Answer:
A.reduce by 4.
Explanation:
In Chemistry, an alpha particle which is typically a helium nucleus has an atomic mass (number of nucleons) of four (4). Therefore, the ejection of an alpha particle by any chemical element simply means that, the mass number of that particular chemical element would be reduced by four (4).
Basically, this process is referred to as an alpha decay and can be defined as a radioactive disintegration of a chemical element that causes it to emit an alpha particle and as a result reducing its mass number by four (4).
Hence, when an element ejects an alpha particle, the mass number of that element reduces by 4.
Answer: C. electricity and magnetism
Explanation:
Hey,
Storage of energy is known as potential energy. If you take a spring for example, and you stretch it then you hold it, it has the energy you put into it but it is potential since it's not moving. Of course once you let go of it its potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
There are other examples as well, such as a battery. I decided to use the spring example because it is simpler.
I hope it helped.
I wrote all that^.
