In an alpha decay, an atom emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons: this means that during this kind of decay, the original atom loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons from its nucleus.
This also means that the atomic number Z of the element (the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus) decreases by 2 units in the process, while the mass number A (the mass number is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons) decreases by 4 units.
Answer:
It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.
Explanation:
The minimum number of tickets that could admit all of them is six (6).
This thing is impossible to explain in words, so I shall attempt it with a diagram:
Here are the six ladies:
( A ) ( B )
| |
| |
( C ) ( D )
| |
| |
( E ) ( F )
-- 'E' and 'F' are the daughters of 'C' and 'D' .
-- 'C' and 'D' are the daughters of 'A' and 'B' .
So look what we have now:
-- 'A' and 'B' are the mothers of 'C' and 'D' .
There's 2 of the mothers.
-- 'C' and 'D' are the mothers of 'E' and 'F' .
There's the OTHER 2 mothers.
-- 'A' and 'B' are the grandmothers of 'E' and 'F' .
There's the 2 grandmothers.
-- 'E' and 'F' are the daughters of 'C' and 'D' .
There's 2 of the daughters.
-- 'C' and 'D' are the daughters of 'A' and 'B' .
There's the OTHER 2 daughters.
You want to know what ? !
The group is even bigger than THAT.
There are also 2 GRAND-daughters in the family ... 'E' and 'F' .
So now you have a list of 12 people ! ... 4 mothers, 2 grandmothers,
4 daughters, and 2 grand-daughters ... and they all get in to the
Christmas Market with only six tickets. Legally !
Such a deal !
Don't forget : Christmas this year is also the first day of Chanukah !
All for the same price !
Answer:Explained below.
Explanation:
Uranus rings is made up of jet black, coal-like particles in small bands, making them difficult to perceive from Earth.This indicates that they are probably composed of a mixture of the ice and a dark material. The nature of material is dismal, but it might be some organic compounds greatly darkened by the charged particle irradiation from the Uranian magnetosphere. Rings were discovered by using a infrared telescope throughout the occultation of a star as Uranus passed in front of it. The light from the star dimmed many times before it was obstructed by the disk of Uranus and subsequently, showing the presence of various distinct rings.
