answers: 1,3,5 on ed-genuity

thanks for the answers ッ. (btw they’re on the bottom of the question if anyone doesn’t see it.

The correct answer are Option 1, Option 3 and Option 5.

Explanation:

Alpha particles are released when a nucleus undergoes alpha decay process. The alpha particle released carries a charge of +2 units and has a mass of 4 units.

The charge of this particle will determine the number of protons present in this particle which are 2 and the mass will determine the number of neutrons in this particle.

Number of neutrons = Mass number - Number of protons

Number of neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2

This particle also releases energy with itself.

Hence, the correct answer are Option 1, Option 3 and Option 5.

the answer is barium and copper bromide
