Explanation:

Viruses are classified as non-living due to several reasons:

  • <em>They don't have a reproductive equipment,</em> they need to use the host's cell one in order to replicate.
  • <em>They can't self-divide</em>, they also need the host's cell equipment to do so.
  • <em>They don't need energy to survive</em>, they can exist for long periods until they find the correct host cell

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

igomit [66]
The answer is <span>the atomic number and the mass number will decrease.
</span>
When atoms undergo radioactive decay, alpha particles release.

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons. So, mass is 4 (2+2) amu^{4} _2 \alpha<span>.
When an atom of emits an alpha particle, its atomic number will be reduced by 2 and a mass number will be reduced by 4:</span>

 ^{A}_ZX →  ^{A-4}_{Z-2}X + ^{4}_{2}  \alpha<span>
