<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>
a. the strong nuclear force is much greater than the electric force.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>For an atom to be stable it means it has enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus together permanently. </u></em>
- Therefore, <em><u>an unstable atom lacks enough amount of binding energy to hold its nucleus permanently and thus undergoes decay to achieve stability. Unstable atoms are therefore referred to being radioactive.</u></em>
-
Small atoms are stable; <u>this is because they have equal number of protons and neutrons and thus the protons and neutrons fill up energy levels while maximizing the strong force binding the nucleus together. </u>
<h3>9.<u> Answer;</u></h3>
b. change into a different element altogether.
Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay. Therefore, uranium-238 will <em><u>change into a different element altogether</u></em>.
<h3><u>
Explanation;</u></h3>
- Unstable atoms undergo radioactive decay in order to achieve stability of their nucleus.
- <em><u>Uranium-238 is an example of such atom, which may undergo decay to achieve stability.</u></em>
- <em><u>Alpha decay is one of the types of decays,</u></em> others being beta decay and gamma decay. <em><u>In alpha decay the radioactive isotope undergoes decay such that its mass number is decreased by four and its atomic number is decreased by two.</u></em>
-
Therefore, <em><u>Uranium-238 undergoes alpha decay to form a different element whose mass number is 234 and atomic number is 90, known as thorium-234. </u></em>
Crystallization is: A chemical of solid - liquid separation technique, in which mass transfers a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs. In chemical engineering crystallization occurs in a crystallizer.

Chemical compounds have chemically bonded molecules so that they exhibit different properties (i.e. chemical) compared to the individual molecules comprising the compound. Mixtures are simply the combinations of different molecules and compounds that are not chemically bonded together, and can therefore be separated by physical means. Mixtures usually retain the properties of its components. The hydrogen and oxygen molecules in a mixture do not form strong bonds between each other. The molecules of both gases are only contained in the same space or volume and the individual molecules retain their chemical properties.
A compound containing hydrogen and oxygen molecules exhibit different chemical (and even physical) properties compared to the individual molecules themselves.
Water for example, is a compound with 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom, chemically-bonded together. Hydrogen gas is highly flammable, water is not. Oxygen gas is an essential reagent for combustion (or burning) reactions, water is not.
Thus, throwing a lighted match to a gaseous mixture of hydrogen
and oxygen
would create fire, or even an explosion (since hydrogen is flammable and oxygen feeds the reaction). Throwing a match to water vapor
would not create fire.
Most of the energy travels trough the water
