Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
Answer: hydrogen
Explanation: hydrogen gas is a major component of water which occupies a large portion of the Earth's atmosphere
The statement which is true about the reactivity of element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ is
it is reactive because it has to lose one electron to have a full outermost energy level.
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- <u><em> </em></u>Element with 1S²2S²2P⁶3S¹ electron configuration is a sodium metal.
- sodium has one electron in the outermost energy level.
- for sodium to have a full outermost energy level ( 8 electrons) it loses the 1 electron in 3S¹ to form a positively charged ion. (Na⁺)
Its known as covalently bonded atoms
