Answer:
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Explanation:
The given nuclear reaction shows alpha decay.
₈₆²²²Rn → ₈₄Po²¹⁸ + H₂⁴
Properties of alpha radiations:
Alpha radiations are emitted as a result of radioactive decay. The atom emit the alpha particles consist of two proton and two neutrons. Which is also called helium nuclei. When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to parent atom the starting atom.
Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.
These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.
These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.
These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.
₉₂U²³⁸ → ₉₀Th²³⁴ + ₂He⁴ + energy
Answer:
Option E. Zirconium
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Mass (m) of cube = 52 mg
Name of the unknown metal =?
Next, we shall determine the volume of the cube. This can be obtained as follow:
Length of side (L) of cube = 0.2 cm
Volume (V) of the cube =?
V = L³
V = 0.2³
V = 0.008 cm³
Next, we shall convert 52 mg to g. This can be obtained as follow:
1000 mg = 1 g
Therefore,
52 mg = 52 mg × 1 g / 1000 mg
52 mg = 0.052 g
Thus, 52 mg is equivalent to 0.052 g.
Next, we shall determine the density of the unknown metal. This can be obtained as follow:
Mass = 0.052 g.
Volume = 0.008 cm³
Density =?
Density = mass / volume
Density = 0.052 / 0.008
Density of the unknown metal = 6.5 g/cm³
Comparing the density of the unknown metal i.e 6.5 g/cm³ with those given in table in the above, we can conclude that the unknown metal is zirconium
Answer:
Hypothesis is an assumption or idea about a particular topic or argument. An hypothesis should be one which is able to be tested and measurable to determine its authenticity.
A theory is an explanation of a scientific observation which has undergone series of experiments and is reproducible in any part of the world.
A law is simply a rule which gives an in depth explanation of a scientific finding. If new findings emerge the law could be changed or modified.
The answer is statement #3.
