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.
I believe the answer is 3 - He hypothesized that all substances can be broken down into a smallest part called the atom.
Explanation:
When a metal replaces another metal in solution, we say such a reaction has undergone a single displacement reaction.
In such a reaction, metal higher up in the activity series replaces another one due to their position.
To known the metal or metals that will replace the given copper, we need to reference the activity series of metals.
Every metal higher than copper in the series will displace copper from the solution.
So, there metals are: potassium, sodium, lithium, barium, strontium etc.
