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.

Every atom tends to form configuration of noble gas , with the 8 electrons in valence shell.
The original options for this question were cleavage, luster and hardness. The answer would be cleavage.
Answer:
Heat flows from the block at high temperature to the one with lower temperature
Explanation:
The direction of heat flow is from a body at higher temperature to one with a lower temperature.
- Temperature gradient determines the way and manner in which heat is dissipated.
- As a system tend to increase entropy, it ensures that heat moves from hotter body to a colder body.
- Heat movement here is by conduction as the body touches.
- When both bodies reaches the same temperature, thermal equilibrium is established.
