Answer : The correct option is, (C) alpha = nucleus of a helium atom, beta = electron, gamma = photon

Explanation :

Alpha particle : It is also known as alpha radiation or alpha ray that consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons that are bound together into a particle that is identical to the helium nucleus. It is produced in the process of alpha decay.

Beta particle : It is also known as beta radiation or beta ray. During the beta decay process, a high energy and speed electron or positron are emitted by the radioactive decay of atomic nucleus.

Gamma particle : It is also a gamma radiation or gamma ray that is arising from the radioactive decay of atomic nuclei. It has shortest wavelength waves and imparts high photon energy can pass through most forms of matters because they have no mass.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) alpha = nucleus of a helium atom, beta = electron, gamma = photon

Hello Camkirkland,
I think that you are trying to balance this equation.
In order to balance a chemical equation, the numbers of atoms of each element must be equal on both sides of the equation.

In this particular equation, the answer would be (2) HBr + (1) Mg(OH)2 ---> (1) MgBr2 + (2) H2O.

Hope this answers your question!

Do you know how to do this? if you have 4 grams of carbon-14, how much carbon 14 remains after 11,460 years? the half life is 5,

Delvig [45]

Carbon dating has given archeologists a more accurate method by which they can determine the age of ancient artifacts. The halflife of carbon 14 is 5730 ± 30 years, and the method of dating lies in trying to determine how much carbon 14 (the radioactive isotope of carbon) is present in the artifact and comparing it to levels

• Draw lewis dot structures for an atom of each of following elements:

marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures represent the symbol of an atom we're looking at and the number of valence electrons it has. This number is represented by the sum of dots around the symbol.

Potassium is in group 1A, this means it only has one valence electron, so we draw K with one dot in its Lewis diagram;
Argon is in group 8A, this means it has eight valence electrons, so we draw Ar with 8 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Silicon is in group 4A, this means it has four valence electrons, so we draw Si with 4 dots around it in its Lewis diagram;
Arsenic is in group 5A, this means it has five valence electrons, so we draw As with 5 dots around it in its Lewis diagram.

Those are represented in the image attached below:

Pure silicon is a poor conductor at room temperature because it has 4 valence electrons
