Answer:
nucleus
Alpha particles are subatomic fragments consisting of two neutrons and two protons. Alpha radiation occurs when the nucleus of an atom becomes unstable (the ratio of neutrons to protons is too low) and alpha particles are emitted to restore balance.
Explanation:
The smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound is an atom.
A physical property is what a substance is like; it's directly observable. On the other hand, a chemical property is how a substance behaves; its reactivity.
Examples of a physical property are: color, texture, boiling point, freezing point, and melting point.
Examples of a chemical property are: flammability, combustion, and formation of a precipitate.
All of these are compounds except oxygen because a compound is two or more different elements bonded together.
