When a radioactive isotope decays into a nucleus which is also unstable and undergoes decay, and this process is repeated several times, the succession of reactions is called
a. fission reaction.
b. decay series.
c. half-life.
d. fusion reaction.
e. none of these

Decay series

Explanation:

A succession of radioactive decay is termed decay series. The radios decay of an unstable nuclei usually continues until a stable isotope is reached. This continuous decay of radioactive isotopes is also known as a radioactive cascade.

It is important to note that most radioisotopes do not decay directly to form a stable nuclei. Instead, they undergo a series of decay until a stable isotope is formed. An example of a decay series can be seen in the decay of uranium-238 to uranium-234.

U-238 is more radioactive than U-234. U-238 first undergoes an alpha particle decay to form thorium 234. This is known as the daughter nuclei. Afterwards, thorium 234 undergoes decay to give protactinium 234. This then undergoes a beta negative decay to form the uranium 234 nuclei.

the correct name for the n3 ion is azide. azide is a polyatomic anion with a -1 charge and is written as n3 -1. it consists of three nitrogen atoms bonded together. hope i . let me know if you need anything else.

hydrocarbons are organic compounds that contain only hydrogens and carbons. they can be saturated (those which contain only carbon-carbon single bonds) or unsaturated (those which contain carbon-carbon double or triple bonds) in nature. hydrocarbons can undergo several reactions like substitution, elimination etc.  

on substituting one or more hydrogen atoms in hydrocarbon it results in the formation of haloalkane. as the halogen atoms are large compared to the carbon and hydrogen atoms, due to which the molecular weight increases and the bond become polar because of presence electronegative halogen atom and results in the increase in boiling point of the haloalkane.

thus, the correct option is (b) that is the boiling point of the new compound increases on substituting a hydrogen atom with a halogen in a hydrocarbon.
