When most radioactive atoms “spontaneously” decay to a more stable form the “additional” energy is converted to radiation with the emission of radioactive particles.
<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>
Radioactivity is the spontaneous decay of the nucleus of an atom with the emission of radiation and nuclear particles.
Elements that spontaneously decay are called radioactive elements.
When these radioactive elements decay, they form more stable isotopes or elements.
The spontaneous decay of atoms of radioactive elements is in order for the nucleus of the atom to become stable and non-radioactive.

The hypothesis is that salt water freezes faster than fresh water.
The dependent variable is time taken for ice to appear.
The independent variable is presence or absence of salt
The constants are the amount of water in each tray, freezing conditions and length of time of exposure to freezing condition.
The control group is the tray to which salt was not added
The experimental group is the tray to which salt was added
The presence of solutes in a solution causes the freezing point depression.
A solution is made up of a solute and a solvent. In the presence of a solute, the freezing point of a pure solvent is decreased. This is because freezing point is a colligative property.
Colligative properties depend on the amount of solute present.
Hence, the pure water freezes faster (ice begin to appear earlier) than the salt water.
The hypothesis put forward in this experiment was found to be invalid by the experiment.

Answer:
A) 0 °C, because it is the melting point of ice.
Explanation:
- Point B is the temperature at which the water is converted from ice (solid phase) to liquid water (liquid phase), which is the melting transition of water.
Melting point of the water is at 0.0°C.
<em>So, the right choice is: A) 0 °C, because it is the melting point of ice. </em>

Quantitative measurements are numerical values, they involve amounts and units like measuring things. Qualitative observations appeal to the five senses, like what does the interaction look and sound like
