Beta decay can be described by the emission of an electron.

Beta decay happens when an atom has too many protons or too many neutrons in its core. This causes the atom to be unstable and release an electron in the process.

A candle slowly burns until the last bit of wax and wick are gone. The two reactants in this chemical reaction are the wick and
Aleonysh [2.5K]

The component of the candle burning in the surrounding has been the oxygen in the air.

The burning of candle wax and wick has been the chemical reaction. It has been based on the reaction of wick with the atmospheric oxygen, resulting in the formulation of the wax burning.

<h3>Chemical reaction of burning of wax</h3>

The wax has been vaporizes by the heat of the flame, that has been resulted by the burning. The wick has been able to react with the oxygen and form the byproducts that helps in flame burning.

The end products have been wick and oxygen as the wax has been consumed in the reaction. The air in the surrounding has oxygen as the part of the system, as it has been involved in the reaction.

Water is known as the universal solvent. One reason water makes a good solvent is because it is composed of polar molecules. Wha
Flauer [41]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A water molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Its molecular formula is H_{2}O.

It is known that hydrogen is electropositive in nature whereas oxygen is electronegative in nature. Therefore, oxygen will pull the electron of hydrogen towards itself as a result, there will be formation of partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen atom.

Thus, the water molecule becomes polar. So, we can conclude that water molecule is a polar molecule because water molecules have a positive charge on one end and a negative charge on  the other.

What happened as Leah and Isaac moved down the small slope from point C to D?
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

As you move down anything, towards the earth, (gravitational) potential energy decreases. This eliminates options B and C.

By the law of conservation of energy, the energy of the system stays the same. However the energy may be converted into different forms. In this case, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy - this is what makes people move faster as they go down the slope. This makes option A wrong and option D right.

An atom of gold has a mass of 3.271 x 10-22g. How many atoms of gold are in 5.00g of gold?
rosijanka [135]
To get the number of gold atoms, you have to divide the mass of the gold by the mass of the gold atom. It follows this simple equation  \frac{mass of gold}{mass of gold atom}. 

Let x be the number of gold atoms. Plug in the values to a calculator.

x = \frac{5.00g}{3.271 x 10-22g}
Both have the same units so the unit gram(g) can be cancelled. 
x then would be equal to 1.53x10^22. So there are 1.53x10^22 atoms of gold in 5 g of gold
