<h3>The balanced nuclear equation</h3>

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ ₂₈⁶⁰Ni + ₋₁⁰e

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

the beta minus decay of Co-60

Required

The reaction

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

Beta minus : ₋₁e⁰ particles

so the reaction :

Co-60 ⇒ X + beta minus

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ X + ₋₁⁰e

In a nuclear decay reaction, the mass number and atomic number of the left (reactant / decayed) and right (product) sides will be the same

mass number = constant = 60

atomic number = 27 - (- 1) = 28

So the element X = ₂₈⁶⁰Ni

₂₇⁶⁰Co ⇒ ₂₈⁶⁰Ni + ₋₁⁰e

What is the difference between electronegativity and ionization energy
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

These properties are basically the inverse of each other.

Explanation:

  • Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract an electron and make it a part of its orbital.

        Ionization enthalpy, is the energy required to remove an electron from                        an atom.

  • More electronegative atoms have high ionization enthalpies If the energy required to remove an electron is less, i.e. the atom has more tendency to give electron, it would thus have less tendency to take electron.
  • Values and tendency of electronegativity in the periodic table: In general, the electronegativity of a non‐metal is  larger than that of metal. For the elements of one period the electronegativities increase from  left to right across the periodic table. For the elements of one main group the electronegativities  decrease from top to bottom across the periodic table. To the subgroup elements, there’s no  regular rule.
  • Values and tendency of ionization potential in the periodic table: The first ionization energy is the energy which is  required when a gaseous atom/ion loses an electron to form a gaseous +1 valence ion. The  energy which is required for a gaseous +1 valence ion to loose an electron to form a gaseous +2  valence ion, is called the second ionization energy of an element.  In general, the second ionization energy is higher than the first ionization energy of an element. The first ionization energies of the elements of one period increase from the left to the right  across the periodic table. According to the elements of main group, the first ionization energies  generally decreases from top to bottom across the periodic table.

Give the names and symbols of three<br> elements that are gases at room temperature.
umka21 [38]

Helium gas: He

Hydrogen gas: H₂

Oxygen gas: O₂

Explanation:

Gases can exist at room temperature in monoatomic form or sometimes as polyatomic molecules.

A wide range of elements exists as gases at room temperature. Most of their molecules have covalent bonds between their atoms which ensures that they are stable.

Other examples are:

  • Argon gas     Ar
  • Neon gas      Ne
  • Bromine gas   Br₂
  • Nitrogen gas    N₂
