lidiya [134]3 years ago
5 0
Alpha decay lowers the atomic number of an element. The correct option is B. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which is an helium particle. During this process, the atomic number of the nucleus is reduced by two and the mass number is reduced by 4.

Is this an example of decomposition<br> 2CH4 + 402 → 2C02 + 4H2O
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Identify each equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

Fe2O3 + 3 SO3 → Fe2(SO4)3

NaCl + AgNO3 → AgCl + NaNO3

(NH4)2Cr2O7 → Cr2O3 + 4 H2O + N2

Solution

In this equation, two substances combine to make a single substance. This is a composition reaction.

Two different substances react to make two new substances. This does not fit the definition of either a composition reaction or a decomposition reaction, so it is neither. In fact, you may recognize this as a double-replacement reaction.

A single substance reacts to make multiple substances. This is a decomposition reaction.

Test Yourself

Identify the equation as a composition reaction, a decomposition reaction, or neither.

C3H8 → C3H4 + 2 H2

Explanation:

I hope I help :)))
