The answer should be "by convection" not by radiation.
Sodium and magnesium oxides are alkaline. Aluminium oxides are amphoteric (reacting both as a base or acid). Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine oxides are acidic. Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics.
In 1871, a Russian Chemist, Dimitri Mendeleev, gave a useful scheme for classification of elements. He presented the first regular periodic table in which elements of similar chemical properties were arranged in eight vertical columns called groups. The horizontal rows of table were called periods. He arranged elements in ascending order of their atomic masses and found that elements having similar chemical properties appeared at regular intervals. This observation was called Periodic Law.
The dilution formula can be used to find the volume needed
c1v1 = c2v2
Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution
And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared
c1 - 0.33 M
c2 - 0.025 M
v2 - 25 mL
Substituting these values in the equation
0.33 M x v1 = 0.025 M x 25 mL
v1 = 1.89 mL
Therefore 1.89 mL of the 0.33 M solution needs to be diluted up to 25 mL to make a 0.025 M solution
Alpha particles are relatively heave and can be stopped by a sheet of paper.
