Which of the following represents beta decay

Chemistry
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The reaction representing beta decay is of option C:

 _{64}^{160}\textrm{Gd}\rightarrow _{65}^{160}\textrm{Tb}+_{-1}^0\e  

Explanation:

Beta-decay: In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

 _Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta  

 _{64}^{160}\textrm{Gd}\rightarrow _{65}^{160}\textrm{Tb}+_{-1}^0\e  

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Which of the following is the composition of an isotope of calcium (atomic number 20)?
ivolga24 [154]

20 protons

20 electrons ( as much elctrons as protons because there has to be same positive and negative to have a neutral atom)

And the number of neutrons depends of the mass number but in that case, I think that it's a Calcium atom (Ca) and so there are 20 netrons.

explain how energy changes from one form to another in a exothermic reaction. in an endothermic reaction.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Exothermic reaction: In exothermic reaction, energy is transferred to the surroundings, and the surrounding temperature increases, this is known as exothermic reaction. In other words energy exits in exothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Neutralisation reaction.

2) Combustion reaction.

3) Some oxidation reaction.

Endothermic reaction: In endothermic reaction, energy is taken in from the surrounding, and the surrounding temperature decreases, this is known as endothermic reaction. In other words energy enters in endothermic reaction. Some example of exothermic reactions are:

1) Thermal decomposition.

2) Reaction between citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate.

explain why conductors and insulators are both required to construct the electrical wiring in your home
NeTakaya
Conductors are required to transmit electricity to various parts of the home. These take the form of the copper in the wires. Insulators separate various electrical conduits from each other and external bodies, as well as protecting the conductors from the elements. These take the form of the plastic sheathing over the wires.
