Which of the following is a physical change?
A iron rusting under water
B copper turning green in the air
C solid iodine subliming into a gas
D hydrogen and oxygen producing water

C. solid iodine subliming into a gas

Explanation:

A physical change is a change that is reversible and can be reversed back into the original product. The atoms and molecules undergoes some rearrangement in the physical change. The process of change in the state of matters are placed under physical change. Solid iodine sublimes into purple gas on heating. The gas is then changed back to iodine crystals after being cooled. Hence, this is an example of a physical change.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
