Why does magnesium nitrate solution react with zinc nitrate solution, but not magnesium nitrate solution?

When answering this question, you must consider the reactivity series. Mg is much higher than Zn in the reactivity series, therefore it can displace the Zn from the solution - displacement reaction.

It seems odd that you'd react Magnesium nitrate with zinc nitrate. Maybe you meant magnesium with zinc nitrate or vice Versa. Because in your case each compound would remain as it is as both Mg and Zn are happy in a relatively stable compound.

As for magnesium nitrate and magnesium nitrate, you cannot achieve a reaction between two substances that are the same. The same applies for Mg and magnesium nitrate. No displacement happens.

Hope it helps!

During radioactive decay, the __________ isotope decays into a ____________ isotope that has a different ___________________ num
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer: Please find answer in explanation column

Explanation:

During radioactive decay, the __unstable ________ isotope decays into a _stable ___________ isotope that has a different ____proton _______________ number

Or

During radioactive decay, the _ unstable parent nuclide ________ isotope decays into a _stable daughter nuclide ___________ isotope that has a different ____proton _______________ number.

There are 3 types of radioactive decay;alpha, beta and gamma, Of which the above clearly explains the beta decay. In beta decay, the unstable isotope having excess neutrons  will undergo a beta decay emitting a beta particle.( ⁰₋₁e) causing the nucleus to loose a neutron but gain a proton.

Some heavy unstable isotopes which undergo radioactive (beta decay ) to become stable isotopes  are phosphorus-32, strontium-90, iodine-131

Using Strontium 90 as an example , we have

⁹⁰₃₈St ----->⁹⁰₃₉Y + ⁰₋₁e

Strontium an unstable isotope undergoes a beta radioactive decay to form Yttrium.
