D. several because poly means many or lots
Hello! Glad to help.
From what I have learned in my ICP class, molecules combine together to form componds. A compound is any molecule that is made up of two or more different elemental atoms.
Hope this helps you! Anymore questions? Just ask.
In alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element will be different isotope and not the same.
This is because as alpha particles comes out; the new element will have two less in atomic number; that is the atomic number will reduce by two and the mass number will reduce by four. While in a beta particle decay, the new element will have one higher in atomic number; that is the atomic number will increase by one.
Red arrows represent the movement of the mantle due to convection. Black arrows represent the movement of the plates due to gravity. Scientists think that this transfer of thermal energy from core to mantle causes convection in the mantle.
