Answer:
the answer is Compounds
Explanation:
Compounds are pure substances formed by the combination of elements; they can be decomposed by ordinary chemical means.
The identity of the metal is copper.
<h3>What is specific heat?</h3>
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
Using the formula of specific heat
H = mcdT
Where, H = Heat absorbed
m = mass of the metal
c = specific heat capacity of the metal
dT = temperature change
Putting the values in the equation
20 J = 0.0052 Kg × c × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)
c = 20 J/0.0052 Kg × ( 40.0°C - 30.0°C)
c = 385 JKg-1°C-1
Thus, the metal is copper.

Answer:
D
Explanation:
Gamma radiation penetrates the cell wall of prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria and can inhibit their metabolic functions as well as destroy their DNA.
Debunking the other answers:
A is incorrect as Gamma radiation is used in the treatment of cancer via radiotherapy.
B is incorrect as Gamma rays are too small and would just penetrate any smoke particles.
C is incorrect because Gamma rays are used to disinfect food products to prevent food borne illness. Irradiation is safe to use on food and does not make it radioactive.
Thus, D is correct.
