Gains. when theres a neutral atom it has an equal number protons and electrons(they all cancel which is what makes it neutral) so when it gains an electron there’s 1 more negative that doesn’t cancel so it changes the charge to negative.

Answer:

Gains

Explanation:

If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.

Hope this helps :)

Consider the nuclear equation below. 222/66Rn-->218/?Po+4/2He Which is the missing value that will balance the equation? 84 8

erastovalidia [21]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The nuclear equation shows the decay of Radon-222 by emitting an alpha particle to form polonium-218.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha-decay, the mass number is decreased by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
Therefore, the complete nuclear equation is;

²²²₈₆Rn → ²¹⁸₈₄Po + ⁴₂He

The atomic number of Radon-222 decreases from 86 to 84 while the mass number decreases from 222 to 218, forming polonium-218.

3.5
9
24.7
8.01
0.006
13(1.25×1012=12.65)

Explanation:

Above we have simply looked the condition that where we put decimal point that gives your needed answer after round off.

For example:

we have to make 2 s.f from 345 so we kept decimal after 3 and we rounded off to make 3.5 from 3.45

Hope you got it
