Explanation:
The emission of a beta particle is the result of the rearrangement of the unstable nucleus of the radioactive atom in order to acquire stability. For that, a phenomenon occurs in the nucleus, in which a neutron decomposes giving rise to three new particles: a proton, an electron (β particle), and a neutrino. The antineutrino and electron are emitted. The proton, however, remains in the nucleus.
The symbol is used to represent beta particles.
Answer: b. Beta
Since both atoms are the same and are both nonmetals, they would form a Nonpolar covalent bond. This bond occurs when usually atoms of the same element or atoms of propriety electronegativity differences are sharing electrons to form bonds. There is an equal sharing of valence electrons in this chemical bond.
Answer:
<u></u>
Explanation:
The balanced chemical reaction to obtain water from SnO₂ is:
The mole ratio is:

Find the number of moles equivalent to 1.20× 10²¹ molecules of water, using Avogadro's number:

From the mole ratio, the number of moles of SnO₂ are half the number of moles of water. That is:
- 0.0019927 moles / 2 = 0.00099635 moles of SnO₂
Use the molar mass of SnO₂ to convert the number of moles to grams:
- molar mass of SnO₂ = 150.71g/mol
- mass of SnO₂ = 0.00099635mol × 150.71 g/mol = 0.150 grams.
The answer must be reported with 3 significant figures.
