Question
a. A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an b. Alpha and beta rays are made of streams of particles, whereas gamma rays are streams of c. An electrically charged atom is called an d. Different of an element are chemically identical but differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. e. Transuranic elements are those beyond atomic number f. If the amount of a certain radioactive sample decreases by half in four weeks, in four more weeks the amount remaining should be the original amount. g. Water from a natural hot spring is warmed by inside Earth.
Solution
The first step in solving 33 problem number 1 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a. A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an b. Alpha and beta rays are made of streams of particles, whereas gamma rays are streams of c. An electrically charged atom is called an d. Different of an element are chemically identical but differ in the number of neutrons in the nucleus. e. Transuranic elements are those beyond atomic number f. If the amount of a certain radioactive sample decreases by half in four weeks, in four more weeks the amount remaining should be the original amount. g. Water from a natural hot spring is warmed by inside Earth.
From the textbook chapter Atomic Nucleus and Radioactivity you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
