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
What is the half-life of this radioactive material (Barium 137) in seconds? Now, if we waited 8 half-lives, how many seconds would that be? What fraction of the original material would remain after that time? Explain how you decided on these answers.

- During early research in nuclear energy, why were scientists surprised that the products from splitting a uranium nucleus had less mass than the reactants? They expected that the large release of energy would cause an increase in mass. Up to that time, only chemical changes were known to form less mass than they started with. All known changes always started and ended with the same amount of mass. Other known nuclear changes resulted in the same mass of products as reactants.
