Sergio [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, it contains gwo protons and two neutrons. So, alpha decay, giving off an alpha particle, does the following:

1)reduces the atomic number (number of just protons) by two. Plutonium has atomic number of 94, take two protons away and you are left with 92 which corresponds to uranium.

2) reduces the mass number (protons plus neutrons) by 4. If you start with 239 and subtract two protons and two neutrons, you are left with 235.

14. The Aurora is an incredible light show caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere and collide with gases such as oxygen and nitrogen. The lights are seen around the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres.

15.
About 5.4 billion years from now, the sun will have exhausted all of its hydrogen. The sun's core will get really hot and dense, thus shrinking; however, the outer region of the sun will expand and grow. ... Even if the expanding dying sun doesn't reach Earth, the sun's high temperatures will completely burn the planet.
