Explanation:

Elements of group 1A are known as alkali metals. Elements of this group are lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium.

All these elements are metals and every element of this group has 1 valence electron. So, in order to attain stability they will readily lose their valence electron.

Hence, elements of group 1A are very reactive.

On the other hand, elements of group 7A are also known as halogen group. Elements of this group are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine.

All these elements are non-metals and every element of this group has 7 valence electrons. So, in order to completely fill their octet these elements gain 1 electron from a donor atom.

Therefore, these elements are alo reactive in nature.

But the major difference between elements of group 1A and group 7A is that elements of group 1A are metals but elements of group 7A are non-metals.

The radioactive atom R 88 210 a is an alpha emitter. What nucleus does it produce?

olasank [31]

Answer:

X 86 206

Explanation:

Radioactive atoms are nuclei that can under go disintegration to emit either an alpha particle, beta particle or gamma radiation. The process could be spontaneous or stimulated.

When a radioactive atom R 88 210 emits alpha particle, it would produce an element with atomic number 86 and mass number 206 i.e X 86 206. An alpha particle is usually a helium nucleus.

$R^{210}$ ⇒ $x^{206}$ + $He^{4}$ + energy

The law of conservation of mass is applicable to

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

The law of conservation of mass is useful for a number of calculations and can be used to solve for unknown masses, such the amount of gas consumed or produced during a reaction.

It is applicable in a chemical when the the mass of the products in a chemical reaction is equal to the mass of the reactants.

But it is not applicable in a nuclear fusion as some of the mass is generated as energy.
