1. Diagram 5.

1 shows a graph of the number of neutron and

proton in a stable nucleus.

a. Phosphorus 32 has 17 neutron.

i.
Calculate the number of proton in the nucleus
phosphorus 32?
ii. On the graph, mark X to show the position of
phosphurus 32.
iii. According to graph, explain why phosphorus is
radioactive?
b) P and Q are 2 elements whose half life is 12 hours and
2.6 years, both elements undergo decay and emit beta ray
to become more stable.
i. State the change to proton number and nucleon number of
element P after emittting eta ray.
ii. State the change to the activity of element P and Q after 24
hours
iii. State the change in mass from the original mass after 12
hours.
