Chemistry

Answer:

Explanation:

What occurred then is as a result of nuclear fission. This occurs as the Uranium-235 split into two smaller nuclei while releasing high energy neutrons. These neutrons bombard existing U-235 in the atmosphere and this reaction continue in a spontaneous manner until a chain reaction is formed of U-235, whose fall out fills the environment. This process was what led to people been exposed to high intensity radiation in the days and months after the atomic bomb was dropped.

If an element has a mass number of 222 and an atomic number of 86, how
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

136

Explanation:

The Mass Number is the combination of the amount of Protons and Neutrons in an element, so if the total mass is 222, and the amount of protons is 86, then you can do 86 + x = 222 to find that x is equal to 136

Can I find a tutor to help me with this question?
Eddi Din [679]

INFORMATION:

We have the following statements

And we must complete them

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To complete the statements, we need to classify matter according to its state:

- Solid:

there is not enough thermal energy to overcome the intermolecular interactions between the particles. As a result, solids have a definite shape and volume.

- Liquid:

That describes the liquid state. In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.

- Gas:

That describes the gas state, which we will consider in more detail elsewhere. Like liquids, gases have no definite shape, but unlike solids and liquids, gases have no definite volume either.

Finally, we know that:

- A solid has a definite volume and has a definite shape

- A liquid has a definite volume and has not a definite shape

- A gas has not a definite volume and has not a definite shape

ANSWER:

- A solid has a definite volume and has a definite shape

- A liquid has a definite volume and has not a definite shape

- A gas has not a definite volume and has not a definite shape

Based on what you know about matter explain why the food coloring mixes at different rates
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Matter has different densities. Different food colorings have different densities. Those with a higher density will sink to the bottom and mix much easier than one with a lower density. The higher density also contains more particles making it easier to mix or give it a fuller color.

Give the volume indicated. Be sure to include all significant figures.
miskamm [114]

Answer: -

71

Explanation: -

From the diagram, we see that volume goes from 70 to 75 in 5 markings.

Each marking is for 1.

It is the most accuracy possible as there is no smaller marking.

Significant figures expresses the required amount of accuracy.

Thus the volume indicated from the diagram is 71 .
