Which statement best describes alpha decay?(1 point)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Veseljchak [2.6K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

After the ejection of an alpha particle, the remaining nucleus has a mass number that is four less and an atomic number that is two less, so alpha decay is a type of nuclear fission.

Answer:

Response is below

Explanation:

The different types of mining are underground, surface, placer, and in-situ. Underground mining uses various materials to excavate resources from beneath the surface of the Earth. Surface mining is a category of mining that in which soil and rock overlying the mineral deposit are removed. Placer mining is the mining of stream bed deposits for minerals. In-situ mining is a mining process used to recover minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into a deposit.

Masja [62]

Answer:

The atomic mass of the boron atom would be <em>10.135</em>

Explanation:

This is generally known as relative atomic mass.

Relative atomic mass or atomic weight is a physical quantity defined as the ratio of the average mass of atoms of a chemical element in a given sample to the atomic mass of 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom. Since both quantities in the ratio are masses, the resulting value is dimensionless; hence the value is said to be relative and does not have a unit.

<em>Note that the relative atomic mass of atoms is not always a whole number because of it being isotopic in nature.</em>

  • <em>Divide each abundance by 100 then multiply by atomic mass</em>
  • <em>Do that for each isotope, then add the two result. Thus</em>

Relative atomic mass of Boron = (18.5/100 x 11) + (81/100 x 10)

                                                 = 2.035 + 8.1

                                                 = 10.135
