<u>Answer:</u> The given decay process is beta decay.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Beta-decay is defined as the decay process in which a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units and has a mass of 0 units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The chemical reaction for converting carbon nucleus to nitrogen nucleus, the equation follows:

_6^{14}\textrm{C}\rightarrow _7^{14}\textrm{N}+_{-1}^0\beta

Thus, the given decay process is beta decay.

this is beta decay as the mass number stays the same but proton number changes, this is specifically beta minus as a neuron changes into a proton

All the following involve an increase in entropy except O most endothermic reactions O sublimation O vaporization O combustion
daser333 [38]

Answer:

most endothermic reactions

Explanation:

In endothermic reactions, the entropy of the environment decreases.

The entropy is the measure of the disorder of a specific system.

An endothermic reaction is every chemical reaction in which energy is absorbed.

In a comparison of an endodermic reaction in which energy is released in light or heat form.

How to find the number of neutrons in an isotope?
Alexeev081 [22]
Chemical properties of elements are primarily determined by the electrons but not by neutrons. Therefore, the isotopes of the same element have similar chemical behavior. (a) The atomic number is 17, so there are 17 protons and 17 electrons. The mass number is 35, so there are 18 (=35-17) neutrons. Hope this helps. :)
