What similarities are there between Beta Radiation and Alpha Radiation

Chemistry
1 answer:
joja [24]3 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?

Evaporation is commonly used to concentrate dissolved solids in a liquid feed stream and produce pure water vapor.
Sergio [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process by which a substance changes its state from liquid to gas. evaporation occurs at all temperatures but it's rate increases as temperature increases.

Pure water vapour can be produced by evaporation.

As the liquids are removed, the solids present in solution becomes more concentrated.

How much money will it cost to drive a school bus 94.00 miles if it gets 6.500 miles per gallon and gas costs $2.459/gallon?​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

It will cost $35.5602

Explanation:

$2.459 /6.5 (mpg) = 0.3783 (cents per mile)

$0.3783 (cost per mile) * 94 (total miles) = $35.5602 total

The effective nuclear charge is the amount of charge experienced by an electron taking into account any shielding effects from o
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The nuclear charge increases from boron to carbon, but there is no additional shielding( that is no additional shells).

Explanation:

First of all, we must know the electron configuration of carbon and boron.

Boron- 1s2 2s2 2p1

Carbon- 1s2 2s2 2p2

Moving from boron to carbon, the effective nuclear charge increases without a corresponding increase in the number of shells. Remember that shielding increases with increase in the number of intervening shells between the outermost electron and the nucleus. Since there isn't an increase in shells, boron experience a lower screening effect.

From

Zeff= Z- S

The Z for carbon is 6 while for boron is 5 even though both have the same number of screening electron S(4 screening electrons). Hence it is expected the Zeff(effective nuclear charge) for boron will be less than that of carbon.

If the mass of a material is 104 grams and the volume of the material is 21 cm3, what would the density of the material be?
WITCHER [35]
Remembering that
d = m ÷ v

d = ?
m = 104 g
v = 21 cm³

Therefore:

d = 104 ÷ 21

<span>d = 4,95 g÷cm³</span>
