Answer: option D - The total number of nucleons changes.
Explanation:
Nuclear Reaction is best described as a process such as the fission of an atomic nucleus, or the fusion of one or more atomic nuclei and / or subatomic particles in which the NUMBER of PROTONS and / or NEUTRONS in a nucleus CHANGES; the reaction products may contain a different element or a different isotope of the same element.
Note that the NUCLEONS refers to ONE of the subatomic particles of the atomic nucleus, i.e. a PROTON or a NEUTRON.
So, in a Nuclear reaction, the total number of nucleons changes.
Answer:
So sorry if I was wrong but I think it's B. Because from the source states,
https://socratic.org/questions/which-group-on-the-periodic-table-is-the-least-reactive-why
"The least reactive elements are those who have a full outermost valence shell ie they have 8 electrons in the outer shell so elements such as helium, neon, radon or the transition elements."
Photosynthesis is the process where plants create energy. It requires water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. The end result is glucose, which the plants consume, and oxygen. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose. The end result is carbon dioxide, ATP, and water.
Yes, the atomic radius increases as you move down a group of elements.
this is true
going down leads to valence electrons that are further away from nucleus -> less electrostatic attraction -> less pull towards nuc. -> greater radius/volume taken
Answer:
the mass number of the atom or ion is 6
