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

Julli [10]

Answer: a) if a proton transforms to a neutron, a positron is produced

B) when an neutron transforms into a proton, an electron is produced

Explanation:

The both are nuclear decay processes which produce a neutrino and tremendous energy. The conversion of protons to neutrons is an energetically difficult process. However, the conversion of neutrons to electrons is commonly called beta decay in nuclear physics.

O The Arrhenius Model of acids and bases applies toward substances that are nonaqueous.O The Arrhenius Model of acids and bases
Alex

ANSWER

Option A

EXPLANATION

Arrhenius defines an acid as a substance that will produce hydrogen ions as the only positive ion when dissolved in water.

He also defines a base as a substance that contains a hydroxide ion (OH^-).

Hence, the Arrhenius Model of acids and bases applies that is applied to the aqueous solution.

The correct answer is option A
