The isotope that is being produced when tungsten-179 absorbs an electron is called Tantalum(Ta).

Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons but with a different mass number.

In radioisotopes, isotopes can be radioactive in nature and are formed by the absorption of an electron via -beta particle formation.

Tungsten is an atomic element with an atomic number 74 and a chemical symbol W, when tungsten-179 absorbs an electron, Tantalum (Ta) is formed.

i.e.

$\mathbf{^{179}_{74}W + \ ^{0}_{-1}e \to ^{179}_{73}Ta }$

Therefore, we can conclude that the isotope produced when tungsten-179 absorbs an electron is Tantalum(Ta).

What determines the amount of chemical energy a substance has?

sveta [45]

The amount of chemical energy a substance has is influenced by its structure and the bond the substance has.

Some bond is release energy when broken, other bond need some energy to break. The structure will also influence the chemical energy.
One of substance with high chemical energy is adenosine triphosphate which was used as energy source in a living organism. The phosphate bond in this molecule worth about 30.5 kJ/moles
