Which best explains why some radioisotopes decay in a decay series? Radioactive materials will always be radioactive. Multiple d

ecays are always required to achieve stability. Some unstable materials decay radioactively into other unstable materials. Unstable materials have varying half-lives.

</span><span>
The correct answer is:
Some unstable materials decay radioactively into other unstable materials.

</span>Radioactive decay a the spontaneous process through which an unstable atomic nucleus breaks into smaller, more stable fragments. <span>It's basically a matter of thermodynamics. Every atom seeks to be as stable as possible. In the case of radioactive decay, instability occurs when there is an imbalance in the number of </span>protons<span> and </span>neutrons<span> in the atomic nucleus.</span>

Two common methods to generate an aldehyde is by oxidation of an alcohol and through ozonolysis.
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

<u>a</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>True</u><u>.</u>

Explanation:

Only primary and secondary alcohols can oxidise to give an aldehyde. But a weak oxidizing agent must be used to prevent formation of a carboxylic acid or ketone.

weak oxidizing agents: Chromyl chloride, silver/oxygen/500°C

take an example of <u>e</u><u>t</u><u>h</u><u>a</u><u>n</u><u>o</u><u>l</u><u>:</u>

<u>{ \bf{CH _{3} CH_{2}OH \:  \:  \frac{Ag/O_{2} }{500 \degree C}  >  \:  \:CH _{3} CHO}}</u>

<u>{ \sf{CH _{3} CHO \:  \: is \: ethanal}}</u>

<u>B</u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>o</u><u>z</u><u>o</u><u>n</u><u>o</u><u>l</u><u>y</u><u>s</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>:</u>

Here, reactants are Ozone gas, Carbon tetrachloride at a temperature (<20°C), ethanoic acid, zinc and water.

take an example of propanol:

if it undergoes ozonolysis, it gives ethanal and methanal.

The reaction is found to be first order in IO3−, first order in SO32−, and first order in H+. If [IO3−]=x, [SO32−]=y, and [H+]=z
ollegr [7]

Answer:

rate = kxyz

Explanation:

It is worth knowing that the rate low can only be determined by experimentation only not by just balancing equations. So here we are told that all the reactants x , y and z are all first order. This is important because we use this as exponents. That is why the exponents of all the reactants will be 1.

rate = kxyz

During El Niño, changes in wind and ocean current patterns result in warm waters stretching across the whole Pacific Ocean. This extra heating causes changes in wind patterns, which causes atmosphere to react and change all the way from the ground to the edge of space around Earth.
