Answer:

¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

Explanation:

To know which equation is unbalanced, we shall compare the mass number and atomic number of the reactant and product together. This is illustrated below:

¹²¹₅₀Sn —> ⁰₋₁β + ¹²¹₅₁Sb

121 = 0 + 121

121 = 121

50 = –1 + 51

50 = 51

Thus the above equation is balanced

¹⁹⁰₇₈Pt —> ¹⁸⁶₇₆Os + ⁴₂α

190 = 186 + 4

190 = 190

78 = 76 + 2

78 = 78

Thus, the above equation is balanced

¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

10 = 10 + 0

10 = 10

4 = 3 + (–1)

4 = 3 – 1

4 = 2

Thus, the above equation is unbalanced.

²³⁸₉₂U —> ⁴₂α + ²³⁴₉₀Th

238 = 4 + 234

238 = 238

92 = 2 + 90

92 = 92

Thus, the above equation is balanced.

From the illustrations made above, only ¹⁰₄Be —> ¹⁰₃Li + ⁰₋₁β

Is unbalanced.

Which is a property that Mendeleev predicted for gallium (Ga)?
kompoz [17]
The correct option is B.
Mendeleev was the one who originated the idea of arranging elements in the periodic table according to their chemical and physical properties. He left spaces in the periodic table and predicted the discovery of those elements that had not been discovered then. One of these elements is Gallium. He predicted that gallium is going to be a metal and he gave the properties that the element will possess. He also predicted that the element gallium will be placed under aluminium in the periodic table.

6. The fusion of 4 H-1 nuclei to produce two positrons and one other nuclei.​
KIM [24]

Explanation:

Normally, fusion involves two heavy hydrogen nuclides but since we have 4 light hydrogen nuclides, two of which underwent positron emission, thus changing two protons into neutrons plus 2 positrons and 2 neutrinos. The resulting nucleus from this fusion reaction is an He-4 nucleus.

kvv77 [185]
Answer is: coefficient is one.
Chemical reaction: SiO₂ + 4HF → SiF₄ + 2H₂O.
Reaction is balanced when there are equal numbers of elements in both side of the chemical reaction.
HF - hydrofluoric acid, <span>highly corrosive, dissolves many materials.</span>
SiF₄ - silicon tetrafluoride.
