Answer: a. alpha emission : atomic number decreases by 2 units and mass number decreases by 4 units.
b. beta emission : atomic number increases by 1 unit and mass number remains same.
c. gamma emission : atomic number and mass number both remain same.
Explanation:
1. Alpha emmision: In this process, alpha particles is emitted when a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released has a charge of +2 units, thus atomic number decreases by 2 units and mass number decreases by 4 units.
2.)Beta-emmision: 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, thus atomic number increases by 1 unit and mass number remains same.
3.) Gamma ray emission: in this process, an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and releases . These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral, thus atomic number and mass number both remain same.
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is isotopes generally have the same chemical properties, but often different nuclear properties.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Isotopes are defined as the chemical species of the same element which have same atomic number but differ in their mass number.
Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or electrons that are present in a neutral atom.
Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons
Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and neutrons that are present in an atom.
Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons
Nuclear properties of an element is determined by the number of protons and neutrons present in a nucleus.
Chemical properties of an element is determined by the number of electrons present in an atom.
Isotopes have same atomic number, this means that they have same number of protons and electrons but they differ in mass number, which means that they differ in number of neutrons.
Hence, isotopes will have same chemical properties but different nuclear properties.
1) make an observation that describes a problem, 2) create a hypothesis, 3) test the hypothesis
Answer:
9.0 moles Ca(NO₃)₂
Explanation:
from definition of Molarity = moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
=> moles = Molarity x Volume(L) = 6.00 molar x 1.5 liters = 9.0 moles Ca(NO₃)₂
