Answer #1

given

1n0 + 226Ra88  AXZ +

Here A = 226+1 = 227 and Z = 0 + 88 = 88 [ is massless and chargeless]

Now AXZ or 227X88 undergoes - decay to form Y

227X88   ? 227Y89 + 0e-1 + 0v0

0v0 is a anti-nutrino.

Now  daughter nuclei 227Y89  undergoes - decay to form Y'

227Y89 227Y'90 + 0e-1 + 0v0

Atomic number of final nuclei Y' = 90

Neutron stars are one of the possible “final states” of a star. The idea is that for a sufficiently massive star, the gravitational pressure is enough to overcome the outward pressure (that comes from essentially the Pauli exclusion principle) that keeps fermions from coinciding with each other. Part A) According to quantum statistics, the OUTWARD pressure of a (neutron) fermionic gas is given by P=[(3.9?^2)/(2m)](N/V)^(5/3), where m is the mass of a neutron, and N/V is the number density of...

In the movie, The Avengers, Loki's scepter contained one of the six infinity stones - the Mind Stone. Although the Mind Stone appears blue while in the scepter, it actually emits light in the yellow part of the visible spectrum, as well as low-energy gamma rays. It was these gamma rays that allowed Dr. Banner to track Loki back to New York City, where the movie?s epic final battle took place. Presumably, the Mind Stone was formed at the beginning...
