3 0

Even in pitchblende, polonium is exceedingly rare: 1,000 tons of ore must be treated to yield 40 milligrams of polonium. It has a one-part-in-ten-thousandth-thousandth-thousandth-thousandth-thousandth-thousandth It is found in nature as a byproduct of the radioactive decay of uranium, thorium, and actinium.

Atomic Number: 210

While camping you light a small campfire, initiating the combustion of wood to produce heat and
Ksju [112]

Answer:

A. It is exothermic

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction in which a substance combines with oxygen present in air to produce carbon (iv) oxide and water as well release  heat and light energy.Combustion is an exothermic process.

An exothermic reaction releases energy in the form of heat to the surroundings. The energy required to break bonds in the reactants is less than the energy required to form new bonds in the products in an exothermic reaction.

From the given options;

A. It is exothermic is determinable since the reaction is a combustion reaction

B. The bond making energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather it is composed of various substances.

C. It is endothermic. is wrong because combustion of wood is exothermic.

D. The bond breaking energy is more than 600 kJ is not certain because the mass of the wood being burnt is not given. Also, wood is not composed of a specific element that would be taking part in the reaction, rather is composed of many substances.

Increasing temperature can:
umka21 [38]

The answer would be A. You cannot decrease mass because of increasing temp so it can't be C and adding neutrons or protons would be changing the atom and therefore the element, and that is not possible through just an increase of temperature, so it can't be B or D. Hope this was helpful! ;)

An isotope of carbon has 8 neutrons. What is the correct hyphenated symbol for this isotope?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Carbon-14 or C-14

Explanation:

Since the isotope is a carbon isotope, it means the the atomic number of the isotope is 6.

The atomic number of an element is the proton number.

Therefore, the isotope has a proton number of 6

Now we need to obtain the mass number of isotope in order to write the symbol of the isotope. This is illustrated below:

Mass number = Proton +Neutron

Proton = 6

Neutron = 8

Mass number = 6 + 8

Mass number = 14

Therefore, the symbol of the isotope is carbon-14 or C-14
