Chapter 1, Problem 10QQ
Choose the best answer to each of the following. Explain your reasoning.
We are “star stuff” in the sense that (a) we are made of elements that were produced in stars. (b) our bodies have the same chemical composition as stars. (c) we are born, live and die, just like stars.

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
O A. zero
O B. minus 1
OC. minus 2
O D. minus 3
Answer the question below showing detailly each step of your working.
Solution should be clear, simple and explicit enough and must be typed with the use of a computer keyboard only!

- Plz show full explanation and working with steps. Clear writing also to help with revision. This is 1 question I should add just with related parts. Thanksarrow_forwardCan some one please help filling in the empty graph. The other one is to help fill in the empty one . The 6 things I'm listing aren't questions just directions to understand . 1. Correctly round all of your TE values in Trial 5 to a whole number. Correctly round all of your TE values in Trial # 7 to a one decimal place only. 2. Compare the 5 TE values for each trial. Choose the trial in which your 5 TE values are the most similar. This will be your CHOSEN trial . 3. Once you have decided on the trial with the closest 5 TE values, create a bar graph on the attached graph paper. I have labeled the X- axis for you. Notice that you will have a PE, KE, and TE bar for each point. 4. You will have to decide on the numbers for the Yaxis. Type numbers in the blank column on the left of the graph . 5. Remember to title your graph "Y - axis variable name vs X-axis variable name." That is not the actual title, just the template for you to use to write your title. 6.
