Answer:
It's a soft metal, reactive and with a low melting point, with a relative density of 0,97 at 20ºC (68ºF)
Positron emission = emission of a positron and a neutrino when a
proton is convert into a neutron. The total number of particles in the
nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron
It's a spontaneous reaction for some nucleus.
eg:
Positron = e+
Neutrino=ve
O-15 --> N-15 + e+ +ve
Electron
capture= A nucleus absorb an electron while a proton is convert in a
neutron and emit a neutrino. The total number of particles in the
nucleus doesn't change, -1 proton +1 neutron
eg:
Al-26 +e- --> Mg-26 + ve
Electron
capture and positron emission are two mechanisms to explain the decay
of some unstable isotopes. Electron capture is usually observed when the
energy difference between the initial and final state is low. Mainly
because of the larger amount of kinetic energy need for the expulsion
two particles with the positron emission mechanism.
Answer: The process by which a particular substance or different substances are transformed to another is called as Chemical Reaction.One reason, in the case of reversible reactions could be that the reaction reached equilibrium before the reaction was complete.Chemical reactions occur when chemical bonds between atoms are formed or broken. The substances that go into a chemical reaction are called the reactants, and the substances produced at the end of the reaction are known as the products.The concentration of reactants decreases as the reaction proceeds and at last their concentration comes to an end. Hence, the reaction stops too. If two reactants are being reacted, then the reactant which is in limited amount will consume first and will result in the termination of reaction.The usual reason is that one (or more) of the reactants gets used up.
Hope that was helpful.Thank you!!!
Polar will always have the higher boiling point because they have strong van der waal forces
