When an element is unstable, what will it do to achieve stability?
- A.
Augment energy.
- B.
Expand energy.
- C.
Bind particles of energy.
- D.
Emit particles of energy.
Correct Answer
D. Emit particles of energy.Explanation
When an element is unstable, it will emit particles of energy in order to achieve stability. This process is known as radioactive decay, where unstable atoms release excess energy in the form of particles such as alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays. By emitting these particles, the unstable element transforms into a more stable configuration, with a lower energy state. This emission of energy helps the element to achieve a more balanced and stable state.Rate this question:
