Chemistry
1 answer:
BaLLatris [955]2 years ago
7 0

Instability

Explanation:

Isotopes decays because they are unstable. Stable isotopes do not decay.

  • For every atomic nucleus, there is a specific neutron/proton ratio.
  • This ratio ensure that a nuclide is stable.
  • For example, fluorine F, is 10/9 stable.
  • Any nucleus with a neutron/proton combination different from its stability ratio either too many neutrons or too many protons will become unstable.
  • Such nuclide will split into one or more other nuclei with the emission of small particles of matter and considerable amount of energy.

Shown below is a table with plants and animals with their adaptations.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Desert

Explanation:

The adaptation shown by the given plants and animals shows that they will adapted to the desert biome.

It is so because, due to high temperature of desert some desert animals like camel have the storage of fat in humps or tails; some animals have large ears such as Jackrabbits, it helps to release body heat and adapt in high temperature; plants have thick water holding tissues to reduce water loss in heat and waxy coating that keeps  the plants cooler and reduce moisture loss.

Hence, the correct answer is "Desert".
