D. Yep, D is the answer, alright.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
Visual representation of covalent bonding indicating the valence shell electrons in the molecule, lines represents the shared pair of electron and pair of electrons that are not involved in bonding are represented as dots(lone pairs) are known as Lewis structures.
Compound formation takes place in order to complete the octet of each element that is according to octet rule, each atom forms bond with other atom in order to complete their octet that is to get eight electrons in its valence shell and attain stability.
An organic compound of the form
is known as ketene.
The given ketene is
.
The number of valence electron of:



The number of valence electrons in
= 
2 electrons are involved in each single bond between carbon and hydrogen and 4 electrons are involved in each double bond formed between carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen. Hence, the total number of electrons involved in bond formation are 12 and rest 2 pair of electrons are present on oxygen as lone pair of electrons.
Therefore, the attached image is the Lewis structure of
.
Answer:
24
Explanation:
The number of protons in the atom of the neutral element will also be 24.
Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom.
Electrons are the negatively charged particles
Neutrons do not carry any charges at all
Now, in a neutral atom, the charge is balanced and the number of protons and electrons are the same in the atom.
So, since we have been given that the atom has 24 electrons, the number of protons will be 24.
