What is the parent isotope when Cl-33 is formed during a beta decay?

33/16 S

Explanation:

In beta decay, the atomic number of the daughter nucleus increases by one unit while the mass of the daughter nucleus remains the same as that of the parent nucleus.

Hence, if we know that a beta decay has occurred, then the parent nucleus must have the same mass as its daughter nucleus but have an atomic number that is less than that of the daughter nucleus by only one unit, hence the answer above.

b..

is the correct one

explanation:

covalent bonds form as valence electrons are shared between two atoms. lewis structures and structural formulas are common ways of showing the covalent bonding in organic molecules. formal charge describes the changes in the number of valence electrons as an atom becomes bonded into a molecule.
