Answer:

silicon-oxygen tetrahedron is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The main building block of a silicate mineral is silicon-oxygen tetrahedron. Silicon-oxygen tetrahedron belongs to the anionic group and the silicon atom is surrounded by four oxygen atom, arranged to determine the edges of a tetrahedron.

This silicate ion consists of one silicon atom, placed in the middle of a tetrahedron and surrounded by four oxygen atom, placed at vertices of a tetrahedron.

Write balanced nuclear equations for the following:(b) Formation of francium-221 through α decay
Lady_Fox [76]

The balanced nuclear equations for the following:(b) Formation of francium-221 through α decay is (225,89)Ac -> (4,2)alpha + (221,87)Fr

<h3>What is balanced nuclear equation?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is generally expressed by a nuclear equation, which has the general form, where T is the target nucleus, B is the bombarding particle, R is the residual product nucleus, and E is the ejected particle, and Ai and Zi (where I = 1, 2, 3, 4) are the mass number and atomic number, respectively. Finding a well balanced equation is critical for understanding nuclear reactions. Balanced nuclear equations provide excellent information about the energy released in nuclear reactions. Balancing the nuclear equation requires equating the total atomic number as well as the total mass number before and after the reaction using the rules of atomic number and mass number conservation in a nuclear reaction.
