Answer:

An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms.

Which statement describes heterogeneous mixtures?

Artemon [7]

The righ answer is the option A. They are made up of two or more pure substances that are not chemically bonded. A classicall expample ot heterogeneous mixtures are sugar and salt. Sugar is a pure substance, salt is also a pure substance, when you mixe them you form mixture where salt is still salt and sugar is still sugar, that is what "they are not chemically bonded" means. So you can separate them by physical media.

Suppose a helium-3 nuclide transforms into a helium-4 nuclide by absorbing a proton and emitting a positron. Complete the nuclea

saw5 [17]

Answer: The nuclear equation for the conversion of He-3 nuclide to He-4 nuclide is given above.

Explanation:

Nuclear reaction are defined as the reactions in which nucleus of an atom is involved.

Positron emission is defined as the emission process in which positron particle is emitted. In this process, a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino particle.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0e$

The chemical equation for the reaction of He-3 with a proton follows:

$_2^3\textrm{He}+_1^1\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_{+1}^0e$

Hence, the nuclear equation for the conversion of He-3 nuclide to He-4 nuclide is given above.
