Answer:

alpha decay

Explanation:

an unstable element is radioactive in nature.

Polonium is a chemical element with a large, unstable nucleus.

the most stable isotope of Polonium is Polonium-209, which typically undergoes an alpha decay to form lead-205 and the emission of an alpha particle.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

gas are well separated with no regular arrangement and spreaded all over. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement and slightly spreaded. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern and not spreaded at all.

Examination of the first few successive ionization energies for a given element usually reveals a large jump between two ionizat
gladu [14]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy required to remove an electron from an atom. Metals have lower ionization energy than non metals since ionization energy increases across a period.

One thing that we must have in mind is that it takes much more energy to remove an electron from an inner filled shell than it takes to remove an electron from an outermost incompletely filled shell.

Now let us consider the case of magnesium which has two outermost electrons. Between IE2 and IE3 we have now moved to an inner filled shell(IE3 refers to removal of electrons from the inner second shell) and a lot of energy is required to remove an electron from this inner filled shell, hence the jump.

For aluminium having three outermost electrons, there is a jump between IE3 and IE4 because IE4 deals with electron removal from a second inner filled shell and a lot of energy is involved in the process hence the jump.

Hence a jump occurs each time electrons are removed from an inner filled shell.

Which scenario represents an unbalanced force?
ladessa [460]

A . A person Jumping represents an unbalanced force.

<u>Explanation:</u>

If equal amount of force applied on any object from both the directions, then the object will not move and so the force is a balanced force.

If an unequal amount of force on an object from both sides then the object will move in the opposite direction of the maximum force applied, so it is called as an unbalanced force.

  • When the force is unbalanced then its velocity will change, so options C and D are omitted.
  • In Option B the vase is sitting on a table, just kept so there is no action of any unbalanced force.
  • But a person jumping represents an unbalanced force, since the person do not jump with constant velocity and it will vary.
