Zinc-64 undergoes beta decay as shown:

Chemistry
1 answer:
IrinaK [193]2 years ago
7 0

Symbol for X : \tt _{31}^{64}Ga

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

Zinc-64 undergoes beta decay, so :

The atomic number will increase by +1, and the mass number will remain the same

So that the atomic number:

30 + 1 = 31

The element with atomic number 31 is Gallium

Reaction

\tt _{30}^{64}Zn\Rightarrow _{31}^{64}Ga+~_{-1}^0\beta

Endorphins are generated in the body during exercise, which leads to better emotional health. Please select the best answer from
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: Yes the statement is true.

Explanation: Endorphins are chemicals produced by the human bodies to relieve stress and pain.

They are produced mainly by brain and help to transmit electrical signals within nervous system, thus are called as neurotransmitters.

They are also called as "feel good chemicals" as they can act as pain relievers and happiness booster and thus lead to better emotional health.

Having studied the data for patterns and trends, you should now be able to draw
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The situation given here is imaginary such that the life of Rock has to be found using the half-life of the element lokium that has been found inside the rock.

Half-life of any material is the amount of time taken by that particular material to decay. Now the amount of lokium found in rock can show after how many half-lives this amount has been left out.

The time elapsed will be log (L) atoms X half-life.

Which of the following statements is TRUE? Question 5 options: The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same
amm1812

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

a) The emission spectrum of a particular element is always the same and can be used to identify the element: It's true since the emission spectrum for each element is unique. It has the same bright lines at the same wavelength. This feature is used to identify elements. For example, the study of the emission spectra of light arriving from stars allow us to identify the elements presents in the star because the light contains the emission spectra of those elements.

b)The uncertainty principle states that we can never know both the exact location and speed of an electron:  It is true since the velocity of an electron is related to its wave nature, while its position is related to its particle nature and we cannot simultaneously measure electron's position and velocity with precision.

c) An orbital is the volume in which we are most likely to find an electron: An orbital is a probability distribution map that is used to decribe the likely position of an electron in an atom.
