When Iodine-131 emits a β particle will produce Xe-131

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,

alpha α particles ₂He⁴
beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
gamma particles ₀γ⁰
positron particles ₁e⁰
neutron ₀n¹

So for reaction Iodine-131 :

$\tt _{53}^{131}I\rightarrow _{-1}^0\beta +_{54}^{131}Xe$

Upon heating a copper sample will expand, leading to a lower density? <br><br>A) True<br>B) False

Leona [35]

Answer;

The above statement is true

upon heating a copper sample will expand, leading to a lower density

Explanation;

-The density of solids decreased with increase in temperature and vice versa. The increase in temperature causes the volume of the solid to increase which as a result decreases the density as Density=Mass/Volume. The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it.

In other words; The temperature of a body is the average kinetic energy of the molecules present in it. Therefore; when heat is supplied ( or temperature is increased) the average kinetic energy increases which increases the volume and thus density decreases.
