Answer:
1. Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons.
Explanation:
Alpha particles are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, a radio active decay in which an atom loses an helium atom.
AN alpha particle is identical to the helium particle. The helium particle has mass number of 4 and atomic number of 2. This means;
Number of protons = 2
Number of neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 2
The correct option is option 1.
A) GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements
Explanation:
The most recent evidence supporting the theory of plate tectonics is the use of GPS monitoring and satellite imagery of crustal movements.
GPS denotes Global Positioning Systems.
Satellite imagery is a recent advancement in the study of moving plates.
- The global positioning system uses the position of a system of satellites in space to delineate positions on earth.
- It works on the principles of triangulation and this helps to fix positions of objects on the earth surface.
- With this, the change in position of the plates can be recorded by known fixed positions of objects.
- Satellite imagery helps to map changes in terrain with time.
- Images can be correlated through time and the shift in terrains delineated.

Answer:
A solid, since it is the only type of matter that has definite volume and shape.
Thomson used a beam of negatively charged particles. Using a beam of particles and detecting the scattering of the particles after they hit gold foil.
Answer: No
Explanation:
Firstly, the molar mass of the dissolved solid is not given. This is necessary to calculate the number of moles present in solution. Secondly, solubility always has to do with temperature and the specified temperature is 27°c and not 21°c. This makes it impossible to calculate the solubility at 21°c. Further information must supplied before the solubility at 21°c can be accurately calculated.
