5) Choose the best revision of the following statement: "All the isotopes of a particular element decay radioactively by emitting electrons."
A. All the isotopes of a particular element are stable and do not decay.
B. Some isotopes are stable and others are unstable. Unstable isotopes decay by emitting various subatomic
particles and radiation
C. Some isotopes are stable and others are unstable. Unstable isotopes decay by emitting protons or
electrons.
D. The statement is correct as it is currently written.

An  atom  (ours, not carroll's) consists of a positively charged  nucleus, surrounded by one or more negatively charged particles called  electrons. the positive charges equal the negative charges, so the atom has no overall charge; it is electrically neutral. most of an atom's mass is in its nucleus; the mass of an electron is only 1/1836 the mass of the lightest nucleus, that of hydrogen. although the nucleus is heavy, it is quite small compared with the overall size of an atom. the radius of a typical atom is around 0.1 to 0.25 nanometres (nm), whereas the radius of a nucleus is about 10-6  nm.  *  if an atom were enlarged to the size of the earth, its nucleus would be only 200 feet in diameter and could easily rest inside a small football stadium.read more on -
