Production of an Odor: there is a smell of burnt paper
Change in Temperature: combustion is a highly exothermic reaction , so the temperature increase
Change in Color: paper changes to ashes as the burning process occurs
<span>Of the answers listed option B looks like the most complete. Ie "Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles." the significant presence of these particles is a specific indicator of radioactive decay, i.e: unstable atoms spontaneously undergoing a nuclear reaction.</span>
I think the correct answer among the choices presented above is option C. The <span>atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the number of protons in the nucleus. For a neutral atom, it is also the number of electrons since in a neutral atom protons and electrons are present in equal number.</span>
