The daughter isotope  : Radon-222 (Rn-222).

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Radium (Ra-226) undergoes an  alpha decay

Required

The daughter nuclide

Solution

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,  

  • alpha α particles ₂He⁴
  • beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
  • gamma particles ₀γ⁰
  • positron particles ₁e⁰
  • neutron ₀n¹

The decay reaction uses the principle: the sum of the atomic number and mass number before and after decay are the same

Radium (Ra-226) : ₈₈²²⁶Ra

Alpha particles : ₂⁴He

So Radon-226 emits alpha α particles ₂He⁴  , so the atomic number decreases by 2, mass number decreases by 4

The reaction :

₈₈²²⁶Ra ⇒ ₂⁴He + ₈₆²²²Rn

Look at the following chemical reaction and determine what is true about Mg. Click 2 that apply.
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is b. Mg is being oxidized and c. Mg is the

                                                    reducing agent.

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain of electrons

Oxidation is the loss of electrons

Reducing agent is the element that oxidizes itself and reduces another element.

Oxidizing agent is the element the reduces itself and oxidizes another element.

 In this reaction:

Magnesium loses electrons so it is being oxidized and it is the reducing agent.

An electron in an atom is known to be in a state with magnetic quantum number ml=−1
Ulleksa [173]

Explanation:

It is known that the maximum value of ml is equal to the vale of l. But the minimum value of n is as follows.

                    n = l + 1

where,     n = principle quantum number

                l = azimuthal quantum number

Values of n can be 1, 2, 3, 4 and so on. Whereas the values of l can be 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.

Also, "m" is known as magnetic quantum number whose values can be equal to -l and +l.

So, when n = 1 then l = 0 and m = 0.

When n = 2 then l = 1 and values of m will be equal to -1, 0, +1. As it is given that the magnetic quantum number ml = -1. Hence, it is only possible when n = 2.

Thus, we can conclude that the smallest possible value of the principal quantum number n of the state is 2.

Balance the chemical equation using the drop-down options.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

CaC2 + 2H20 ⇋Ca(OH)2 + C2H2

Explanation:

CaC2 + A H20 ---> Ca(OH)2 + A C2H2

This is calcium carbide reacting with water to produce calcium hydroxide and ethyne commonly called acetylene.

Let's now balance the equation.

CaC2 + 2H20 ⇋Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
