What element breaks down into yttrium-90?

Chemistry
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is Strontium-90.

Strontium-90 breaks down into yttrium-90.

Strontium-90  is a radioactive isotope of strontium. It undergoes β− decay into yttrium-90. A decay energy of 0.546 MeV is also released.

⁹⁰₃₈Sr   -> ⁰₋₁e + ⁹⁰₃₉Yr

Beta particle has the charge and mass of an electron. Upon the release of a beta particle, the mass number of Sr remains unchanged but the atomic number of Sr increases by 1. As a result both Sr and Yt have mass number 90, however, Sr and Yt have atomic numbers 38 and 39 respectively.

Answer:  See below

Explanation:  a.  The mass of an element is composed of:

protons:     1 amu each

neutrons:   1 amu each

electrons:   0 amu each

Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element

b.  Electrons are assigned a mass of 0.  They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.

c.  An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.

Romashka [77]


Molecular data is more informative than morphology because this examines the DNA sequence and protein composition. This then provide a more comprehensive detail on what species are more related and distant with one another. .

NAME the four phases of matter and DESCRIBE how the intermolecular forces and kinetic energy change as you change phases.
weqwewe [10]

Answer: Substances on Earth can exist in one of four phases, but mostly, they exist in one of three: solid, liquid or gas. Learn the six changes of phase: freezing, melting, condensation, vaporization, sublimation and deposition. Intermolecular forces are forces between molecules that determine the physical properties of liquids and solids. 11.2 Vaporization and Vapor Pressure— vaporization is the conversion of a liquid to a gas (vapor), and the quantity of heat associated with this phase change is known as the enthalpy (heat) of vaporization. When kinetic energy is increasing molecules are simply moving faster. However, when the potential energy is increasing molecules are changing phases. Therefore, when the potential energy is increasing is when the molecule is changing phases. Phase changes require either the addition of heat energy (melting, evaporation, and sublimation) or subtraction of heat energy (condensation and freezing). ... Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change.

HOpe this helps..... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! :D
