Answer:

Alpha decay is a type of radioactive disintegration in which unstable atomic nucleus releases a helium nucleus or alpha particle and transform into a different element. The new element formed will be reduced by four and the atomic number will be reduced by two.

Forces between similar molecules are said to be
podryga [215]

Answer:

Forces between similar molecules are said to be <em>cohesive</em> while those between different types of molecules are said to be <em>adhesive</em>.

Water 'beads' due to its strong <em>cohesive</em> forces. The meniscus of water in a glass tube is <em>concave</em> because the <em>adhesive</em> forces are strong.

Explanation:

The water in a tube has stronger adhesive forces between the water and glass molecules, so the cohesive forces between water molecules are weaker. That makes the water 'ascend' through the tube, giving a concave form of the meniscus. Another example is mercury, which is the opposite. In this case, the cohesive forces are stronger than the adhesive ones, thus the meniscus is convex.
