What is nucular decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
Nikitich [7]3 years ago
6 0
Nuclear decay is the decay of atoms on the atomic scale. “Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.”

A sample of methane (CH4) has a volume of 25 mL at a pressure of 0.80 atm. What is the volume of the gas at each of the followin
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a. 50ml b.10ml c. 6.097ml d. 190.1 ml

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law

Volume is inversely proportional to pressure at constant temerature

Mathematically

P1V1=P2V2

P1=Initial pressure=0.8atm

V1=Initial volume=25ml

making V2 the subject

at 0.4atm P2=0.4 atm,

V2=25×0.8/0.4

=50ml

at 2 atm V2=25×0.8/2

=10 ml

1mmHg=0.00131579

2500mmHg=3.28 atm

At 3.28 atm,V2=25×0.8/3.28

=6.097 ml

at 80.0 torr

1 torr=0.00131579

80 torr=0.1052 atm

at 0.1048 atm V2=25×0.8/0.1048

=190.1 ml

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Equal volumes of SO2(g) and O2(g) at STP contain the same number of molecules

Explanation:

According to Avogadro Law,

Equal volume of all the gases at same temperature and pressure have equal number of molecules.

This law state that volume and number of moles of gas have direct relation.

When the amount of gas increases its volume will increase and when the amount of gas decreases its volume will decrease.

Mathematical relation:

V ∝ n

V/n = K

K is proportionality constant.

When number of moles change from n₁ to n₂ and volume from V₁ to V₂

expression will be,

V₁/n₁ = K     ,     V₂/n₂ = K

V₁/n₁ = V₂/n₂

Describe the relationship between the radius of a cation and that of the atom from which forms.
vichka [17]

The radius of the cation is much smaller than the corresponding neutral atom.(b) The radius of an anion is much larger than the corresponding neutral atom.Explanation:The size of the atom or ion is inversely proportional to the nuclear charge experienced by the electrons.(a)The size of the cation is smaller than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. This is because after removal of an electron from the highest principle energy level the nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons increases resulting in the decrease in size.(b)The size of an anion is larger than the size of the corresponding neutral atom. In an anion, an extra electron is added to the highest principle energy level but the effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons towards the nucleus is still same. The net effective nuclear charge experienced by the electrons present in the outermost shell decrease. Moreover, due to the added electron, the repulsion between the electrons also increases resulting in the increase in size

Make since? i hope this helps

What is the correct answer ?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Element with 6s subshell

Explanation:

Reactivity of an element depends on the electronic configuration and position of element in the periodic table as reactivity increases as we go down the periodic table.

This is so because number of shell increases as move down the periodic table and the last electron is further away from the nucleus.

Element with 6s subshell is the largest among 3s and 4s subshell and has more number of shells so it will react more than 3s and 4s subshell.

Hence, the correct answer is "Element with 6s subshell".
