Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of a body. It is mathematically given as;
Kinetic energy =
m v²
m is the mass of the body
v is the velocity
Now, let us find the K.E from the given choices;
Option C will have the greatest kinetic energy;
mass = 0.14kg , v = 40m/s
Kinetic energy =
x 0.14 x 40² = 112J
Technically speaking absolutely nothing but from a religious standpoint God did
A stable electron configuration has 8 valence electrons and a full octet, meaning that their would be a "happy" atom and it would be non reactive.
Alpha, beta and gamma radiation are all types of radiation that can be emitted from the nucleus of an atom. Apart from this they are different. Alpha radiation consists of a helium nucleus, beta radiation consists of an electron (or positron) and gamma radiation consists of very high energy electromagnetic radiation.
