What else can I help you with?
Why is water and hydrogen peroxide different even though they are made of the same types of atoms?
hydrogen has two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms and water has one hydrogen and one oxygen atoms
What is hotter than the sun gamma ray or plasma?
Gamma rays are typically hotter than plasma. Gamma rays are high-energy electromagnetic radiation, while plasma is a state of matter where atoms have been stripped of their electrons. Gamma rays can have temperatures reaching billions of degrees, while plasma temperatures are typically in the millions of degrees.
What do element and mixture have in common?
The commonalities that elements, compounds, and mixtures all have in common is that they all contain atoms. Even though they all contain atoms, the number of atoms vary in each of them.
Is it possible for a Faraday cage to interdict a gamma pulse?
No. At least, I don't think it's reasonable to assume that. The reason it won't work is that, while a gamma ray is still an electromagnetic wave (just like a radio wave is), the wavelength of a gamma ray pulse is extremely short compared to the grid size of a Faraday cage, or even of the individual atoms.
Which type of radiation-alpha beta or gamma- is most dangerous to living things?
Ionizing radiation can be dangerous to living things, as it upsets the chemistry in living cells by breaking covalent bonds between atoms. Even if the radiation is not ionizing, such as in neutron flux, damage can be done there as well, due to activation processes that change the chemical identity of atoms.
Is Tyvek a gamma radiation blocker?
No, Tyvek is not a good gamma ray blocker. We know that Tyvek is HDPE (high-density polyethylene), and KDPE is a hydrocarbon. Even though it is "high density" material, it is only high density compared to other poly plastics. The best gamma ray blockers are materials with high mass. Atoms with high atomic numbers and high density are the ones we need to block gamma rays. Carbon and hydrogen don't fit the bill. Tyvek is a poor choice for gamma ray shielding. What is a good choice for gamma ray shielding? We might choose lead 'cause it's cheap and easy to use as well as a good gamma blocker. Certainly concrete and dirt work fairly well as we can get a lot of that stuff together to provide gamma shielding.
What decay has no particle associated with it?
All nuclear decay has some kind of particle or particles associated with it. Even the metastable decay of 4399Tcm, a gamma at 142.7 Kev, is considered to be a particle emission, because a gamma is a photon, and a photon is an elementary particle, per our understanding of modern quantum mechanics and particle physics, even though it has no mass at rest state.
Why do atom have no electric charge even though most of their particles have charge?
Non ionic atoms have no electric charge, even though most of their particles have charge, because the positive particles (protons) balance the negative particles (electrons).
Why do atom have no electric charge even though most of their particles have charges?
Non ionic atoms have no electric charge, even though most of their particles have charge, because the positive particles (protons) balance the negative particles (electrons).
Is oxygen an ionic compound?
No. Oxygen (O2) even if it breaks up into two Oxygen atoms is not ionic. It Is A Covalent Molecule Though.
Why do atoms have no electric charge even though most Of their particle have charges?
The negative particles (electrons) are balanced by the positive particles (protons).
Is chalk a substance or mixture?
It's a pure substance because even though the atoms are different they still the same. If that makes sense?
