Chapter 8, Problem 2SC
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The correct statement for radioactive decay is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which unstable an atomic nucleus dissipates excess energy by spontaneously ejecting an alpha particle, which results in a decrease in the mass number by four and atomic number by 2.

Beta decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which a beta particle is emitted from an atomic nucleus resulting in a decrease in the atomic number by one unit. It is not accompanied by a change in mass number.

In the Thermo Fisher application note about wine analysis (Lesson 3), the following chromatogram was collected of nine components of wine. If peak 3 has a retention time of 3.15 minutes and a peak width of 0.070 minutes, and peak 4 has a retention time of 3.24 minutes and a peak width of 0.075 minutes, what is the resolution factor between the two peaks?
