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.

A  formula unit of the nitrate salt of Q is Q(NO3)2.

<h3>What is IUPAC nomenclature?</h3>

The IUPAC nomenclature was put together by the international Union of Pure and applied chemistry in order to have a uniform way of naming compounds.

We shall now find the names of the compounds;

1) Na* and HPO4²- ; sodium hydrogen tetraoxophoshate V

2) Potassium cation and cyanide anion ; Potassium cyanide

3) Calcium cation and hypochlorite anion; Calcium oxochlorate I

Knowing that the  valency of NO3^- is one and that the compound formed between Q and  CO3²- has the formula QCO3 we can conclude that a formula unit of its nitrate salt is Q(NO3)2.

A certain atom has 50 protons and 69 neutrons. Which statement(s) below are true about this atom? Choose ALL that apply.
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

D.) This atom has an atomic number of 50

Explanation:

A is wrong because we determine the type of atom by their number of protons, not the number of neutrons. This makes the atom Tin (Sn).

B is wrong because both protons and neutrons contribute to the weight of an atom, not just neutrons

C is wrong because the correct name for this isotope would be tin-119, which is calculated by adding the protons and neutrons

D is correct because isotopes of the same element always share the same atomic number
