Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Unstable isotopes are defined as the isotopes which have excess of neutrons as compared to the stable form of the nucleus of an atom.

These isotopes attain stability by undergoing a spontaneous nuclear decay. The isotopes which are unstable have another name and are known as radioactive isotopes or radioisotopes.

These isotopes undergoes decay by 4 processes: Alpha decay, beta decay, gamma emission and positron decay.

Hence, the correct answer is option D.

X2o3 express you answer as a whole number

kobusy [5.1K]

2.40 - 1.68 =0.72 g of oxigen
moles = 0.72/16 g/mol=0.045

moles x = 1.68/ 55.9=0.03

0.03/0.03 = 1 = x
0.045 / 0.03 = 1.5 = O

to get whole numbers multiply by 2

x2O3

X2O3 +3 CO = 2 X + 3 CO2

How many neon atoms are contained in (7.27x10^2) grams of neon?

statuscvo [17]

Answer: 2.19x10^25 atoms

Explanation:

Molar Mass of Neon = 20g/mol

1mole(20g) of Neon contains 6.02x10^23 atoms.

Therefore, 7.27x10^2g of Neon will contain x atoms i.e

X atoms = (7.27x10^2x6.02x10^23)/20 = 2.19x10^25 atoms
