Answer: ^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e is the correct equation for beta decay.

Explanation:

When a beta particle, that is, ^{0}_{-1}e is emitted in a radioactive decay then it is known as beta decay.

Therefore, beta decay of Polonium-218 is as follows.

^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e

Therefore, we can conclude that ^{218}_{84}Po \rightarrow ^{218}_{85}At + ^{0}_{-1}e is the correct equation for the given beta decay.

g What is the mass ratio for CaCl2 if a sample analyzed to be 36.1 grams calcium and 63.9 grams chlorine
Kitty [74]

Answer:

0.361Ca\\\\ 0.639Cl

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the mass ratio here can be computed as:

\frac{mass\ Ca}{mass\ CaCl_2} \\\\\frac{mass\ Cl}{mass\ CaCl_2}

For each element forming the compound we obtain:

\frac{36.1g}{63.9g+36.1g} = 0.361Ca\\\\\frac{63.9g}{63.9g+36.1g} = 0.639Cl

Best regards!

Describe how the properties of the compound carbon monoxide (CO) differ from the properties of the
ElenaW [278]

Explanation:

There is a clear cut difference between a compound and an element:

  • A compound is made up of substances composed of two or more kinds of atoms or elements joined together in a definite grouping.
  • An element is a distinct substance that cannot be split-up into simpler substances. These substances are only made up of one kind of atom.

Compounds are formed so that unstable elements can attain stability.

Carbon monoxide is made up two elements: Carbon and oxygen that have combined chemically together.

  • Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas and it is different from oxygen atom and carbon atom.
  • Carbon is a solid but carbon monoxide is a gas.
  • Oxygen atom does not exists on its own but it exists as Oxygen gas O₂
  • The properties of carbon monoxide clearly differ from that of oxygen and carbon.
