Answer:
С. form chains or rings by bonding to itself and other atoms.
Explanation:
Carbon is an element in group 4 of the periodic table with unique bonding properties. Carbon posseses 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. This enables carbon to form covalent bonds with the atoms of other elements e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, hydrogen etc.
Carbon can also combine covalently with other carbon atoms i.e. C-C to form long chains and rings in a process called CATENATION. This unique property of carbon makes it the only element that can form so many different compounds.
Answer:
76.1 amu
Explanation:
Let us recall that isomers refer to two different compounds with the same molecular formula but different atom to atom connectivity and different chemical properties. When two compounds are isomers, we can essentially represent them with exactly the same molecular formula.
Now propane-1,2-diol and propane-1,3-diol are both represented by the molecular formula C3H8O2 since they are isomers of each other. When two compounds have the same molecular formula, they must essentially have the same molecular mass. Hence the molecular mass of propane-1,3-diol is also 76.1 amu.
Explanation:
The emission of a beta particle is the result of the rearrangement of the unstable nucleus of the radioactive atom in order to acquire stability. For that, a phenomenon occurs in the nucleus, in which a neutron decomposes giving rise to three new particles: a proton, an electron (β particle), and a neutrino. The antineutrino and electron are emitted. The proton, however, remains in the nucleus.
The symbol is used to represent beta particles.
Answer: b. Beta
