Answer: There are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Explanation:
Alpha Decay: In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. The mass number is reduced by 4 units and atomic number is reduced by 2 units.
Beta Decay : It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron. This is also known as -decay. In this the mass number remains same but the atomic number is increased by 1.
In radioactive decay the sum of atomic number or mass number of reactants must be equal to the sum of atomic number or mass number of products .
Thus for mass number : 235 = 207+4X
4X= 28
X = 7
Thus for atomic number : 92 = 82+2X-Y
2X- Y = 10
2(7) - Y= 10
14-10 = Y
Y= 4
Thus there are 7 alpha-particle emissions and 4 beta-particle emissions involved in this series
Answer:
trigonal pyramidal
Explanation:
In NF3, the nitrogen atom is sp3 hybridized. Now we must remember that according to the VSEPR theory, the number of electron pairs in the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape.
Here, the nitrogen atom is the central atom and its outermost shell is surrounded by four electron pairs - one lone pair and three bond pairs. This means that it has a tetrahedral electron pair geometry.
However, due to the lone pair, the three fluorine atoms are arranged in a trigonal pyramidal geometry. Hence the correct shape of the molecule is trigonal pyramidal.
Answer:
Amide
Explanation:
O=NH2 is the Amide group versus NH2, which is the amine group.

Answer:
CaCl2 (aq) + K2CO3(aq) ---------> CaCO3(s) + 2KCl(aq)
Explanation:
We have the reactants as calcium chloride and potassium carbonate. Recall that we are expecting that the reaction will yield a precipitate. We must keep that in mind as we seek to write its balanced chemical reaction equation.
So we now have;
CaCl2 (aq) + K2CO3(aq) ---------> CaCO3(s) + 2KCl(aq)
Recall that the rule of balancing chemical reaction equation states that the number of atoms of each element on the right side of the reaction equation must be the same as the number of atoms of the same element on the left hand side of the reaction equation.
