Answer:
placing the reactants on a hot plate
Explanation:
If the temperature goes up, the reaction rate will increase. Because the particle will move faster and makes the kinetic energy larger.
(2) gamma radiation, alpha particle, beta particle
(3) positron, alpha particle, neutron
(4) neutron, positron, alpha particle
Answer: Option (4) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
An alpha particle is basically a helium nucleus and it contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Symbol of an alpha particle is or .
This means that an alpha particle carries a +2 charge.
A positron is a small particle which contains a +1 charge. And, a positron is represent by the symbol .
A neutron is a sub-atomic particle present inside the nucleus of an atom. Charge on a neutron is 0.
A gamma particle is basically a photon of electromagnetic radiation with a short wavelength.
Symbol of a gamma particle is . Hence, charge on a gamma particle is also 0.
Therefore, we can conclude that group of nuclear emissions from neutron, positron, alpha particle is listed in order of increasing charge.
The group of nuclear emissions is listed in order of increasing charge is neutron, positron and alpha particle and the correct option is option 4.
Nuclear emissions refer to the particles and radiation that are emitted from the nucleus of an atom during a nuclear reaction or radioactive decay. These emissions include alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation, positrons, and neutrons.
Thus, the ideal selection is option 4.

Answer: The nucleus of radium-226 is unstable and hence undergoes decay.
Explanation: Radium has many isotopes. One of them is which has 88 protons and 138 neutrons. It is a radioactive isotope and undergoes decay process.
This isotope undergoes alpha - decay and produces Radon-222 isotope.
Equation for alpha - decay follows:
Hence, the nucleus of radium-226 undergoes decay process.
