The element number of Fe is 26, which means that the number of neutrons of the following isotopes is:
<span>53-Fe: 27 </span>
<span>54-Fe: 28 </span>
<span>56-Fe: 30 </span>
<span>57-Fe: 31 </span>
<span>58-Fe: 32 </span>
<span>59-Fe: 33 </span>
<span>Because 53-Fe has too few neutrons when compared to the other isotopes we can rule out any decay that involves losing a neutron: (alpha decay, beta decay) So, this isotope will prefer to decay by electron capture or positron emission (assuming the system has about 1 MeV to spare), but in each case the product will be the same: 53-Mn (long-lived radioisotope). </span>
Answer: 1) Adding fertilizers to soil
Explanation: Eutrophication is the presence of excess mineral and nutrients in water bodies which result into increased plant and algal growth.
Fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus are used to make soil more fertile in farming. The overuse of fertilizers can cause these nutrients to runoff the farmer's fields and enter water bodies, thus leading to eutrophication.
Balance the reaction so the same number of each type of atom is on each side. Which option seems balanced to you?
Explanation:
They are indeed placed from the far left hand side of the periodic table in almost the same column. If you step around the table between left to right, the movement of electrons rises by one. When you progress down the line, the number of power increases by the one.
