Which statement best describes the effect of radioactive decay on a nucleus?

2 answers:

7 0

When radioactive decay occurs, the original nucleus splits into daughter nuclei and the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.

Unstable nuclei often undergo radioactive decay. In a radioactive decay, the unstable nucleus is broken up into other nuclei. Usually, the nuclei formed during radioactive decay are smaller in mass compared to the original nucleus.

Also, the resulting nucleus is more stable than the original nucleus. The nucleus can be of a different element than the original.

The effect is that the nucleus changes into the nucleus of one or more other elements. These daughter nuclei have a lower mass and are more stable (lower in energy) than the parent nucleus.

likoan [24]

Answer:

Compound 1 is molecular

Compound 2 is ionic

Compound 3 can't really be decided

Explanation:

A molecular substance does not conduct electricity, has very low melting and boiling points and is held together by very weak intermolecular forces.

An ionic substance conducts electricity in solution or in molten state but never in the pure solid state, has a high melting and boiling point and has a dull appearance most times.

Compounds 1 shows the properties of molecular substances hence it are designated as such.

On the other hand, compound 2 shows the properties of an ionic substance and is also designated as such.

We can't really decide on compound 3 because it shows some properties of ionic substances and some properties of molecular substances.

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.

What are the effects on the bodies of water? use terms algal bloom, dead zone and hypotoxic

Anna35 [415]

Water pollution is defined as the mixing of water with unwanted substances and that makes water unsafe.

Water pollution includes runoff of excess fertilizers,

herbicides, and insecticides from agricultural lands

and residential areas; oil, grease, and toxic chemicals

from urban runoff and energy production; and

sediment from improperly managed construction sites,

crop and forest lands, and eroding stream banks.

Polluted waters have high BOD which affects aquatic biodiversity.

Hpotoxic substances such as lead, arsenic, and fluoride cause many problems to aquatic animals and humans. Water contaminated with Arsenic results in diseases such as arsenicosis. Fluoride had been reported to cause depression in DNA and RNA synthesis in cultured cells, significant reductions in DNA and RNA levels, and conditions including aging, cancer, and arteriosclerosis are associated with DNA damage and its disrepair. Lead causes problems related to the central nervous system. Children and pregnant women are most at risk. Routine applications of fertilizers and pesticides for agriculture and uncontrolled runoff in water bodies. Adds nitrogen and phosphorus to water. It adds nitrogen and phosphorus to water causing eutrophication and algal blooms.

Therefore, all these activities make our water bodies a death zone for the marine ecosystem as well as humans.
