Answer is "C"

alpha decay is an emission of ₂⁴He nucleus. If an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass of the daughter nucleus formed is reduced by 4 compared to mass of parent atom and atomic number is reduced by 2 compared to atomic number of parent atom.

What element is this? How do you know? (Page 495 and Periodic Table Pages 500-501)
vfiekz [6]

Helium (He)

Explanation:

In the picture we see the following elementary particles:

2 electrons - the two spheres with negative charge which orbit around the nucleus

2 protons - the two spheres with positive charge in the nucleus

2 neutrons - the two spheres with no charge in the nucleus

The element will be Helium (He), because it have the atomic number 2 and the mass number 4, which means it contains 2 electrons, 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g). What mass of water is produced from the complete combustion of 5.00×10−3 g of methane?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

1gram of water

Explanation:

First balance the equation

Ch4+2O2>CO2+2H2O

Ratio is 1:2

500×10-3what about 2?

500×10-3×2=1g

1g of water

Why dont we include the mass of an atoms electrons in the atomic mass?
Oxana [17]
<span>Because protons and neutrons are so much more massive than electrons, almost all of the atomic mass in any atom comes from the nucleus, which contains all of the neutrons and protons.</span>
