Chapter 2, Problem 1RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The number of neutrons present in oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen.
Introduction:
The smallest unit of an element is called as an atom. An atom is comprised of “protons, neutrons, and electrons”. Each atom present in an element contains all the chemical properties of an element. The whole charge of an atom is neutral, because of the presence of positively charged particles called as proton and negatively charged particles called electrons.

The decay of an isotope element follows a first-order reaction. Assuming that you start with 964 mg of the isotope element sample, after 39.4 hours of decay, you find that there is 275 mg of the sample remaining. What is the half-life time of this reaction?
In one form of nuclear decay, a neutronbreaks down into a proton and electron andemits a gamma ray. Is this an endergonicor exergonic reaction, or neither? Is it ananabolic or catabolic reaction, or neither?Explain both answers.
