The most stable elements have an atomic number above 92.

Chemistry

Sergio [31]3 years ago

Answer: b) high binding energy per nucleon

Explanation: Most elements become unstable as their atomic numbers reach/pass the special 92 number. This is due to the imbalance between neutrons and protons in their nucleus. As the number of protons and neutrons increases, the neutron-proton ratio in the nucleus has to increase to offset any instability in the nucleus.

The binding energy per nucleon of an element is the amount of energy required to disassemble the nucleus of an atom into its fundamental components (protons & neutrons). A high binding energy indicates serious difficulties in disassembling an atom's nucleus. Meaning the atom is very stable as the energy to cause it to decompose radioactively is too high.

So, an atom with atomic number higher than 92 would be stable if it has a high binding energy per nucleon.

Describe at least two ways that a researcher can minimize experimental errors in an investigation
snow_tiger [21]
Experimental errors occurs in the execution of experiment design. Example of experimental errors are  mistakes in data entry, systematic error, and random error caused by environmental conditions. Did you even heard about type I and type II error? Because that may be the 2 ways you are looking for.  
A false positive is called a Type I error, and it is the type of error that incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis in the favor of the alternatives.
A false negative is what you called Type II error, it is the opposite of type I error and it is the false acceptance of the null hypothesis. A type II errors are not seen to be as problematic as type I error, type I error is more serious than type II error, because you have wrongly rejected the null hypothesis.
