Answer: 
Explanation:
General representation of an element is given as: 
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
Beta decay : In this process, a neutron gets converted into a proton and an electron releasing a beta-particle. The beta particle released carries a charge of -1 units.
The given reaction would be represented as:
Answer:
Halocarbon, any chemical compound of the element carbon and one or more of the halogens (bromine, chlorine, fluorine, iodine); two important subclasses of halocarbons are the chlorocarbons, containing only carbon and chlorine, and the fluorocarbons, containing only carbon and fluorine.

Explanation:
The third law of thermodynamics states that "the entropy of a perfect crystal of a pure substance approaches zero as the temperature approaches zero" (Wikipedia).
One example of the third law of thermodynamics has to do with steam. Steam is gaseous water. Since it is a gas, its molecules are free to move around therefore its entropy is high. When the temperature of the steam is decreased below 100 degrees, the molecules of steam loose energy and turn into liquid water and do not move as freely as they did in the gaseous state. If the temperature is further decreased to yield ice at zero degrees, the molecules of water are "frozen" in their positions and the entropy of the system decreases to zero.
Also, the ions in ionic crystal solids move around when the substance is in solution or in molten state hence the substance conducts electricity. When the ionic substance is in solid state, the ions do not move about and the entropy of the solid system tends towards zero.
Freeze-Thaw Weathering
This action can widen the cracks in the rock, and when the temperature rises above freezing, the ice thaws, allowing the water to seep further into the cracks. As this process of freezing and thawing happens repeatedly, the rock begins to weaken and eventually breaks apart into angular fragments.
