Answer:

When an atoms has too many neutrons.

Explanation:

When an unstable atom loses energy and charged particles (radiation) through radiation it is a phenomenon called radioactive decay, when a substantial energy is lost the atom becomes stable.There are five types of radioactive decay:

  1. Alpha decay
  2. Beta negative decay
  3. Gamma decay
  4. Beta positive decay
  5. Electron capture

Radioactivity or radioactive decay is the process that occurs when unstable isotopes or atoms release energy by emitting radiations such as ,gamma radiations, alpha radiations and beta radiations to attain stability. Therefore, in this case decay is likely to occur when a given atom has two many neutrons in its nucleus in order to attain stability.

Why do a car's tires need more air in the winter than they do in the summer?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In winter's, temperature of atmosphere is low and due to this molecules of air present in the tire come closer to each other as they gain potential energy and loses kinetic energy.

Hence, air pressure decreases and there is need to fill more air in the tire.

Whereas is summer's, temperature is high so, molecules of air inside the tire gain kinetic energy and move rapidly from one place to another due to number of collisions. So, air pressure increases and there is no need to fill more air inside the tire.

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature is lower, so the air inside the tires contracts.
