Increasing every day. in 2013, we had about 7.125 Billion. in 9160, we had closer to 3 billion. It is still on a pretty steady clime today.
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For A:</u> The equation is 
<u>For B:</u> The equation is 
<u>For C:</u> The equation is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

<u>For A:</u> Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:

<u>For B:</u> Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:

<u>For C:</u> Thorium-239 emits a beta particle
The nuclear equation for this process follows:

Answer:
A - NaCl is a product
D - Cl2 is a gas
Explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction;
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl2
- Sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Sodium is in solid state, chlorine is in gaseous state and Sodium chloride is in solid state.
- In the chemical reaction, sodium and chlorine are reactants while sodium chloride is the product.
- Additionally the chemical reaction above is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
The answer is <span>non-biodegradable and subject to bioaccumulation and/or bioamplification.
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is persistent, non-degradable insecticide and organic pollutant readily accumulated to soils and consequently affects organisms.
DDE (</span><span>dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) is non-degradable pesticide toxic to birds at the first place.
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are non-degradable organic compounds very toxic to the environment.
PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) are non-degradable compounds very toxic to environment, even able to affect brains of animals in the development period.</span>
