What occurs during a decomposition reaction?

Biology
2 answers:
skad [1K]3 years ago

Answer & explanation:

The decomposition reaction occurs when a compound, by spontaneous (if unstable) or non-spontaneous (if stable) action, when chemically defragmented, generates two new products.

For example:

2AB (s)* → 2A (s) + 2B (g)*

*<em>s is for solid and g for gas</em>

This reaction shows a simple compound AB decomposing into two substances A and B.

What often occurs in decomposition reactions is the formation of a gas (g) and its release after the reaction, due to the fact that the compounds are formed by <u>electron</u>(e⁻) affinity, and gases are extremely electronegative.

What kind of atoms typically have unstable nuclei?
nikklg [1K]

B & D

Protons and neutrons are energy particles found in the nucleus of atoms.

Explanation:

The forces that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus are called strong nuclear forces. These forces are attractive over short distances and repulsive over long distances. This is why protons that are positively charged are held together in the nucleus  despite their repulsive tendencies. However, as the nucleus gets larger because of the larger number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, the distance with which the string nuclear forces are attractive is surpassed.

The binding energy in the nucleus will, therefore, be surpassed by the repulsive forces of strong nuclear forces over long distances causing the atomic nucleus to lose some neutrons.
