answers: 1,3,5 on ed-genuity

thanks for the answers ッ. (btw they’re on the bottom of the question if anyone doesn’t see it.

The correct answer are Option 1, Option 3 and Option 5.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are released when a nucleus undergoes alpha decay process. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units and has a mass of 4 units.

The charge of this particle will determine the number of protons present in this particle which are 2 and the mass will determine the number of neutrons in this particle.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Number of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2

This particle also releases energy with itself.

Hence, the correct answer are Option 1, Option 3 and Option 5.

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >

the answer is 75.0%.
