Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.

Answer:
Option a is the right one
Explanation:
Redox reactions are defined as the reactions where one element is oxidized (so the oxidation state is increased); and another element is reduced (oxidation state decreases). These changes in the oxidations states are defined by a transference of electrons.
When the oxidation state decrease → reduction → the element gains electrons
When the oxidation state increase → oxidation → the element release electrons
Use the 1st order decay equation
<span><span>Cfinal</span>=<span>Cinitial</span><span>e<span>−kt</span></span></span>
by filling in and doing the math you will get:
<span> </span><span>Cfinal</span><span> = 1.11 grams Rn-222 after 23 days.
hope this helps
