Can baking soda be substituted for borax in candle wicks?
No, baking soda decomposes when heated to produce carbon dioxide which will extinguish the flame.
What subatomic particle produces light?
Electrons can produce light when they are "excited," and jump outside their ground state, then hop back, releasing a photon of light.
What does the world's largest particle accelerator hope to accomplish?
The world's largest particle accelerator is used to accelerate particles to extremely high energies at which they can undergo collisions which, it is hoped, will produce previously unseen kinds of results which will shed light on currently mysterious or unanswered questions about particle physics, thereby increasing human knowledge and our understanding of the way the universe works on a very deep, fundamental level.
Do they capture those smaller subatomic particles observed in particle accelerator experiments?
The particle accelerator does produce hundreds of particle in each experiment but only 2 or 3 particles are captured depending on the predicted results. After the 2 subatomic particles are collapsed a huge field of various subatomic particles are formed. If we assume that the experiment is being conducted for the study of the Higg's Boson particle then the setup is created in a way so that only the required particle is captured and studied. In fewer words only those particles are captured which is needed to be studied. One thing to be clear on here: by "captured", we really mean "observed"; the data is what's captured, not the actual particle (many of which have extremely short lifetimes and can't actually be "captured" in the sense of "oh yeah, we put it in a bottle on the shelf" anyway). Also, it may be a good idea to get all the data your particular experimental setup is capable of obtaining, because negative results are still results. Say particle X (which is what you're looking for) is expected to generate tracks in detectors A and C, but not in B. Obviously you want to look at the results from A and C, but you should also look at B, because if you see results there too, that tells you that either you're mistaken about the properties of particle X or the particle you observed wasn't actually X.
How much radiation is received from a ct scan?
I have heard the radiation from a CT scan is the same as 700 chest X-Rays. No level of radiation was given. If this is true do you think the people that make the CT scanners want you to know this?
222Rn emits a beta particle to produce what element?
radiation
Why does alpha radiation produce the greatest change in mass number?
An alpha particle consists of 2 neutrons and 2 protons which are lost from the nucleus of the decaying particle so the mass of those particles is lost.
When sodium Bicarbonate decomposes it produce sodium carbonate and what else?
Sodium bicarbonate decomposes into sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water.
Does a fluorescent lamp produce light as a wave or as a particle?
It depends on how one sees the circumstances, If we say in ordinary situations yes light of a fluorescent lamp is a wave but if subjected for example to stimulated emission,then light acts as a particle.For more info, see the definition of particle wave duality of light.
Give the names and formulas of two acids that decompose to form gases?
Carbonic acid (H2CO3) decomposes to produce water and carbon dioxide. Sulfurous acid (H2SO3) decomposes to produce water and sulfur dioxide.
Who was the first to produce artificial radiation?
Marie Curie initiated the research on radiation.
How do radiation produce?
How do radiations produce heat?
What are three kinds of radioactivity?
The three major types of radioactivity are: # Alpha Radiation Alpha radiation consists of a stream of positively charged particles, called alpha particles, which have an atomic mass of 4 and a charge of +2 (a helium nucleus). When an alpha particle is ejected from a nucleus, the mass number of the nucleus decreases by four units and the atomic number decreases by two units. For example: 23892U -> 42He + 23490Th The helium nucleus is the alpha particle. # Beta Radiation Beta radiation is a stream of electrons, called beta particles. When a beta particle is ejected, a neutron in the nucleus is converted to a proton, so the mass number of the nucleus is unchanged, but the atomic number increases by one unit. For example: 23490 -> 0-1e + 23491Pa The electron is the beta particle. # Gamma Radiation Gamma rays are high-energy photons with a very short wavelength (0.0005 to 0.1 nm). The emission of gamma radiation results from an energy change within the atomic nucleus. Gamma emission changes neither the atomic number nor the atomic mass. Alpha and beta emission are often accompanied by gamma emission, as an excited nucleus drops to a lower and more stable energy state. Alpha, beta, and gamma radiation also accompany induced radioactivity. Radioactive isotopes are prepared in the lab using bombardment reactions to convert a stable nucleus into one which is radioactive. Positron (particle with the same mass as an electron, but a charge of +1 instead of -1) emission isn't observed in natural radioactivity, but it is a common mode of decay in induced radioactivity. Bombardment reactions can be used to produce very heavy elements, including many which don't occur in nature.Submitted by kuasimodo
When a binary compound decomposes it creates what?
The only possibility is to produce its two constituent elements.
After undergoing alpha decay an atom of radium -226 becomes?
Radium 226 decays by alpha emission to Radon 222. A helium nucleus is emitted by alpha emission which makes the mass reduce by 4 and its atomic number by 2.
What is the chemical formula for hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce oxygen and water?
2H2O22H2O + O2(g)
How does a charged particle produce an em wave?
An EM is produced by the vibration of an electrically charged particle
