Answer:

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron.

Explanation:

Identify the correct descriptions of beta particles.

a. A beta particle has a negative charge. YES. A beta particle is originated in the following nuclear reaction: ¹₀n ⇒ ¹₁H + ⁰₋₁e (beta particle.)

b. A beta particle contains neutrons. NO. It is a electron originated in the nucleus.

c. A beta particle is less massive than a gamma ray. NO. Gamma rays don't have mass while a beta particle has a mass which is half of one thousandth of the mass of a proton.

d. A beta particle is a high-energy electron. YES. Beta particles are nuclear originated hig-energy electrons.

gas to liquid

Explanation:

The change of state indicated by this analogy is from gas to liquid.

Cylinder to the left is filled with gases

Cylinder to the right is made up of liquid.

Gases occupy the volumes of containers they are introduced into.
They are random and possess a high kinetic energy.
Liquids have definite volume and flow with one another.
The gases in A are dispersed and in random motion.
This phase change is called condensation

Write the charge and full ground-state electron configuration of the monatomic ion most likely to be formed by each:

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Part A:

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Configuration is $1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$

Explanation:

Monatomic ions:

These ions consist of only one atom. If they have more than one atom then they are poly atomic ions.

Examples of Mono Atomic ions: $Na^+, Cl^-, Ca^2^+$

Part A:

For P:

Phosphorous (P) has 15 electrons so it require 3 more electrons to stabilize itself.

Charge is $P^{3-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^6$

Part B:

For Mg:

Magnesium (Mg) has 12 electrons so it requires 2 electrons to lose to achieve stable configuration.

Charge is $Mg^{2+}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^6$

Part C:

For Se:

Selenium (Se) has 34 electrons and requires two electrons to be stable.

Charge is $Se^{2-}$

Full ground-state electron configuration of the mono atomic ion:

$1s^2 2s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{10}4p^6$
