Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.

Ok now the reaction.

 20       20        0
F  -> Ne    +     e
 9         10       -1

Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The second student is right.

Explanation:

The coyote feed on not only phalaropes but many other organisms present in the environment for its survival. There are many other organisms present in the ecosystem such as mice, squirrel, cactus fruit etc. The coyote feeds on phalaropes, the phalaropes feeds on brine shrimp and the brine shrimp feeds on algae for its survival so in this way the ecosystem moves in the forward direction. The coyote feeds on phalaropes so the energy that is present in phalaropes transferred into coyote which only 10 % while the remaining is released in the atmosphere in the form of heat energy.

an atmosphere is considered hazardous if it contains a hazardous gas in excess of 10 percent of the hazardous material's:
svlad2 [7]

Lower flammable limit means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.

What is hazardous atmosphere?

It is an atmosphere that may expose employees to risk of death, incapacitation, impairment of ability to self-rescue, injury, or acute illness from one or more of following causes

  • Flammable gas, vapor, or mist in excess of 10 percent of lower flammable limit (LFL)
  • Airborne combustible dust at concentration that meets or exceeds its LFL

What is lower flammable limit?

  • It means the lowest concentration of a material that will propagate a flame.
  • The LFL is usually expressed as percent by volume of material in air (or other oxidant)
  • Atmospheres with concentration of flammable vapors at or above 10 percent of lower explosive limit (LEL) are considered hazardous when located in confined spaces.
  • However, atmospheres with flammable vapors below 10 percent of LEL are not necessarily safe. Such atmospheres are too lean to burn
