Interpretation:
The way by which
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses it energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
(b)
Interpretation:
The way by which atomic number and mass number of daughter nuclei compare with the original nuclei after a beta particle emission is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses it energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
(c)
Interpretation:
The way by which atomic number and mass number of daughter nuclei compare with the original nuclei after an electron is captured is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses it energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
(d)
Interpretation:
The way by which atomic number and mass number of daughter nuclei compare with the original nuclei after a gamma ray emission is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The radioactive decay is a process which involves the emission of radiation by an unstable atomic nucleus. The atomic nucleus loses it energy during radioactive decay. The process of radioactive decay is spontaneous.
(e)

- Where are the chiral centers in this molecule? Also is this compound meso yes or no?arrow_forwardA mixture of C7H12O2, C9H9OCl, biphenyl and acetone was put together in a gas chromatography tube. Please decide from the GC resutls which correspond to the peak for C7,C9 and biphenyl and explain the reasoning based on GC results. Eliminate unnecessary peaks from Gas Chromatography results.arrow_forwardIs the molecule chiral, meso, or achiral? CI .CH3 H₂C CIarrow_forward
- A mixture of three compounds Phen-A, Acet-B and Rin-C was analyzed using TLC with 1:9 ethanol: hexane as the mobile phase. The TLC plate showed three spots of R, 0.1 and 0.2 and 0.3. Which of the three compounds (Phen-A; Acet-B or Rin-C) would have the highest (Blank 1), middle (Blank 2) and lowest (Blank 3) spot respectively? 0 CH: 0 CH, 0 H.C OH H.CN OH Acet-B Rin-C phen-A A A <arrow_forwardHow many chiral carbons are in the molecule?
