The mercury-201 nuclide radioactively decays by electron capture. Write a balanced nuclear chemical equation that describes this

process.

ICE Princess25 [194]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Electron capture is a form of beta decay in which the nucleus of a radionuclide captures an electron. In the case of mercury-201, the equation below illustrates that

²⁰¹₈₀Hg + ⁰₋₁e   ⇒  ²⁰¹₇₉Au

As can be seen above, the electron capture reduces the atomic number by one unit leading to the production of a new radioisotope (because of the change in atomic number).

: If you know that a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then you can also say that a ∝ bc, or the product of b and c. Take the above three proportio
aleksley [76]

Answer:

V ∝ abc

Explanation:

This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:

Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.

Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.

In this exercise:

If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc

Taking the above three proportionalities,

V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c

V ∝ a ∝ bc

V ∝ abc

Explain why alkanes can be described as hydrocarbons.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

<h3>The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) defines alkanes as "acyclic branched or unbranched hydrocarbons having the general formula CnH2n+2, and therefore consisting entirely of hydrogen atoms and saturated carbon atoms". ... The number of carbon atoms may be considered as the size of the alkane.</h3>
