Answer:

When radioactive atoms decay, they release energy in the form of ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma rays). The energy is called ionizing radiation because it has enough energy to knock tightly bound electrons from an atom's orbit. This causes the atom to become a charged ion

Atoms of the same element can have a different number of neutrons. There are three naturally-occurring isotopes of carbon.

In which are the ionic solids ranked in order of increasing melting point?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:A

Explanation:

The melting points of solids depend in the relative sizes of ions in the ionic lattice. The smaller the relative sizes of the ions, the higher the lattice energy and the stronger the lattice hence higher melting point. Comparing relative ionic sizes, fluoride ion is lesser in size than chloride ion hence NaF has a higher melting point than NaCl.
