Trees and forest play an important role in balancing the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis where plants make their own food with carbon dioxide, using energy from the sunlight. Therefore, deforestation (cutting down of trees) has an effect on the carbon cycle also the greenhouse gas effect and global warming. Deforestation reduces the removal component of this cycle, thus, increasing the carbon dioxide in the air.
Fishes yes according to the age, reptiles yes
Fluorine 20 (F - Atomic number 9 and atomic mass 20). Firstly we need to know what is beta decay. Beta decay occurs when one neutron changes into a proton and an electron therefore the atomic mass will remain the same as even though we loose a neutron it is replaced by a proton, the atomic number is always raised by 1 when one beta decay occurs. The produced electron is shot out of the nucleus at an incredible speed. This speedy electron we call a beta particle.
Ok now the reaction.
20 20 0
F -> Ne + e
9 10 -1
Remember the atomic number determines the nature of the element ( i.e what elemnt it is).
Hope this helps :).
