Positrons are spontaneously emitted from the nuclei of

Chemistry
2 answers:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago

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.

How many elements and atoms are in marble
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists know that there are 6x1023 molecules in a mole - so we have about 0.5x1023 molecules in our marble…and since every silicon dioxide molecule has one atom of silicon and two of oxygen, we have a grand total of 1.5x1023 atoms. That's 150,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms
