Cuál es la característica principal para que un elemento sea radiactivo?

Chemistry

Definimos la radiactividad como el proceso mediante el cual un núcleo inestable pierde energia mediante emisiones (puede emitir fotones, neutrones, etc.)

Así, la característica princpial es que el elemento debe ser inestable.

-------------------------------------

Cuando tenemos un elemento inestable, lo que puede deberse a que el elemento tiene un núcleo muy grande, o a que el elemento por alguna razón tiene muchos neutrones, este elemento querrá de alguna manera volver a un estado más estable.

Usualmente, la inestabilidad se ve representada como un dado exceso de energía, entonces la forma en la que el átomo se estabiliza es liberando energía de alguna forma.

Esta energía puede ser liberada mediante una desintegración, donde el elemento original se convierte en otros elementos y en el proceso se liberan nucleones, o por emisiones de fotones característicos del elemento, o de otras diversas formas que dependerán del caso particular.

Concluyendo la idea, para que un elemento sea radiactivo (es decir, emite radiación) la característica  que este elemento debe tener es que debe ser inestable.

Is air an element, compound or mixture? explain your answer
emmainna [20.7K]

It is a mixture because the compounds that make up air e.g. oxygen (o2), Carbon dioxide (co2) and the most important Nitrogen which is an element and makes up 78.09% of air are not chemically bound in the way that compounds are because they can be separated easily and there has been no change in state to any of the compounds or elements in air!hope this helpful!

On a flight to Europe, you notice that the packages of peanuts are puffed up. Why? 1. The jet is over-pressurized at high altitu
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

5. They were packaged at a higher pressure on the ground, thus causing the gas inside the packages to expand in the sky where the jet is at a lower pressure.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law, the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to it volume at constant temperature

P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂

At the factories, the peanuts are packaged at atmospheric conditions whereby P₁ = 1 atm, however, the pressure of the air in the atmosphere decreases with altitude as such the pressure in the airplane jet is about a fraction of hat on the ground by about a factor of 0.7.

Therefore P₂ = 0.7 atm and we have

V₂ = P₁·V₁/P₂ = 1 atm×V₁/0.7 atm = 1.43·V₁

The volume increases at high altitudes

C4H9OH(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+?H2O(l) what coefficient should be placed in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms?
slava [35]

Answer:

5

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too
