(a)
Interpretation:
Whether
Concept Introduction:
A nucleus is unstable if the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons is not equal. In such cases, it will dissociate to smaller fragments that is stable and in the process releases alpha, beta or gamma particles. If the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons is less or equal to 1, then positron is released and if the ratio is more than 1 then beta particle is released.
(b)
Whether
Concept Introduction:
A radioactive decay takes place when the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons is not equal in a nucleus and is considered unstable. In such cases, there is dissociation to smaller fragments to make them stable with the release of alpha, beta or gamma particles. If the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons is more than 1 then beta particle is released and if less than 1, then positron is released.
(c)
Whether
Concept Introduction:
If the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons in unstable nucleus is not equal, it undergoes dissociation to give smaller stable fragments releasing alpha, beta or gamma particles. If the ratio of number of protons to number of neutrons is less or equal to 1, then positron is released and if the ratio is more than 1 then beta particle is released.

Whether

- Can I get some help with my arrows? I have included what the final outcome needs to look like. #3arrow_forwardPlease explain how to calculate the pH.arrow_forwardI'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!arrow_forward
