What happens during alpha decay?

Back

During alpha decay, an atomic nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons, resulting in a new element.

Front

What is the effect of alpha decay on the atomic number?

Back

The atomic number decreases by 2 due to the loss of two protons.

Front

What is pH?

Back

pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution, indicating its acidity or alkalinity.

Front

Which substance has the highest hydrogen ion concentration?

Back

A substance with a pH of 1 has the highest hydrogen ion concentration.

Front

What is a single replacement reaction?

Back

A single replacement reaction is a type of chemical reaction where one element replaces another in a compound.

Front

Identify the equation for a single replacement reaction: A + BC -> AC + B.

Back

This equation represents a single replacement reaction.

Front

How do metal atoms typically form ions?

Back
