well if you remember from the other problems, gamma rays were on the EM spectrum so can you think of a more fitting description than A?

zarkam21:

D

zarkam21:

i think

Vocaloid:

yeah (got interrupted by something whoops)

Not sure about this

Vocaloid:

the top "row" and the bottom row have to balance so 85 = 0 + ___ 35 = -1 + ___ fill in the two blanks, those become the mass number and atomic number of the missing element, then you'd use the bottom number to find what the element is

zarkam21:

85 36

Vocaloid:

good, so what element would correspond to 36?

zarkam21:

C

Vocaloid:

atomic # 36 is Krypton not Bromine

zarkam21:

35

zarkam21:

is the atomic numnerfo Bromine

Vocaloid:

after beta decay the identity of the element changes the element that goes into the (?) place has an atomic # of 36 as determined by our previous calculations to balance the equation so 36 gives us Krypton|dw:1526762585957:dw|

zarkam21:

so either a and b

zarkam21:

becuase it needsto equal

Vocaloid:

so according to our previous calculations, we determined that the number on top must be 85 and the number on the bottom is 36 looking at the ptable gives us atomic number 36 as krypton 85 Kr 36 answer choice D

zarkam21:

Right, ugh im sorry so overwhelmed i cant even think straight
