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.
The correct option is B.
As we are told in the question, the cabbage and broccoli grow best in clay soil. From the options we are given, it can be seen that it is only option B that has the highest amount of clay soil. The soil that will be used should be one that has the highest content of clay.
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is:
We can plug in the given values into the equation:
Answer:
V = λ f (wavelength * frequency)
λ = V / f = 343 m/s / 262 / s = 1.3 m
