Answer: Mineral A changed because Molecular energy transferred is equal or greater than than its Activation energy

Mineral B didn't change because Molecular energy transferred is less than its Activation energy.

Explanation:

The molecules of Mineral A has been disturbed by the addition of energy causing a change and the entropy is increased. The Molecules of Mineral B has not been disturbed because the residual energy has not been overcome and therefore yielding no visible change

The wavelength of a given region of the electromagnetic spectrum ranges from 1 x 10-11 - 1 x 10-8 meters. Which waves are found

Fittoniya [83]

The correct answer is option B. X-rays are the waves found in the electromagnetic spectrum at a wavelength of 1x10^-11 - 1x10^-8 m and frequencies of 3x10^16 to 3x10^19 Hz. These waves penetrate easily through certain materials which made them usefule in the field of medicine.

Radium decays to form radon. Which equation correctly describes this decay? Superscript 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a righ

KiRa [710]

Answer: 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e

Explanation:

Alpha decay : When a larger nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha particle. In this process, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

The general representation of alpha decay reaction is:

$^{A}_{Z}\textrm{X}\rightarrow ^{A-4}_{Z-2}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}$

Representation of Radium decays to form Radon

$^{226}_{88}\textrm{Ra}\rightarrow ^{222}_{86}\textrm {Rn}+ ^{4}_{2}\textrm{He}$

Thus 226 Subscript 88 Baseline Upper R a right arrow Superscript 222 Subscript 86 Baseline Upper R n + Superscript 4 Subscript 2 Baseline Upper H e represents alpha decay.

Which best explains why water has a much higher boiling point than would otherwise be predicted?

ikadub [295]

My guess is that water is a liquid and not a solid, or a gas. It can be heated by us or by the suns rays, which if done by the suns rays the water azorbs the light rising the temp to the point of boil which then makes the water evaporate into the air, and thus making cloud in the sky that we see all the time thus when the clouds become big enough it begins to rain. ( also called the water cycle)
