A scientist notices that a lump of niobium is warm to the touch and wonders if nuclear reactions are taking place in the metal.

How can she find out?
Measure the metal’s temperature.
Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.
Look for the presence of niobium compounds.

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.

How many carbon atoms are represented by the model below<br><br> A) 0<br> B) 3<br> C) 2<br> D) 1
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Option (B) 3.

Explanation:

In the model represented above, the two extreme represent carbon atoms since no other group are attached to it. The joint at the middle also represent carbon atom.

Thus, we can write a more simplify illustration for the model above as

C—C—C

From the above illustration, we can see that the model contains 3 carbon atom.
