Answer: A. an electron

<u>Beta particles are electrons or positrons (electrons with positive electric charge or antielectrons).</u> Beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray is emitted from an atomic nucleus.

<u>Beta decay occurs when, in an unstable nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons transforms into the other.</u> In beta minus decay, a neutron is broken down into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino (the neutrino antiparticle, meaning it has an opposite charge to the neutrino). In beta decay plus, a prototype breaks down into a neutron, a positron and a neutrino.

Without consulting Appendix B, arrange each group in order of increasing standard molar entropy (S°). Explain.(c) SF₆(g), SF₄(g)
Andre45 [30]

The increasing order of standard molar entropy (S°) is as follow:

SF₄(g) < SF₆(g) < S₂F₁₀(g)

<h3>What is Entropy? </h3>

Entropy is defined as the randomness of the particle. It depends on temperature and pressure or number of particle per unit volume.

It is directly proportional to the temperature and pressure of the gas.

<h3>What is Standard Molar Entropy? </h3>

The standard molar entropy is defined as the entropy content of the one mole of pure substance at the standard state of temperature and pressure of interest.

The standard molar entropy is also defined as the total amount of entropy which 1 mole of the substance acquire, as it is brought from 0K to standard conditions of temperature and pressure.

The standard molar entropy depends on the molas mass of atom, molecules or compound.

SF₄(g) has lower standard molar entropy. Due to less complexity of this molecules.

While, complexity increases from SF₆(g) to S₂F₁₀(g). Therefore, the standard molar entropy of S₂F₁₀(g) is greater than SF₆(g).

Thus, we concluded that the increasing order of standard molar entropy (S°) is as follow:

SF₄(g) < SF₆(g) < S₂F₁₀(g)
