The source of alpha particles in a smoke detector is the Americium.
Answer:
A = 2
B = 1
Explanation:
The atomic number of lithium is 3.
Its atomic mass is 7 amu.
It is present in group group 1.
It has one valance electron.
Lithium is alkali metal it form salts.
It is silvery soft metal. It has lowest density as compared to all other metals.
It react vigorously with water.
It is used in rechargeable batteries which are used in camera, mobile, laptops etc.
The electronic configuration of Li:
Li₃ = 1s² 2s¹
Thus,
A = 2
B = 1
Answer:
(1) cathode: Y
(2) anode X
(3) electrons in the wire flow toward: Y
(4) electrons in the wire flow away from: X
(5) anions from the salt bridge flow toward X
(6) cations from the salt bridge flow toward Y
(7) gains mass: Y
(8) looses mass X
Explanation:
The voltaic cell uses two different metal electrodes, each in an electrolyte solution. The anode will undergo oxidation and the cathode will undergo reduction. The metal of the anode will oxidize, going from an oxidation state of 0 (in the solid form) to a positive oxidation state, and it will become an ion. At the cathode, the metal ion in the solution will accept one or more electrons from the cathode, and the ion’s oxidation state will reduce to 0. This forms a solid metal that deposits on the cathode. The two electrodes must be electrically connected to each other, allowing for a flow of electrons that leave the metal of the anode and flow through this connection to the ions at the surface of the cathode. This flow of electrons is an electrical current that can be used to do work, such as turn a motor or power a light.
