Answer:
Explanation:
Magnesium when it oxidizes has a valence of 2.
Oxygen, when it mixes with something, has a valence of - 2
So Mg and O2 will form something, but what? The answer is MgO
Mg + O2 ===> MgO
To balance this equation, you need 2 Magnesiums on the right and 2 Oxygens also on the right. The left will need a two Magnesiums.
The balanced equation will be
2Mg + O2 ====> 2MgO

Sodium-22 remain : 1.13 g
<h3>Further explanation
</h3>
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
General formulas used in decay:
T = duration of decay
t 1/2 = half-life
N₀ = the number of initial radioactive atoms
Nt = the number of radioactive atoms left after decaying during T time
half-life = t 1/2=2.6 years
T=15.6 years
No=72.5 g
The correct balanced equation of a beta decay undergone by Mercury-203 is as follows:
203 80 Hg → 203 81 + 0 -1 e
<h3>What is beta decay?</h3>
Beta decay in radioactivity refers to the release of a beta particle by a radioactive element.
Beta particle is characterized by the possession of mass number 0 and atomic number -1.
This means that if Mercury-203 undergoes beta decay, the atomic number of the resulting isotope will be +1 as follows:
203 80 Hg → 203 81 Tl + 0 -1 e
