When non-metal atoms ionize they gain electrons.<span> Some examples of this are the halogen elements: F, Cl, Br and I, each, can gain one electron from the respective anions, F-, Cl-, Br-, and I-. O and S, may gain two electrons to form the anions O2- and S2-. This is due to the fact that those elements only need one (in the case of the halogens) or two (in the case of O and S) electrons to reach the most stable configuration of the closest noble gas (with the last shell of electrons full), so they are ready to gain those electrons and form the corresponding ions.</span>
Radioactive decay or disintegration is a process through which unstable nuclei form q more stable nuclei by the release of elementary particles like alpha particles, beta, protons, neutrons etc along with the release of energy.
In the given examples:
a) N-13 will get converted in to carbon, C-12 along with the release of a proton as shown below:
₇N¹³ → ₆C¹² + ₁H¹
b) N-15 will get converted in to boron B-11 along with the release of an alpha particle
₇N¹⁵ → ₅B¹¹ + ₂He⁴

Answer:</h3>
318.405 g
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
We are given;
- Volume of K₃PO₄ solution to be prepared as 750.0 mL or 0.75 L
- Molarity of the solution to be prepared as 2.00 M
We are required to determine the mass of K₃PO₄ to be measured.
<h3>Step 1: Determine the number of moles of K₃PO₄</h3>
Molarity = Moles ÷ Volume
Rearranging the formula;
Number of moles = Molarity × Volume
Therefore;
Moles of K₃PO₄ = 2.00 M × 0.75 L
= 1.5 moles
<h3>Step 2: Determine the mass of K₃PO₄ to be measured</h3>
Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass
Molar mass of K₃PO₄ = 212.27 g/mol
Therefore;
Mass of K₃PO₄ = 1.5 moles × 212.27 g/mol
= 318.405 g
Therefore, the mass of K₃PO₄ that should be weighed is 318.405 g
