Answer:

Geiger counter and scintillation counter

Explanation:

The Geiger counter was invented by Hans Geiger in 1908 to measure the levels of radiation in bodies and the environment, so it is one of the indispensable equipment for the inspector to detect radiation leaks in a nuclear power plant. It contains a tube with argon, which ionizes by being crossed by alpha and beta particles of radiation, closing the electric circuit and triggering the counter.

Similarly, a scintillation detector is an apparatus used to detect ionizing radiation. When something in the environment has been reached by radiation, this detector emits a small ray of light, indicating the radiation contamination.

Natali [406]

Answer: option C. 2 and 3.

Explanation:

1) Isotopes are atoms of a same element with different number of neutrons. That means that the isotopes of a same element have the same number of protons, since the number of protons is what identify an element.

2) For example, all the atoms of oxygen have 8 protons. But isotope oxygen-16 has 8 neutrons, while oxygen-18 has 10 neutrons.

3) In the figure there are 3 different atoms:

i) atom # 1 has 5 protons and 7 neutrons

ii) atom # 2 has 6 protons and 7 neutrons

iii) atom # 3 has 6 protons and 8 neutrons.

4) Hence the atoms with the same number of protons and different number of neutrons are the #2 and the # 3. So, they are the isotopes of the same element.

mina [271]

Answer:

Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Explanation:

Given;

Rydberg constant as  3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant = 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hz

1 Rydberg constant  = 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

Therefore, Rydberg constant 3.3 x 10¹⁵ Hertz is equal to 1.090 x 10⁷ m⁻¹

What is the name of the functional group that is attached to this hydrocarbon? The first and last of a chain of three carbons ar
disa [49]

Answer:

Ketone

Explanation:

As you are stating here, we have a carbonated chain of three carbons, and the first and last has 3 Hydrogens, then this means that we have CH₃ . The center carbon is a carbon double bonded to oxygen.

In general terms this belongs to the carbonyl group. However, this alone does not represent a functional group, but when it's in a chain with other radycals or chains, it becomes a functional group.

In this case, the molecule you are talking here is the following:

CH₃ - CO - CH₃

This molecule is known as the Acetone, and has the general form of:

R - CO - R'

Which belongs to a ketone as a functional group.
