To calculate the density of a substance what two properties do you need to know?

mass volume weight none of the above

density = mass/volume. so you need to know the mass and the volume.

To calculate the density of a substance we need mass and volume

Density is a physical quantity that compares the amount of matter an object has to the space that it occupies which is called its volume. An object with more matter in a certain volume has high density. Density is found by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.

Mathematically we can write as

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
