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

Answer:

Wetlands are important features in the landscape that provide numerous beneficial services for people and for fish and wildlife. Some of these services, or functions, include protecting and improving water quality, providing fish and wildlife habitats, storing floodwaters and maintaining surface water flow during dry periods. These valuable functions are the result of the unique natural characteristics of wetlands.

2) Which liberates the most energy?

evablogger [386]

Answer: $F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

$F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)$

Characteristics of an atom

Doss [256]

Answer:

It is composed of protons, which have a positive charge, and neutrons, which have no charge. Protons, neutrons, and the electrons surrounding them are long-lived particles present in all ordinary, naturally occurring atoms. Other subatomic particles may be found in association with these three types of particles.

Explanation:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).
