Answer:
Explanation:
When the nucleus of an <em>atom captures and electron</em>, such electron combines with a proton and forms a neutron. Thus, the mass number remains the same (just a proton has been converted into a neutron) but the atomic number (the number of protons) decrease in one.
Then, the daughter nuclide will have the same mass number and the atomic number reduced in one.
The given parent isotope is 
, which means that it has these features:
- Name of the element: chlorine
- Mass number (the superscript to the left): 35
- Atomic number (the subscript to the left): 17
And the daughter nuclide after the electron capture will be:
- Mass number: 35 (the same of the parent nuclide)
- Atomic number: 17 - 1 = 16
- Identity: sulfur (search the element with atomic number 16 in a periodic table).
- Idenity of the daughter nuclide using the isotope notation:
Hence, the answer is the third choice.

Explanation:
When a substance is heated, its average kinetic energy increases as the molecules move faster owing to the supply of energy. The solvent molecules are able to collide more frequently with the solute molecules and dislodge them so that the solute can dissolve in the solvent.
However, when a gaseous solute is dissolved in a liquid; as the temperature is increased and solvent molecules are able to collide more frequently with the solute molecules and dislodge them, gas molecules dissolved in the liquid are more likely to escape to the gas phase and not return due to the increase in their kinetic energy.
Hence, solubility of gas solutes in water decreases as temperature increases.
Answer:
a) 2 (H+) ions
b) 1 (SO3²-) ions
c) 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
Explanation:
According to this question, sulfurous acid has a chemical formula; H2SO3. It is made up of hydrogen and sulfite ion. Hydrogen ion (H+) is the cation while sulfite ion (SO32-) is the anion.
Based on the chemical formula, there are 2 moles of hydrogen ions that reacts with 1 mole of sulfite ion as follows:
2H+ + SO3²- → H2SO3
Hence;
- there are 2 hydrogen ions (2H+) present in H2SO3.
- there is 1 sulfite ion (SO3²-) present in H2SO3.
c) The mass of one formula unit of H2SO3 is calculated thus:
= 1.008 (2) + 32.065 + 15.999(3)
= 2.016 + 32.065 + 47.997
= 82.08 a.m.u
Since, 1 gram is = 6.02 x 10^23 a.m.u
82.08 a.m.u = 82.08/6.02 × 10^-23
= 13.6 × 10^-23
= 1.36 × 10^-22 grams.
Answer:
The Bohr Model is very limited in terms of size. Poor spectral predictions are obtained when larger atoms are in question. It cannot predict the relative intensities of spectral lines. It does not explain the Zeeman Effect, when the spectral line is split into several components in the presence of a magnetic field.
Explanation:
All scientists try to base their conclusions on data and measurements.
