This is for a study guide for my semester final, and I have no clue how to answer this, please help, and please at least try to

help!
Besides the major types of radioactive decay, there are two others: positron emission and electron capture.
• Compare and contrast positrons with electrons.
• Explain how positron emission works and how it causes transmutations.
• Explain how electron capture works and how it causes transmutations.
• Compare the transmutations caused by positron emissions and electron capture.

Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.

eg:

Positron = e+

Neutrino=ve

O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve

Electron capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron

eg:

Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve

Electron capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion two particles with the positron emission mechanism.

Which is the Lewis structure for H3PO4?
Fed [463]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct structure of phosphoric acid is A.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • P should form five covalent bonds. In this strcuture P form three single bond with 3-hydroxyl groups while one single bondformed with oxygen. As oxygen will form two bonds , it carry negative charge, while P should form five bond but here it is forming 4 bonds due to this P has positive charge but overall structure contain neutral charge due to cancellation of positive and negative charges. Beside this, there are 3 H,  Four O and One P according to formula H3PO4.

True or false: plants, animals, and the environment are not dependent on each other for the use of carbon and oxygen.
Reil [10]
False; animals breathe in oxygen and they produce carbon dioxide when they breathe out, and plants breathe in that carbon dioxide that the animals produce, and with that the plants create oxygen

They basically just swap oxygen for CO2, or CO2 for oxygen! So the answer is false because they DO depend on each other for the use of Oxygen and Carbon dioxide! Hope this helped :)
