<u>Answer:</u> The energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For the given nuclear reaction:

We are given:
Mass of
= 39.963998 u
Mass of
= 39.962591 u
To calculate the mass defect, we use the equation:

Putting values in above equation, we get:

To calculate the energy released, we use the equation:

(Conversion factor:
)

Hence, the energy released in the given nuclear reaction is 1.3106 MeV.

Because Electrons have a negative charge
Answer:In chemistry, a valence electron is an outer shell electron that is associated with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.
