Answer;

-Copper (Cu)

Explanation;

-While all metals can conduct electricity, certain metals are more commonly used due to being highly conductive. The most common example is Copper. It is highly conductive which is why it is has been used in electrical wiring.

-Copper is used for electrical wiring because it is a good conductor of electricity. Metal particles are held together by strong metallic bonds, which is why they have high melting and boiling points. The free electrons in metals can move through the metal, allowing metals to conduct electricity.

<span>B) Cu Copper is the best metal to use in an alloy because it has the highest electrical conductivity rating of all non-precious metals due to the arrangement of its electrons. They are easily excited and can easily carry an electoral charge.</span>

Which isotope will spontaneously decay and emit particles with a charge of +2?

VikaD [51]

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$
