Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
Answer:
sp3 hybridization
Explanation:
Hybridization means the mixing of atomic orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals with characteristics that are different from that of the isolated atomic orbitals before the combination.
sp3 hybridization occurs when one s orbital is mixed with three p orbitals to yield four sp3 hybrid orbitals which can be used to bond to a central atom.
The central atom is then located at the center of a regular tetrahedron at a bond angle of 109°.
Answer: element.
Justification:
1) A molecule is the union of two or more atoms.
2) When two or more atoms of different elements bond together, the molecule formed is a compound.
For example: one atoms of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine form the molecule HCl, which is a compound (hydrogen chloride).
3) When the molecules is formed by two atoms of the same element, it is not called a compound, but element. Some examples of this are the diatomic gases:
H₂: hydrogen
Cl₂: chlorine
Br₂: bromine
O₂: oxygen
S₂: sulfur
N₂: nitrogen.
Answer:
a. The second run will be faster.
d. The second run has twice the surface area.
Explanation:
The rate of a reaction is proportional to the surface area of a catalyst. Given the volume (V) of a sphere, we can find its surface area (A) using the following expression.

The area of the 10.0 cm³-sphere is:

The area of each 1.25 cm³-sphere is:

The total area of the 8 1.25cm³-spheres is 8 × 5.61 cm² = 44.9 cm²
The ratio of 8 1.25cm³-sphere to 10.0 cm³-sphere is 44.9 cm²/22.4 cm² = 2.00
Since the surface area is doubled, the second run will be faster.
