Answer:

In beta decay, an electron is emitted.

Explanation:

Beta decay is a type of particle decay in which beta radiation is emitted. That is, an unstable nucleon (proton or neutron) emits a beta particle.

There are two forms of decay or beta particles, β - and β +, which respectively emit an electron or a positron.

That is, beta particles are particles of mass and charge equal to the electron (β-) or positrons, whose mass is equal to the electron but of opposite charge (β +) resulting from the transformation of the neutrons or protons of the nucleus when it is found in an excited state.

I'm pretty sure its an electron. I hope this helps! (:

A student made the Lewis dot diagram of a compound as shown. Mg is written with two dots shown on its top. Cl is written on the

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The dots were not properly located and arrows are not used in Lewis structures

Explanation:

If we intend to write a Lewis structure for a compound, that lewis structure must consist of only dots. These dots actually show the valence electrons on the outermost shell of the molecule.

We do not involve arrows when writing dot electron structures for compounds. The valence electrons of magnesium ought not to be written together because they are not a lone pair, rather they are two unpaired electrons. The use of an arrow suggests a coordinate covalent bond which is not the case here.

The correct lewis structure for MgCl2 is shown in the image attached to this answer.
