1) 100s of millions of years ago Trees and plants fall into swamps
2) Layers of rotting plant matter builds up underwater
3) Over millions of years the weight of layers heat the plant matter and turn into Peat
4) Over millions of years more pressure and heat turns Peat into coal
Answer:
Explanation:
To calculate their average atomic masses which is otherwise known as the relative atomic mass, we simply multiply the given abundances of the atoms and the given atomic masses.
The abundace is the proportion or percentage or fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature.
This can be expressed below:
RAM = Σmₙαₙ
where mₙ is the mass of isotope n
αₙ is the abundance of isotope n
for this problem:
RAM of Li = m₆α₆ + m₇α₇
m₆ is mass of isotope Li-6
α₆ is the abundance of isotope Li-6
m₇ is mass of isotope Li-7
α₇ is the abundance of isotope Li-7
Answer:
carbon with graphite as the allotrope
Answer:
Prompt Neutrons
Explanation:
Principle. Using uranium-235 as an example, this nucleus absorbs thermal neutrons, and the immediate mass products of a fission event are two large fission fragments, which are remnants of the formed uranium-236 nucleus. These fragments emit two or three free neutrons (2.5 on average), called prompt neutrons.
