If uranium-241 lost 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then thorium-237 would be produced. The number beside the element is the mass number which is the sum of protons and neutrons. If uranium would lose 2 protons and 2 neutrons, then the mass number would decrease by 4 making it 237. Looking in a periodic table, thorium is the element which has a mass number of 237.
To answer this question you need to know how to calculate the molecular weight of a molecule. The compound is having 1 Mg atom and 2 Cl atom, thus the molecular weight should be:
24.305+ 2*35.453= <span>95.211 gram/mol.
Then, the mass of 3 mol of MgCl would be:
3 mol * 95.211 gram/mol= 285.633 gram</span>
Explanation:
Claim, Evidence, Reasoning (CER) model, an explanation consists of: A claim that answers the question. Evidence from students' data. Reasoning that involves a rule or scientific principle that describes why the evidence supports the claim.
Answer: has zero mass
is an electron
has a -1 charge
is electromagnetic energy
Explanation:
A beta-particle is an electron emitted from the nucleus of an atom following the decay of a neutron into a proton. Beta rays are deflected by a magnetic field in a direction that indicates a negative charge, thus they are electromagnetic in nature.
The beta particle released is basically a electron with -1 charge and no mass.
General representation of beta particle in the form of 
given as 
where,
Z represents Atomic number
A represents Mass number
X represents the symbol of an element
