Chapter 16, Problem 80CP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced nuclear equation for each of the given radioactive emissions needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • The nuclear reaction is a process where the nucleus of the atoms or the subatomic particles are combined or modified. In this process the nucleus can be combined or fragmented, absorbing or releasing particles and energy.
  • To balance the nuclear equation, we must follow two rules. The sum of the atomic number and the mass number must to be equal on the both side of the equation.

Please explain how to calculate the pH.
I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now. Thanks!
