An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons. :)
A valid Lewis structure of IF3 cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.
Answer: IF3 (Iodine Trifluoride)
This is because, I (Iodine) and F (Fluorine) both have odd number of valence electrons (7) which also means that there are too many valence electrons in the valence shell.
The nuclear reaction occurring is known as alpha-decay, and during this process, an alpha particle is released from a heavy radioactive nucleus to form a lighter more stable nucleus. The alpha particle is equivalent to a helium nucleus, which means it contains 2 protons and two neutrons (net charge of +2)
The decay equation is:
Rn → Po + α
The correct answers are A and C.
