Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

During alpha decay, the mass number of the daughter nucleus is less than that of the parent nucleus by 4 units while the atomic number of the daughter nucleus is less than that of the parent nucleus by two units.

Hence, the daughter nucleus is found two places before the parent in the periodic table.

The alpha decay of the species shown in the question are described in the image attached to this answer.

What is the chemical formula for the compound magnesium perchlorate? Use the list of polyatomic ions and the periodic table to h

8_murik_8 [283]

The chemical formula for the compound magnesium perchlorate is Mg(ClO₄)₂

Magnesium perchlorate or Mg(ClO₄)₂ is an ionic compound.

Perchlorate here is an anion which is represented by ClO₄⁻. Perchlorate is a polyatiomic anion, where one Cl atom is bonded to four O atoms.

The magnesium cation is represented by Mg²⁺

So one Mg²⁺ cation combines with two ClO₄⁻ anion to form one molecule of Mg(ClO₄)₂

An aqueous solution containing barium iodide (bai2) is electrolyzed in a cell containing inert electrodes. what are the products

ivolga24 [154]

Answer is: hydrogen (cathode), iodine (anode).
The balanced oxidation half reaction: 2I⁻(aq) → I₂(s) + 2e⁻.
Iodine is oxidized (lost electrons) from -1 to neutral charge (0).
The balanced reduction half-reaction: 2H₂O(l) + 2e⁻ → H₂(g) + 2OH⁻.
Hydrogen is reduced (gain electrons) from +1 to neutral charge.
