Answer:

Explanation:

a. What is the mass number of the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β–) decay?

zero

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

b. What kind of charge does the particle emitted from the nucleus during beta minus (β–) decay have?

Negative charge

Electron is emitted during beta decay and it carry negative charge.

c. What is another name for a beta minus (β–) particle?

Electron

During beta minus decay electron is emitted and neutron is converted into proton.

d. Write the balanced equation for the alpha decay that is below the “Show Equation.” Label the parent, daughter, and beta particle.

Equation is missing

a. What happens in the nucleus of an atom when an alpha particle is emitted?

When atom undergoes the alpha emission the original atom convert into the atom having mass number less than 4 and atomic number less than 2 as compared to the starting atom.

b. b. What happens in the nucleus of an atom when a beta particle is emitted?

When nucleus emit the beta particle neutron is converted into proton and this proton stay into the nucleus while at the same time electron is emitted. Thus atomic number is increased by one.

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

Which of the following is an acceptable IUPAC name?(A) 3,6-dimethylheptane (B) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane (C) 5-methyl-3-ethylhepta

Answer:

D) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

Explanation:

The rules for naming of alkanes with substituents.

1. The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain.

2.Numbering should be done in such a way that each substituent gets the least number.

3. Substituents whose name comes before the another substituents's name in the English alphabet is written first.

4. Substituents are written first with their location in the chain and the name of the parent chain is done. Numbers are separated from numbers by comma and numbers are separated from letters by using hyphen.

Considering (a) 3,6-dimethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 2 mentioned above

The numbering of the parent chain is not done in a right way. Numbering must be done such that each substituent gets the least number. So, The correct name is 2,5-dimethylheptane

Considering (b) 2-ethyl-3-methylheptane

Violation of Rule - 1 mentioned above.

The carbon chain with the maximum number of carbon atoms must be selected as a parent chain. The parent chain selected is of 7 carbon atoms but the parent chain is of 8 carbon atoms. So, The correct name is 3,4-dimethyloctane

Considering (c) 5-methyl-3-ethylheptane

Violation of Rule - 3 mentioned above.

'e' comes before 'm' . So, ethyl- is written first than methyl- . So, The correct name is 3,6-dimethyloctane

Considering (d) 4-ethyl-4-methylheptane

This is a IUPAC name and following all the rules mentioned above.
