Answer is: Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.

1) Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

2) Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.

3) During gamma emission the nucleus emits radiation without changing its composition.

Hello,

Your questions states:

During a change of state, the temperature of a substance _____?

In which you gave us some choices:

A. decreases if the arrangement of particles in the substance changes.
B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.
C. increases if the kinetic energy of the particles in the substance increases.
D. increases during melting and vaporization and decreases during freezing and condensation.

Your answer would be:

B. remains constant until the change of state is complete.

Your explanation/Reasoning:

It absorbs the energy, then after the phase changes it then increases the temperature all over again.

Have a nice day:)

Hope this helps!
