Protons cannot be lost without the atoms becoming an entirely different element. Elements can infact have different numbers of neutrons within the same element, but neutrons are not related to the electrical charge. The answer is c. electrons.
Electrons allow for chemical bonds to form.
Answer:
rocks heat up and slowly turn into magma
Answer:
93.33%
Explanation:
Thorium is a radioactive element with a molecular weight of 232g/mol. Thorium is very stable and can have 14.05 billion years of half-life period. Every half-life passed, the parent compound mass will be decayed by half. If the age of the rock is 1.4 billion years, then the amount of the parent compound will be:r = ½^(time elapsed/half-life)
r = ½^(1.4bil years/14.05 bil years)
r = ½^(0.0996)= 0.9333
r= 93.33%
The rock will have 93.33% of the parent compound and 6.67% of the decayed compound.
