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.

Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) ____ substance.
Mnenie [13.5K]
The answer to this question would be D. Hydrophilic.

The word hydrophilic mean attracted by water. That means the molecule has a force to attract water molecule, thus be able to dissolve in water.  The polarity of the molecule would determine whether a molecule hydrophilic or not.
Its opposite would be hydrophobic which the molecule can't dissolve in water.  One example of this would be oil or fat. That is why sometimes it is called lipophilic too.

1. How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to form 21.8 liters of water vapor?
BaLLatris [955]

0.781 moles

Explanation:

We begin by balancing the chemical equation;

O₂ (g) + 2H₂ (g) → 2H₂O (g)

21.8 Liters = 21.8 Kgs

To find how many moles are in 28.1 Kg H₂O;

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

28.1/18

= 1.56 moles

The mole ratio between water vapor and oxygen is;

1 : 2

x : 1.56

2x = 1.56

x = 1.56 / 2

x =  0.781

0.781 moles

if a carbon atom is bonded to two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms which type of bond must exist between the carbon atoms​
zavuch27 [327]

Carbon to carbon bond is nonpolar covalent since the difference of their electronegativity’s is 0. Carbon has an electronegativity of 2.5. 2.5 - 2.5 is 0 making the bond between those two atoms nonpolar covalent. I hope I answered your question.
