Answer:Strontium-90 and cesium-137 have half-lives of about 30 years (half the radioactivity will decay in 30 years). Plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years. High-level wastes are hazardous because they produce fatal radiation doses during short periods of direct exposure.
Explanation:
Answer:
The 5 chemical changes are. 1) Tarnish, 2) Rust, 3) Dissolve, 4) Burn, 5) Bake.
Ionic bonds form between nonmetals and metals.
The reason ionic bonds are formed is because nonmetals and metals usually have high electronegativities, which essentially means that metals pull on nonmetals' electrons.
When a metal takes an electron from a nonmetal, the metal becomes negatively charged and the nonmetal becomes positively charged. Because opposite charges attract, the two atoms will stick together, thus forming an ionic bond
-T.B.
The liquid to solid process using the particle theory is as below
- The process that involve change of liquid to solid is known as Freezing
- It involve change from a high energy state to lower energy
- The constant temperature at which a liquid change to solid by giving out heat energy is called freezing point of the liquid
- when liquid are cooled the thermal energy of particles decrease.
- The cohesive forces between the particles strengthen to such extent that particles can have relative motion with each other and they occupy the fixed position, thus liquid is converted to solid
The equation that is a decomposition reaction is
PbCO3(s) ---> PbO(s) + CO2(g)
That is option D.
<h3>Properties of a decomposition reaction</h3>
A chemical reaction is defined as the combination of substances called reactants to form a product. The various types of chemical reaction include:
- single or double replacement reaction
Decomposition reaction is that type of chemical reaction in which the reactant breaks down to form two or more products.
Therefore the heating of lead (II) carbonate is a decomposition reaction.
