The nuclei of atoms become unstable when the repelling forces of the protons cannot be balanced by the number of neutrons in the nucleus. It then re-arranges itself randomly to a more stable configuration by emitting any of a series of particles. During radioactive decay, an atom does not collapse.
Since an atom is mostly empty space - that is it’s nucleus is relatively distant from the electron shells so, in the presence of extreme forces such as gravity inthe collapse of a large star, the inward pressures on the atom overcome the natural balance of the atomic structure and the ‘empty space’ disappears as nuclei are mashed together by the intense pressures and a neutron star is formed. Under even more external pressure, even the neutron star can collapse to form a black hole.
Answer:
1. 
molecules of CO₂
2. 10⁴ molecules of H₂O
3. 8.75×10³² molecules of C₆H₁₂O₆
Explanation:
1. molecules of CO₂
2. 10⁴ molecules of H₂O
3. 8.75×10³² molecules of C₆H₁₂O₆
1. The reaction is exothermic.
2. I know this because the delta H is a negative number. (-802.4 kJ)
3. This means that this reaction releases heat.
Answer:
acids
Explanation:
HNO3 is a strong acid (Nitric Acid)
CH3COOH is a weak acid (Acetic Acid
Answer:
Explanation:
1. Calculate the work
w = - pΔV = -4.3 atm × (43 L - 20 L) = -4.3 × 23 L·atm = -98.9 L·atm
2. Convert litre-atmospheres to joules
The negative sign indicates that the work was done against the surroundings.
