Identify the arrows that show removal of thermal energy when matter changes state.
1 answer:
When matter loses heat, one of the following happens:
Liquid changes to solid (freezing), or
Gas changes to liquid (condensation), or
Gas changes to solid (deposition)
1- Freezing: when the temperature of a liquid matter drops below its freezing point, the liquid usually solidifies forming crystals. Example of this is when water changes to ice
2- Condensation: when the temperature of gas is reduced, the molecules slow down and come together changing the matter into liquid. Example of this is when water vapor condenses into water droplets.
3- Deposition: Sometimes when the temperature of a gas drops, it solidifies directly without passing through the liquid phase. An example of this is when water vapor changes directly to ice in sub-freezing areas without passing through the liquid phase. This is the process through which clouds are formed.
The diagram below shows these three changes in matter.

Answer:
Explanation:
In this question, we wish to find the missing nuclei for the equation:
In order to find the missing species, we need to use the charge and mass balance law. That is, the mass should be conserved: the total mass on the left-hand side with respect to the arrow should be equal to the total mass on the right-hand side with respect to the arrow:
Notice from here that:
So far we know that the mass of X is 4. Similarly, we apply the law of charge conservation. The total charge should be conserved:
From here:
We have a particle:
Looking at the periodic table, an atom with Z = 2 corresponds to helium. This can also be written as an alpha particle:
