In what type of radioactive decay does the atomic number of the product decrease by one? Select all that apply.

1 answer:

4 0

The atomic number of the product decrease by one in the d) positron emission and the e) electron capture radioactive decay. These radioactive decays are two of three common forms of the Beta Decay which occurred when the proton released a positron and a neutron emitted an electron. The Beta Decay can increase or decrease the atomic number.

How does an atom become a positively charged ion

sladkih [1.3K]

When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.

An 80.0-gram sample of a gas was heated from 25 °C to 225 °C. During this process, 346 J of work was done by the system and its

german

Hello!

First you need to calculate q
delta U is change in internal energy 

delta U = q + w 
q is heat and w work done 
here work was done by the system means energy leaving the system so w is negative 

delta U = q + w 

q = delta U - w = 6865 J - (-346 J) = 7211 J = 7.211 KJ 

q = m x c x delta T 

7211 J = 80.0 g x c x (225-25) °C 

c = 0.451 J /g °C

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

Describe what happens when a bond is created between magnesium and bromine. Be specific and explain in terms of electrons.

Allushta [10]

Answer: Magnesium and Bromine/MgBr2 = Ionic compounds

Explanation: When atoms form together they can form between Ionic Compounds and molecules; this could depend on if they're joined by Covalent bonds as well because when atoms form with Covalent bonds, it forms Molecules.

if 11.74 liters of gas at STP are pumped into a basketball, how many moles of gas are in the basketball? assume the basketball w

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

0.52 mol

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation formula:

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (Liters)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

At STP (standard temperature and pressure), temperature of a gas is 273K, while its pressure is 1 atm

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = (1 × 11.74) ÷ (0.0821 × 273)

n = 11.74 ÷ 22.41

n = 0.52 mol

There are 0.52 moles in the basketball
