They can decay through one of three ways:
alpha decay
beta decay and
gamma decay
ALPHA- particle with two neutrons and two protons is ejected from the nucleus of the radioactive atom. this particle released is called an alpha particle. Only occurs with heavy metals.
BETA- pretty much when a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vise versa. in a beta minus decay, the nuetron decays into a proton and in a beta plus decay, a proton decays into a neutron
GAMMA- the nucleus changes from a high energy state to a low energy state by releasing electromagnetic radiation (photons). the number of protons and neutrons stay the same during this reaction therefore the element is still the same.
Answer is (2) - hydrogen carbonate
<em>Explanation:</em>
NaHCO₃ is an ionic compound which is made from Na⁺ and HCO₃⁻ ions. The decomposition is
NaHCO₃ → Na⁺ + HCO₃⁻
Among the resulted ions, Na⁺ is a monatomic ion while HCO₃⁻ is a polyatomic ion.
<em>Polyatomic ions mean ions which are made of two or more different atoms.</em>
HCO₃⁻ is made from 3 atoms as H, C and O. The name of HCO₃⁻ ion is bicarbonate or hydrogen carbonate.
Convection is when cool air sinks and warm air rises. i am not 100% sure though
Answer:
In a voltaic cell (one that happens spontaneously), electrons flow from a negative electrode to a positive electrode (anode cathode). The reaction that happens is a redox reaction where the anode is oxidized (goes from a solid to an ion) and the cathode is reduced (going from an ion to a solid).
