6 - one sodium atom, 1 hydrogen atom, 1 carbon atom, and 3 oxygen atoms.
The answer is: D.unstable nuclei emitting high-energy particles as they formed more stable compositions.
Those high-energy particles are alpha particles
, beta particles
, gamma radiation.
For example, the decay chain of ²³⁸U is called the uranium series.
Decay start with U-238 and ends with Pb-206. There are several alpha and beta minus decays.
Antoine Henri Becquerel (1852 – 1908) was a French physicist and the first person to discover evidence of radioactivity.
Becquerel wrapped fluorescing crystal (uranium salt potassium uranyl sulfate) in a cloth, along with the photographic plate and a copper Maltese cross.
Several days later, he discovered that a image of the cross appeared on the plate.
The uranium salt was emitting radiation.
Because of this discovery, Becquerel won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903, which he shared with Marie Curie and Pierre Curie.
Answer:
Rain shadow
Explanation:
Climate is the average weather condition of a place over a long period of time.
The image shows a rain shadow effect around a mountainous region. The type of rainfall controlled this way is known as an orographic rainfall.
- On the leeward side which is the opposite side of where the rain cloud forms, there is dryness and lack of rainfall.
- As moist air rises along the edge of the windward side, cloud forms.
- This windward side receives a significant amount of rainfall
- The windward side is hit with cold and dry wind and it is barren.
Answer: X is a Solid; Y is a Gas
Explanation:
There are three (3) states of matter. They are: Solid, Liquid and Gases.
Substance X and Y, belong to the states of matter.
A Solid is a substance that retains its SIZE and SHAPE without need of a container (as opposed to a liquid or gas).
Thus, it will most likely be concluded that: substance X is a Solid; while Y is a Gas
