What must occur in order for matter to change states? A.
A chemical change must occur.
В.
The temperature must change.
C. Heat must be added or removed.
D.
Other substances must be added.

C. Heat must be added or removed

Explanation:

When matter changes states it is due to the overall loss or gain of heat. In addition, heat being added or removed is what will cause a temperature change, but a simple temperature change is not enough to change states. For example, a temperature could go from 50 degrees to 51. This will not cause a change in states. So heat must be added or removed in order for matter to change states.

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.
