Positrons are spontaneously emitted from the nuclei of

Chemistry

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

  • A positron is a small particle which contains a +1 charge and its mass is equal to the mass of an electron, that is, 9.109 \times 10^{-31} kg.

A positron is represent by the symbol ^{0}_{+1}\beta.

For example, ^{37}_{19}K \rightarrow ^{37}_{18}Ar + ^{0}_{+1}\beta

  • Whereas nitrogen-16 does not decay to give a positron because nitrogen-16 is the daughter isotope formed due to decay of oxygen-16.

The decay reaction is as follows.

           ^{16}_{8}O \rightarrow ^{16}_{7}N + ^{0}_{+1}\beta

  • And, on radioactive decay of thorium-232 there will be formation of radium-228 along with emission of an alpha particle.

The reaction will be as follows.

            ^{232}_{90}Th \rightarrow ^{228}_{88}Ra + ^{4}_{2}\alpha

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options positrons are spontaneously emitted from the nuclei of potassium-37.

"What makes a bond polar"?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter A.

Explanation:

A Covalent bond polar is between 2 non metals where one atom is bigger than the other one so the distribution of charges creates this polarity.

A. One atom attracts shared electrons more strongly than the other atom  This is the correct definition of bond polar, one element is bigger and stronger than the other element.

B. One atom has transferred its electrons completely to another atom  This definition is incorrect, it is the definition of ionic bonding.

C. A sea of electrons has been created between the elements  This definition is incorrect for the polar bond, it describes a metallic bonding.

D. Two atoms are sharing electrons with equal attraction This definition is incorrect for a polar bond, but is the correct definition for nonpolar bonding.

How many moles of electrons are required to reduce one mole of MnO4- to one mole of Mn2+? (2 points)
Dafna1 [17]
The answer would be 6 e-. This is becuase you are turning a charge of -4 into a +2. In order to do this, you transfer 4 electrons for a neutral charge, and an additional 2 for a charge of +2.

This makes a total charge of +2, and the total transferred electrons 6 e-
