Mercury-203 undergoes beta minus decay. 203 80 hg → 203 81 tl + ? the subatomic particle produced is a(n) . 203 80 hg → 203 81 tl + 0 -1 e is this the correct balanced equation? .

A negative beta particle

Yes

Explanation:

The incomplete equation of the reaction:

                  ²⁰³₈₀Hg → ²⁰³₈₁Tl + ?

In order to balance nuclear equations, we must conserve the mass number and atomic number.

For the mass number; 203 = 203 + a

                                         a = 0

             Atomic number; 80 = 81 + b

                                           b = -1

The unknown has no mass number but an atomic number of -1

This a  negative beta particle and it is designated as ⁰₋₁e

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
