Explanation:
Gamma rays are high-frequency electromagnetic waves emitted from the nucleus. They have very high penetration power and are used in cancer therapy.
Explanation:
Mendeleev arranged elements in order of increasing atomic mass, grouping those with similar properties. He left gaps for undiscovered elements. Modern table uses atomic number.
Explanation:
Washing soda (Na₂CO₃) reacts with Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions in hard water to form insoluble carbonates: Ca²⁺ + Na₂CO₃ → CaCO₃↓ + 2Na⁺. Similarly MgCO₃. These precipitates are removed, softening the water. Ion exchange uses zeolites or resins. Boiling removes only temporary hardness. Distillation is expensive.
