Answer:

Unlike alpha and beta particles, which have both energy and mass, gamma rays are pure energy. Gamma rays are similar to visable light, but have much higher energy. Gamma rays are often emitted along with alpha or beta particles during radioactive decay.

Which of the following statements describe what a normative system is?

natta225 [31]

Explanation:

though the statements were not given let just give you a brief review of normative system.

A normative statement explains what should be base of the subject according to the belief through valued judgement that describes the fairness of the subject on public policy. Therefore, the unemployment rate should be lowered is a valued judgement based on the belief that it will bring economic welfare.

Normative systems, i.e., sets of norms, have two main. tions: a) to evaluate human actions, and b) to guide peop. The guidance and the evaluation based on a normativ. be good or bad.In social psychology three different normative behaviours have been identified: obedience, conformity and compliance.In the context of a normative system like law (or religion or morality), every statement of what one ought to do (or ought not to do) requires justification from a more general or basic statement. Such statements lead upward through the normative hierarchy until one reaches a foundational normative premise.

write equations to show the chemical processes which occur when the first ionization and the second ionization energies of lithi

diamong [38]

Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second ionization of lithium:

$\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol $(g)$ next to any atom or ion in the equation.
The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 $\text{Li}^{+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: $\text{Li}\;(g)$ .

Hence the equation: $\text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: $\text{Li}^{2+}\;(g)$ as well as an electron $\text{e}^{-}$ .
Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?

The equation for this process is $\text{Li}^{+} \; (g) \to \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}$ .

Why do covalent compounds tend to be squishy?

Sav [38]

Answer:

Since they're easy to separate, covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. 2) Covalent compounds are soft and squishy (compared to ionic compounds, anyway). The reason for this is similar to the reason that covalent compounds have low melting and boiling points. When you hit an ionic compound with something, it feels very hard
