Explanation:
Yes, a chemical reaction can happen with only one substance.
A typical example of such reaction is the radioactive decay.
Radioactive decay is the loss of elementary particles from an unstable nucleus, ultimately changing the unstable element into another more stable element. .
When radioactive elements are let alone, they decompose to form stable harmless elements.
An example of radioactive decay is attached in the image below;
Answer:
1. Option A. Beta decay minus 0 -1e
2. Option B. Alpha 4 2He
3. Option A. Beta decay minus 0 -1e
Explanation:
1. 66 29Cu is undergoing beta decay minus since it produces a daughter nuclei having the same mass number and the atomic number increased by 1 i.e 66 30Zn
2. 238 92U is undergoing alpha decay since the daughter nuclei produced has a decrease of 4 in the mass number and a decrease of 2 in the atomic number ie 234 90Th
3. 14 6C is undergoing beta decay minus since the daughter nuclei produced has the same mass number and the atomic number increased by 1 i.e 14 7N
