<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is alpha radiation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the given options:

<u>Option 1:</u> Alpha

Alpha decay is defined as the process in which alpha particle is emitted. In this process, a heavier nuclei decays into a lighter nuclei. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units. The released alpha particle is also known as helium nucleus.

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

<u>Option 2:</u> Beta

Beta decay is defined as the process in which beta particle is emitted. In this process, a neutron gets converted to a proton and an electron.  The released beta particle is also known as electron.

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

<u>Option 3:</u> Gamma

Gamma decay is defined as the process in which an unstable nuclei gives off excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process and thus releases \gamma -radiations. These radiations does not carry any charge and are electrically neutral.

_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma

<u>Option 4:</u> Isotope

Isotope is defined as the chemical specie which belong to the same element but differ in their molecular mass.

Hence, the correct answer is alpha radiation.

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the first choice or letter A "<span>The chemical bonds of the products have more energy than the chemical bonds of the reactants."
</span>
The term endothermic<span> process describes a process or </span>reaction<span> in which the system absorbs energy from its surroundings; usually, but not always, in the form of heat.</span>

Calculate the atomic mass of silicon. The three silicon isotopes have atomic masses and relative abundances of 27.9769 amu (92.2
Kamila [148]
The atomic mass would be 28.08535 amu. Multiply 27.9769 by .92297 = 25.803. Multiply 28.9765 by .046832 to get 1.357. Multiply 29.9738 by .03872 to get .925351136. Add 25.803 + 1.357 + .03872 to get 28.08535 amu

How do you think a country's GDP affects its citizen ability to consume
Aliun [14]
<span>The larger the GDP the better the overall economy of the country. It means more produced equals more for domestic consumption and hopefully an excess for export. It is essentially the production of wealth that will increase the standard of living for every citizen. Remember, GDP is the measure of the value of the gross domestic production of goods and services.</span>
