When a radioactive isotope releases an alpha particle, the atomic number of the atom is (2 points)

2 answers:

8 0

When alpha decay takes place, two protons and two neutrons are forcefully ejected from the nucleus in a way that looks very similar to a Helium nucleus. This type of decay causes the atomic mass of the parent particle to drop by four (four particles lost), but the atomic number drops by only two (two protons lost). Therefore, your answer is C.

I have no idea how to do this, any help would be appreciated

Proton number = the atomic number (which is the smaller number
neutron number = the mass number (the bigger number) - the atomic number
number of electrons = the atomic number - the charge (it depends on the element but group 1 is +1 group 2 is +2 group 3 is +3 group five is -3 group six is -2 group seven is -1

i would solve the whole thing but its unclear hope this helps tho

Answer:

Explanation:

31 / 2.8 = 11.0714286 L per mole of helium

3.5 / 4 = 0.875 moles

2.8 + 0.875 = 3.675 moles

11.0714286 x 3.675 = 40.6875 L
