Answer:
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay
Explanation:
Step 1
This equation is a nuclear reaction. So it can be an alpha decay or a beta decay
An α-particle is a helium nucleus. It contains 2 protons and 2 neutrons, for a mass number of 4.
During α-decay, an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle. It transforms (or decays) into an atom with an atomic number 2 less and a mass number 4 less.
Thus, radium-226 decays through α-particle emission to form radon-222 according to the equation that is showed.
A Beta decay occurs when, in a nucleus with too many protons or too many neutrons, one of the protons or neutrons is transformed into the other.
Option B is correct. A nuclear alpha decay

Explanation:
Answer:
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
Explanation:
Step 1: Given data
Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.
Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga
Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga
<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the abundance %
⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %
⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %
The mass balance equation will be:
100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69
6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x
72 = 2x
x = 36 %
71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%
69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%
Answer:
According to Coulomb’s law, the Ca and Se ions have 4 times the attractive force (2+ × 2-) than that of the K and Br ions (1+ × 1-).
Explanation:
From Coulomb's law, the attractive force between calcium and selenium ions is four times the attractive force between potassium and bromide ions.
This has something to do with size and magnitude of charge. Calcium ions and selenide ions are smaller and both carry greater charge magnitude than potassium and bromide ions. This paves way for greater electrostatic attraction between them when the distance of the charges apart is minimal. Hence a greater lattice energy.
