Consider the nuclear equation below. Superscript 124 subscript 56 B a right arrow superscript 124 subscript 55 upper C s plus question mark. Which completes the nuclear equation? Superscript 0 subscript plus 1 e. Superscript o subscript negative 1 e. Superscript 1 subscript 0 n. Superscript 1 subscript 1 upper H..

Superscript o subscript negative 1 e.

Explanation:

The nuclear reactions is of 2 types, one is nuclear fusion and the other one is nuclear fission.

Nuclear fusion is nothing but the combining of 2 nuclei with an emission of energy along with an electron, proton or beta particle.

Nuclear fission is the break down of a nucleus into 2 or more nuclei along with an electron, proton or beta particle.

And the reaction is,

₅₆B¹²⁴  ₅₅C¹²⁴ +  ₋₁e⁰

So the blank was filled by means of a beta particle.

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
