PCl_{5}) = 4*0.817/10 = 0.3268 mol
