Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown
of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from
the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does
not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>

Zeff = Z - S
Here, Z is the number of protons in the nucleus, that is, atomic number, and S is the number of nonvalence electrons.
For boron, the electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄
Z = 5, S = 2
Zeff = 5-2 = +3
For O, electronic configuration is 1s₂ 2s₂ 2p₄
Z = 8, S = 2
Zeff = 8-2 = +6
Hence, the correct answer is second option, that is, +3 and +6, the Zeff of boron is smaller in comparison to O, thus, boron exhibits a bigger size than O.
HNO3 + Ca —-> H2O + N20 + Ca(NO3)2
Answer:
Explanation:
The term used by particular kind of matter is called substance.
A substance is a particular kind of matter because it has physical properties.
