Answer:
Positron emission
Explanation:
Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.
A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Transmutation involves the conversion of one chemical element into another chemical element. This change occurs when an element or isotope passes through a number of reactions. It is a natural process and happens when there is a radioactive decay.
Hence, it is also a nuclear change as it occurs when there is a change in the nucleus of an atom. As this change can be due to the nuclear decay so as a result there will be some change in energy also. It is the process where one element converts into another using bombardment with high energy particles.
Thus, we can conclude that transmutation involves is a nuclear change.
Answer : Option D) Paint Supplies.
Explanation : The paint is usually the major common household toxins, which contains benzene in it. Benzene being carcinogenic in nature is very harmful to humans.
