Chapter 9, Problem 15SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk(*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Raft Elements. Lithium, beryllium and boron are elements with atomic number 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Despite their being three of the five simplest elements, Figure 9.19 shows that they are rare compared to many heavier elements. Suggest a reason for their rarity. (Hint: Consider the process by which helium fuses into carbon.

For this question, CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER, then explain your reasoning in the RATIONALE section below: Alpha,
Beta-plus, Beta-minus and Gamma decay are all different forms of radio-Active decay. A certain radio-isotope emits ONE
alpha particle, and its products then emit TWO beta-minus particles in succession. The atomic number of the final resulting
nucleus will now change (as compared to your starting nucleus) by
O A. zero
O B. minus 1
OC. minus 2
O D. minus 3
