Radioactive decay is a spontaneous process in which unstable nuclei emit radioactive particles and energy. Fission occurs as the result of high-energy bombardment of nuclei that cause them to break into smaller nuclei, radioactive particles, and energy. All fission events are not the same. The nuclei split in a number of ways to produce several different products.

<h3>What is Radioactive?</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 a result of the weak force, while the nuclear force and electromagnetism are in charge of the other two mechanisms. The capture of an inner electron from one of the electron shells by an unstable nucleus is the fourth prevalent form of decay. A series of electrons drop as a result of that electron being lost from the shell.

A scientist finds that one volume of an unknown gas X combines with two volumes of another gas Y to form two volumes of a new ga
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Gas X

Explanation:

The given reaction can be written in the form of chemical equation as shown below as:

X+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2

According to law of conservation of mass, the moles of each substance in the reaction must be equal on both reactant and product side.

Also, the question asks for the gas which is diatomic. XY_2 cannot be diatomic as the formula contains 3 atoms.

Between gas X and gas Y , <u>X has to be diatomic for the reaction to balance </u>as:

X_2+2Y\rightarrow 2XY_2
