Why can the volume of a sample of plasma change when the substance is moved from one substance is moved from one container to another?

a. plasma is made of charged ions and electrons, so they interact differently in different places.

b. plasma can have lots of space between its particles, so naturally expands compresses.

c. plasma is made of neutral atoms that can split into separate ions and electrons when placed in a new container.

d. plasma can change between a rigid shape and free-moving form, so it will have different volumes in different containers.

The answer is d. Hope you get it right

Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plasma is defined as the state of matter which is an ionized gas that consists of positively charged ions and negative electrons. These ions move rapidly from one place to another.

Therefore, when a plasma is shifted from one container to another then it readily occupies volume of the container because a plasma has lots of space between its particles. Therefore, it is easy to compress or expand it.

Thus, we can conclude that Plasma can have lots of space between its particles, so naturally expands compresses.

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.
