What happens in the process of beta decay? a. a neutron transforms into a proton and an electron. b. a proton transforms into a neutron and an electron. c. a neutron and an electron combine to make a proton. d. a proton and an electron combine to make a neutron.

A. A neutron transforms into a proton and an electron.

Explanation:

Yes, this is what happens in β decay.

The proton stays in the nucleus and increases the atomic number by one, and the electron is ejected from the nucleus.

B is wrong. This is impossible because charge is not conserved. You can’t convert a positive particle into a negative particle.

C is wrong. Again, this is impossible because charge is not conserved.

D is wrong. Charge is conserved, but this is the process of electron capture.

2h2o2--> 2h2o + o2

this reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen.

add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. since oxygen is naturally diatomic, the total number of atoms of each element is now the same on both sides of the equation so it is balanced.

this may not be entirely correct but let me know.

i'm wiling to try and you : )
