Answer:
b. Beta emission, beta emission
Explanation:
A factor to consider when deciding whether a particular nuclide will undergo this or that type of radioactive decay is to consider its neutron:proton ratio (N/P).
Now let us look at the N/P ratio of each atom;
For B-13, there are 8 neutrons and five protons N/P ratio = 8/5 = 1.6
For Au-188 there are 109 neutrons and 79 protons N/P ratio = 109/79=1.4
For B-13, the N/P ratio lies beyond the belt of stability hence it undergoes beta emission to decrease its N/P ratio.
For Au-188, its N/P ratio also lies above the belt of stability which is 1:1 hence it also undergoes beta emission in order to attain a lower N/P ratio.
Answer:
Law of conservation of mass
Ernest Rutherford
Explanation:
The basic law of behavior of matter that states that "mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction or physical change".
This is the law of conservation of mass. It is very essential in understanding most chemical reaction. Also, in quantitative analysis, this law is pivotal.
Ernest Rutherford was the scientist that stated that the nucleus is made up of positive charge. It was not until James Chadwick in 1932 discovered the neutron that we had an understanding of this nuclear component.
Rutherford surmised from his experiment that because most the alpha particles passed through the thin Gold foil and just a tiny fraction was deflected back, the atom is made is made up of small nucleus that is positively charged.

The first reason to repeat experiments is simply to verify results. Different science disciplines have different criteria for determining what good results are. Biological assays, for example must be done in at least triplicate to generate acceptable data. Science is built on the assumption that published experimental protocols are repeatable.
2) The next reason to repeat experiments is to develop skills necessary to extend established methods and develop new experiments. “Practice make perfect” is true for the concert hall and the chemical laboratory.
3) Refining experimental observations is another reason to repeat. Maybe you did not follow the progress of the reaction like you should have.
4) Another reason to repeat experiments is to study and/or improve them in way. In the synthetic chemistry laboratory, for example, there is always a desire to improve the yield of a synthetic step. Will certain changes in the experimental conditions lead to a better yield? The only way to find out is to try it! The scientific method informs us that it is best to only make one change at a time.
5) The final reason to repeat an extraction, chromatographic or synthetic protocol is to produce more of your target substance. This is sometimes referred to scale-up.
