Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space at the speed of light. This energy has an electric field and a magnetic field associated with it, and has wave-like properties. You could also call radiation “electromagnetic waves”.

Which compound is a polar molecule and has a linear geometry
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Linear molecule is a molecule in which atoms are deployed in a straight line (under 180° angle). Molecules with an linear electron pair geometries have sp hybridization at the central atom. An example of linear electron pair and molecular geometry are carbon dioxide (O=C=O) and beryllium hydride BeH2.

The naturally occurring radioactive decay series that begins with 23592U stops with formation of the stable 20782Pb nucleus. The
dsp73

Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series

Explanation:

Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.

Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.

In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+X_2^4\alpha+Y_{-1}^0e

Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X

4X= 28

X = 7

Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y

2X- Y = 10

2(7) - Y= 10

14-10 = Y

Y= 4

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{82}^{207}\textrm{Pb}+7_2^4\alpha+4_{-1}^0e

Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
