Radon-219 decays to radon-218 by releasing... a. a positron b.a muon O c. a neutron O d. an electron O e. a proton

Chemistry
1 answer:
MrRa [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A positron is denoted as ^{0}_{+1}e, a neutron is denoted as ^{1}_{0}n, an electron is denoted as ^{0}_{-1}e, and a proton is denoted as ^{1}_{1}p.

Therefore, when ^{219}Rn will decay into ^{218}Rn this means there occurs decrease in its mass number. Hence, it means a neutron will be releasing during this reaction.

The reaction will be as follows.

                ^{219}Rn \rightarrow ^{218}Rn + ^{1}_{0}n

Which of the following have the most similar properties?
rjkz [21]

Answer:

             Option-B (Carbon and Silicon)

Explanation:

                  Among the given pairs only carbon and silicon have the most similar properties. This is because,

Sodium and Magnesium belong to different groups. Sodium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Magnesium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     NaCl

                                           Mg  +  Cl₂    →    MgCl₂

As shown in reactions when Sodium and Magnesium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

Carbon and Silicon show almost same properties because both belong to Group IV hence both are capable of forming four bonds. Also, they share the same property of self linkage in making a long chains.

Argon and Chlorine also belong to two different groups. Argon is present in Group VIII (Noble Gases) and Chlorine is present in Group VII (Halogens). Hence, Argon is an inert specie which is non reactive while Chlorine gives different reaction easily.

Potassium and Calcium belong to different groups. Potassium present in Group I has one electron in its valence shell and capable of transferring only one electron while, Calcium present in Group II have two electrons in its valence shell and is capable of donating two electrons. Hence, both show different properties.

Example:

                                           2 K  +  Cl₂    →     KCl

                                           Ca  +  Cl₂    →    CaCl₂

As shown in reactions when Potassium and Calcium are treated with Cl₂ they give a products with different proportions.

How does 2 Na (s) + Cl2 (g) = NaCl (s) represent the coefficient in the chemical equation
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The 2 would be placed in front of the reactant Na and in front of the product NaCl

2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

Explanation:

This is because the ratio of elements needs to be balanced on both sides.

On the reactants side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

On the products side, there are 2 Na molecules and 2 Cl molecules

So, now the equation is balanced
