Answer: 
Explanation:
General representation of an element is given as: 
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
Beta decay : In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.
The given reaction would be represented as:
Answer:
Sodium is higher than Potassium in thesame group
Explanation:
Sodium and potassium are the elements present in the first group of the periodic table. In group, atomic size increases from top to bottom this implies that even atomic radius increases. This causes less attraction force by nucleus on the electrons of outermost orbit of the atom and hence reduces the first ionisation energy, which is the energy required to remove the electron from the outermost orbit of an atom. So, as potassium is below sodium in the group, sodium has greater ionisation energy than potassium
Answer:
CH4 < CH3CH3 < CH3CH2CH3
Explanation:
Alkanes are saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons that undergoes intermolecular Van der waals forces. Van der waals forces are the attractive forces which make it possible for non-polar molecules to form liquids and solids.
Van der waals force are described as intermolecular forces arising from induced fluctuating dipoles in atoms and molecules brought about by movement of electrons around the atomic nucleus.
An example of the Van der waals force is the london dispersion force that occurs in the alkane family. It is the weakest of all electrical forces that act between atoms and molecules, These forces are responsible for liquefaction or solidification of non-polar substances at low temperature.
The strength of the intermolecular forces is based on the number of electrons surrounding the molecule and the surface area of the molecule. SO, in alkanes, the longer the carbon chain, the more stronger the intermolecular forces.
Answer:
1.44mole of CO
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as:
5C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO
We check to see if the expression is balanced and it is so;
Now;
Given;
1.8mole of C reacted; how many moles of CO are produced;
From the balanced reaction equation:
5 mole of C is expected to produce 4 mole of CO
1.8 mole of C will then produce 
= 1.44mole of CO
