Answer 1: The electron is a subatomic particle that has a negative charge. Electron cannot be sub-divided further. An electron has a mass that ia ~ 1/1836 that of the proton.
The positron is also refereed as an antielectron. The positron has the charge of +1e, a spin of 1⁄2. The similarity between positron and electron is that they have same mass.
Answer 2: <span>Positron decay occurs in nuclei having heavy mass. Positron emission decreases proton number relative to the neutron number. Positron also exhibits nuclear transmutation thereby producing an atom of a different element, as compared to parent element,. Them atomic number of daughter element is less as compared to parent element by 1.
Example: </span><span><span>23 12</span>Mg </span><span>→ </span><span><span>23 11</span>Na </span><span> + </span><span>e+ </span><span>+ energy
</span><span>
Answer 3: </span><span>Electron capture is also referred as </span>K-electron capture. It <span>involves absorption of energy, thereby resulting in loss of electron usually from K or L shell. In this process,following thing occurs simultaneously
i) a nuclear proton present in nuclei changes to a neutron, after reacting with an electron which falls into the nucleus from one of its orbitals (preferentially from K or L)
2) Emission of an electron neutrino.
Following is an example of K-electron capture.
7 4Be + 0 -1e </span>→ 7 3Li + energy
Answer 4: Following are the distinct features of <span>transmutations caused by positron emissions and electron capture.
i) Positron: </span><span>A proton get converted into neutron due to radio-active process. This process results in the emission of positron and neutrino. The<span> process results in decrease in atomic number by one unit, and however atomic mass number remains unchanged.
ii) Electron capture: </span></span><span>A electron from the low energy level (K-shell or L-shell) falls into the nucleus. Due to this proton is converted into neutron. During this process, neutrino is emitted from the nucleus. As seen in positron emission, t<span>he atomic number goes down by one unit, but atomic mass number remains unchanged.</span></span>

Everyday, ever hour and so on the weather changes, when looking at the weather on an app or website, the weather is defined by the conditions at a certain time. Hope this helps!
Almost 30 years after the clean water act was passed in the US, the percentage of surface water considered safe for fishing and swimming had increased from 36% to 60% which is almost twice the original value. Certain programs and policies were implemented as part of the act.
An acidic solution would turn a blue litmus paper red due to the mobile and free hydrogen (H+) ions. These hydrogen ions affect the colour property of the litmus papers and thus the colour change. A litmus paper dropped into a solution of hydrogen ions turns red to indicate that the solution is acidic.
Answer:
2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2
The coefficients are 2, 2, 3
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following equation:
KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2
The above equation can be balance as follow:
There are 2 atoms of K on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of KClO3 as shown below:
2KClO3 —> 2KCl + 3O2
Now, the equation is balanced.
Thus, the coefficients are 2, 2, 3
