Answer:

¹³₆C

Explanation:

The given nuclear reaction is:

¹⁰₅B + ₂⁴He → ᵃₙX + ₁¹H

In balancing nuclear reaction equation, the mass number which are the superscript and atomic number, the subscript on both sides of the equation must be the same.

For the mass number:

10 + 4 = a + 1

14 = a + 1

a = 13

For the atomic number:

5 + 2 = n + 1

7 = n + 1

n = 6

Note: n is the same as z from the equation

therefore our atom is ¹³₆X which is an isotope of carbon, ¹³₆C

Why does a raindrop accelerate as it falls to the earth?

allochka39001 [22]

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed. When a raindrop is falling down from the clouds due to gravity, the veloicty is pretty much fast, however air resistance comes in action and slows the droplet down... it gives it a constant speed until it hits the ground

What are the two different ions present in the compound al(no3)3?

Aleks [24]

$Al^{3+}$ and $NO_3^{-}$

Aluminum nitrate is an ionic compound, meaning that it is made up cations and anions. By convention when writing the formula for an ionic compounds the cation part shall be placed in front the anions. Thus the cation would contain aluminum and the anion shall be a polyatomic nitrate ion consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. The bracket with subscript 3 attached resembles the ratio between the two species, aluminum ions and nitrate ions. For each aluminum ion in the compound there shall be three corresponding nitrate ions.

Aluminum form ions of charge +3 whereas nitrate ions are of charge -1. Write the charge of the ion as the superscript in reverse (i.e., write $3+$ as in $Al^{3+}$ and $-$ in $NO_3^{-}$ , omitting any 1.)
