A represents atomic mass and 2 represents an atomic number, which of the following describes an atom after a proton is emitted?

A. A-1,2-1

B. A-1,2+1

C. A,2-1

D. A+1,2-1

Answer Explanation:

This is because when a proton is emitted from an atom, the atomic mass decreases by one unit, and the atomic number decreases by one unit. The atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, and the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus. Therefore, if a proton is lost, both numbers decrease by one.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is A.

  • Q #3: Which of the following demonstrates a chemical reaction of water?

    A. Water boils to produce steam at 100° C (252)

    B. Water Dissolves sugar

    C. Water produces gas with sodium metal

    D. Water and all separate when combined

    Answer Explanation

    a. Water boils to produce steam at 100°C - This is a phase change (from liquid to gas) and not a chemical reaction of water.

    b. Water dissolves sugar - This is a physical change, not a chemical reaction of water.

    c. Water produces gas with sodium metal - This reaction involves the chemical reaction of water with sodium metal to produce hydrogen gas.

    d. Water and oil separate when combined - This is a physical separation, not a chemical reaction of water.
