Answer:
A beta particle
Explanation:
The radioactive particle must undergo a beta decay to have the mass number unchanged but the atomic number to have decreased by one.
This type of beta decay results in the emission of a positron which is a type of beta particle. It resembles an electron but it has a positive charge of 1.
One separation technique to be used is the paper chromatography. This works by separating the components of the mixture through the difference of their concentrations. There is a stationary phase and the mobile phase, which flows through the stationary phase. The components travel at different rates and is usually signified by the colors. If more than one color would appear, that means that the dye is a mixture.
Answer:
a. N₂(g) + O₂(g) → 2 NO(g)
b. 2 HgO(s) → 2 Hg(l) + O₂(g)
c. 4 Fe(s) + 3 O₂(g) → 2 Fe₂O₃(s)
d. 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 NaCl(s)
e. 2 Cu₂O(s) + O₂(g) → 4 CuO(s)
Hope this helps.
Answer:
The numbers, positive, negative signs and the symbol of elements are used to represent the ions.
Explanation:
Steps to write the ions:
- Write the symbol of an element. For example in case of magnesium we would write Mg.
- In second step write the number of electrons in superscript that are lost or gained by an atom. For example magnesium atom loses two electrons written as followed, Mg².
- In third step write the charge as superscript after the numbers. For example, magnesium loses two electrons that's why we put the positive sign after 2, because by losing the electrons cations are formed. Mg²⁺
- If the atom of an element lose or gain only one electron then 1 is omitted and only the negative or positive sign are written on superscript. For example in case of sodium cation and chlorine anion, Na⁺ , Cl⁻.
