Emitting a positron (e+) means the atomic number of product nuclei decreased by one, with the same mass number.

Atomic number 20 is of Calcium, so 44Ca_{21-1}.

So, 44Ca₂₂

<h3>What is nuclear decay?</h3>

The process through which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy through radiation is known as radioactive decay, also known as nuclear decay, radioactivity, radioactive disintegration, or nuclear disintegration. A substance that has unstable nuclei is regarded as radioactive. Alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay are three of the most frequent kinds of decay, and they all entail the emission of one or more particles. Beta decay is governed by the weak force, whereas the nuclear force and electromagnetism are in charge of the other two. Electron capture is a fourth type of common decay in which an unstable nucleus seizes an inner electron from one of the electron shells.

Discrete X-rays are released from the transitions as a result of the loss of that electron from the shell, which causes a cascade of other electrons to fall into the lower shell. Iodine-125, which is frequently utilized in medical contexts, is an example.

How many SO2 molecules are in 1.76 mol of SO2? How many sulfur atoms and oxygen atoms are there?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1.76 * 6.02*10^23 = 1.05952*10^24

1.05952*2 = 2.11904 *10^24 oxygen and 1.05952*10^24 sulfur atoms

A flask contains 0.340 mol of liquid bromine, br2. determine the number of bromine molecules present in the flask.
marshall27 [118]
<span>Avogadro's number represents the number of units in one mole of any substance. This has the value of 6.022 x 10^23 units / mole. This number can be used to convert the number of atoms or molecules into number of moles. We calculate as follows:

0.340 mol Br2 ( </span>6.022 x 10^23 molecules / mol ) = 2.05 x 10^23 molecules

Atoms of two different elements react with each other when they have?
kipiarov [429]

All other elements react with other elements to form compounds. In the special case where the reaction produces fixed numbers of the same types of atoms in exactly the same configuration, we say the elements have formed a molecule.

What is amu of 99 % H-1, .2% H-1 and .8% H-3
ankoles [38]

The average atomic mass of your mixture is 1.03 u .

The average atomic mass of H is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.  

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).  

Thus,  

0.99    × 1.01 u = 0.998 u

0.002 × 2.01 u = 0.004 u

0.008 × 3.02 u = <u>0.024 u</u>

            TOTAL =  1.03   u
