For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
A. zero
B. minus 1
C. minus 2
D. minus 3
For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha, Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. Suppose that a certain radioIsotope could emit TWO alpha particles, and its product (daughter nucleus) could then emit ONE beta-minus particle. The atomic number of the resulting element would be changed by
A. zero
B. minus 1
C. minus 2
D. minus 3
PROBLEM SOLVING: Express your answer to the fourth decimal places. Show complete solution.
Box your final answer.
