Answer: _{-1}^0\beta

Explanation:  

General representation of an element is given as:   _Z^A\textrm{X}

where,

Z represents Atomic number

A represents Mass number

X represents the symbol of an element

Beta decay : In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

The given reaction would be represented as:

_{43}^{98}\textrm{Tc}\rightarrow_{44}^{98}\textrm{Pb}+_{-1}^0\beta

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The high energy electrons are known as beta particles. Charge on a beta particle is -1, that is, similar to the charge present in an electron.

Hence, symbol that represents a beta particle is ^{0}_{-1}\beta.

For example, ^{98}_{43}Tc \rightarrow ^{98}_{44}Ru + ^{0}_{-1}\beta

This reaction is a radioactive decay rection when ^{98}_{43}Tc on decaying gives ^{98}_{44}Rualong with emission of a beta particle.

Whereas ^{4}_{2}He is an alpha particle,  ^{0}_{0}\gamma is a gamma particle, and ^{1}_{0}n is a neutron.

Thus, we can conclude that the particle ^{0}_{-1}\beta would complete this given beta decay reaction.

Does the antifreeze you put in a car radiator have a lower or higher freezing point than water
saveliy_v [14]
Hello!
Antifreeze says it in the name. This means that it helps prevent freezing. The liquid that would freeze if you wouldnt use the antifreeze is water. This means that the antifreeze has to have a higher freezing point then water, because otherwise it would only freeze faster!

Hope this helped you!

cestrela7 [59]

The chemical equation is unbalanced and synthesized.

<h3></h3><h3>What is a chemical equation?</h3>

A chemical equation is described as the symbolic representation of a chemical reaction in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.

In a chemical equation, the reactant entities are given on the left-hand side and the product entities is shown on the right-hand side with a plus sign between the entities in both the reactants and the products, and an arrow that indicates towards the products to show the direction of the reaction.

We can conclude that in the chemical equation shown is unbalanced because both amounts of the individual elements and compounds do not reflect on the reactant and product side.

The complete question is below:

After learning about the law of conservation of mass, Sammy became interested in balancing equations. He knew that the symbol for aluminum was Al and silver tarnish was Ag2S. He also knew that mixing the two chemicals yielded pure silver, or Ag, in an aluminum sulfide solution. Here is the equation showing this reaction:

3 Ag2S + 2 Al → 6 Ag + Al2S3

This equation is (synthesis / unbalanced / replacement / balanced), and it represents a(n) (unbalanced / balanced / synthesized / replaced) chemical reaction.

answer choices:

  • synthesis; balanced

  • balanced; replacement

  • unbalanced; synthesized

  • balanced; balanced

In the figure below, two nonpolar molecules are interacting.Which interaction would most likely cause these molecules to repel e
Fed [463]
Two non-polar molecules are most likely to interact by
induced dipole-induced dipole interaction.

Non-polar substances do not have a permanently established charge distribution due to similar electron affinities of the atoms that are present. Moreover, due to the absence of a polar hydrogen, they cannot exhibit hydrogen bonding. They interact with one another by induced dipole-induced dipole interactions which arise from the molecules of the substances coming into close vicinity of one another.

The number of positive changes in the nucleus of an atom is equal to
raketka [301]

Answer:

The number of positive charges in nucleus of an atoms are equal to the atomic number and also positive charges are equal to the negative charges which are electrons in neutral atom.

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

Electron:

The electron is subatomic particle that revolve around outside the nucleus and has negligible mass. It has a negative charge.

Symbol= e⁻

Mass= 9.10938356×10⁻³¹ Kg

It was discovered by j. j. Thomson in 1897 during the study of cathode ray properties.

Neutron and proton:

Neutron and proton are present inside the nucleus. Proton has positive charge while neutron is electrically neutral. Proton is discovered by Rutherford while neutron is discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Symbol of proton= P⁺

Symbol of neutron= n⁰

Mass of proton=1.672623×10⁻²⁷ Kg

Mass of neutron=1.674929×10⁻²⁷ Kg

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

For example

The carbon have six protons and six neutrons so its atomic mass is 12 amu and atomic number is six.
