Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago

Nuclear decay or radioactive decay is a process by which the nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy that is in terms of its mass. The radioactivity may cause an atom to lose whichever of its subatomic particles.

The explanation as why some of the atoms go through nuclear decay while others do not its because of the stability of some atoms. Atoms usually tend to follow octet rule, those which do not follow through this may experience the nuclear decay.

Reduction is a reaction which results in a __1____ in electrons and a __2____ in positive charge of the atom or ion
mestny [16]

Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.

Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.

With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.

Hope this helped!
