Answer:

A) alpha particle, beta particle, gamma ray

Explanation:

Alpha beta and gamma radiations are the examples of ionizing radiations. When an atom is an excited state and having high energy, the atom is in unstable state. The excess of energy is released by the atom to get the stability. The released energy is in the form of radiations which may include alpha, beta, gamma, X-ray etc.

Properties of alpha radiation:  

Alpha radiations can travel in a short distance.

These radiations can not penetrate into the skin or clothes.

These radiations can be harmful for the human if these are inhaled.

These radiations can be stopped by a piece of paper.

₉₂U²³⁸   →   ₉₀Th²³⁴  + ₂He⁴  + energy

Beta radiations:  

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminum is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.  

Gamma radiations:

Gamma radiations are high energy radiations having no mass.

These radiations are travel at the speed of light.

Gamma radiations can penetrate into the many materials.

These radiations are also used to treat the cancer.

Lead is used for the protection  against gamma radiations because of its high molecular density.

The lead apron are used by the person when treated with gamma radiations.

Lead shields are also used in the wall, windows and doors of the room where gamma radiations are treated, in-order to protect the surroundings.

I think the best answer is the last option. A scatter plot is the appropriate type of graph for the student to use to show the percent samples per group. This plot is somewhat similar to line graphs. However, they are use for  a specific purpose which is to show the relationship between two parameters. In this case, the correlation between pH and the percent of samples.

Balance the equation for the reaction in which sodium oxide reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

➢ \: Balance \:  the  \: equation \:  for \:  the  \: reaction \\  in \:  which \:  sodium  \: oxide \:  reacts  \\ with  \: water \:  to \:  form  \: sodium \:  hydroxide.

⇒ We have Na2O + H2O --> NaOH. We have 2 sodiums and 2 oxygens and 2 hydrogens on the left side, but only one of each on the right side.

Sodium Oxide + Water → Sodium Hydroxide

⇒ Na2O + H2O → 2NaOH .

Sodium oxide is used in ceramics and glasses. Sodium oxide reacts exothermically with cold water to produce sodium hydroxide solution.
