Explanation:
An atom undergoes alpha decay by losing a helium atom.
So when bismuth undergoes alpha decay, we have;
²¹⁰₈₃Bi --> ⁴₂He + X
Mass number;
210 = 4 + x
x = 206
Atomic number;
83 = 2 + x
x = 81
The element is Thallium. The symbol is Ti.
For the second part;
X --> ⁴₂He + ²³⁴₉₀Th
Mass number;
x = 4 + 234 = 238
Atomic Number;
x = 2 + 90 = 92
The balanced nuclear equation is;
²³⁸₉₂U --> ⁴₂He + ²³⁴₉₀Th
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Reactions require successful collisions between elements or molecules. A rise in temperature increases the movement of molecules. The more movement, the more collisions. The more collisions, the more reactions. The collisions release energy as heat which warms the flask and so on.
Answer:
1 : the chance or possibility that something will develop and become real There is a potential for injury. 2 : an ability or quality that can lead to success or excellence : promise She has great potential as a musician.
Explanation:
Answer:
alkenes and alkynes are considered as unsaturated hydrocarbons because they are capable of reacting with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to form a saturated hydrocarbon (alkanes)
Explanation:
A saturated compound contains a chain of carbon atoms joined by single bonds, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom.
Propane for example, CH₃-CH₂-CH₃.
It is saturated because all the carbon atoms holds maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
Alkenes such as Propene (CH₂=CH-CH₃) and alkynes like Propyne,
(CH₃-C≡C-H) are unsaturated because the central carbon atoms contain less number of hydrogen atoms than they possibly could.
Answer:
Explanation:
Vaporization Equation => Q = m·ΔHv
m = 0.5Kg water = 500g water
ΔHv = Heat of vaporization = 540 calories/gram
∴Q = 500g x 540cal/g = 270,000 calories x 4.184 joules/cal = 1,129,680 joules = 1130 Kilojoules (3 sig. figs.)
