CH 8 Review: (Why is it here?)
1. What things can you do to initiate or increase the rate of a reaction?
Add energy, stir, add a catalyst, change ratio of reactants, increase surface area
2. What is a catalyst?
Initiates or speeds up a reaction and is not involved in the reaction
3. Draw Lewis structures to illustrate the reaction on page 1 #12.

4. Why does alpha decay result in the loss in mass of 4 units and change in the
identity of the element?
You lose 2 p+ and 2 no
5. How are electrons produced during beta decay?
no is converted to a p+ and an e-; the electron is ejected from the nucleus.
