1. The atomic number deceases by one and the atomic mass is unchanged - β⁺/positron emission. In this a proton is converted to a neutron, hence no net change in mass. Since a proton is converted to neutron, the daughter nuclide's proton number /atomic number decreases by 1. Then atomic number decreases by 1 and no change in mass.

2.the atomic number decreases by two, and the atomic mass decreases by four - alpha decay / ⁴₂α. alpha particles have 2 neutrons and 2 protons. Since 2 protons and 2 neutrons are emitted, the mass of the nuclide decreases by 4. Since 2 protons have been emitted, this results in atomic number decreasing  by 2.

3.<span>the atomic number increases by one, and the atomic mass remains unchanged. - </span>β⁻ beta decay. In this type of decay - beta decay , a neutron is converted to a proton, therefore no net change in mass. Since a proton is formed, atomic number increases by 1. Therefore atomic number increases by 1 and no change in mass.

Determine which decay process is being described in each case.

The atomic number deceases by one, and the atomic mass is unchanged.      

beta-plus decay

The atomic number decreases by two, and the atomic mass decreases by four.      

alpha-decay

The atomic number increases by one, and the atomic mass remains unchanged.      

beta-minus decay

What form of pollution can lichens be a good indicator of?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Lichens can be used as air pollution indicators, especially of the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere. Lichens are organisms that grow in exposed places such as rocks or tree bark. They need to be very efficient at absorbing water and nutrients to grow there.

How many grams are there in 1.1 x 1027 molecules of water (H2O)?
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

C) 3.3 x 104 grams

Explanation:

1 mole of water contains 6.02 × 10^23 atoms

1.1 × 10^27 atoms will contain;

1.1 × 10^27 ÷ 6.02 × 10^23

= 0.1827 × 10^( 27 - 23)

= 0.1827 × 10^(4)

= 1.827 × 10³ moles of water.

To convert mole to mass in grams, we use the formula;

mole (n) = mass (m) ÷ molar mass (MM)

Molar mas of water (H2O) = 1(2) of H + 16 of O = 18g/mol

mole = mass/molar mass

1.827 × 10³ = mass / 18

mass = 1.827 × 10³ × 18

mass = 32.886 × 10³

mass = 3.286 × 10⁴

mass = 3.3 × 10⁴ grams
