Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.
Answer: As temperature increases, the number of collisions increases and the energy of the collisions increases.
Explanation:
According to collision theory, for a reaction to take place it is necessary to have collisions between the reacting species or atoms.
A collision will only be effective if species coming together have a certain minimum value of internal energy equal to the activation energy of the reaction.
More is the number of collisions taking place in a chemical reaction more will be the kinetic energy of its molecules. As kinetic energy is the energy acquired due to motion of atoms or a substance.
Also, collisions increases with increase in temperature as:
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature. So, more is the temperature more will be energy of molecules.
Thus, we can conclude that as temperature increases, the number of collisions increases and the energy of the collisions increases.
Answer:
This question is incomplete but the completed question is in the attachment below. And the correct is b
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity can be defined as the amount of heat required to raise to raise 1 kg of a substance by 1 kelvin. Thus, this means that when the specific heat capacity of a substance is high, it takes more energy to increase the temperature of that substance. This also means that when different substances are subjected to the same amount of heat, the substance with the higher specific heat capacity will absorb less heat; for example at a beach, water has a very high specific heat capacity, thus when the sand in the beach is hot, the beach water is still relatively cold.
From the description above, <u>it can be seen that the metal with the least specific capacity will absorb the greatest amount of heat, thus the metal is lead</u> with the specific heat capacity of 0.129 J/(g. °C).
