Select all true statements. Isotopes of an element have differing numbers of neutrons. Protons must be conserved in nuclear reactions. Protons have more mass than neutrons. Rutherford found most alpha particles were deflected in his scattering experiments. Gamma radiation is high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Select all true statements. The strong nuclear force causes nucleons to be attracted to each other. Scientists use the concept of half-life to predict the amount of radioactive material that will decay over a time period. The potential energy associated with the nucleus is much greater than the energy associated with electrons, molecules, and chemical reactions. The total mass of separated neutrons and protons is generally less than the mass of the same number of protons and neutrons bound in a nucleus. In nuclear fission, a nucleus is induced to split into two or more daughter nuclei.

Characterize EACH of the three given statements as being TRUE or FALSE and then indicate the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices: (1) All nuclides of all the transuranium elements are radioactive. (2) Alpha particles are the most massive and the slowest of the three types of naturally-occurring radioactive emissions. (3) Four grams of an eight-gram sample of a radioactive nuclide will not have decayed after the elapse of one half life. Select one: a. None of the statements is true. b. All three statements are true. c. Two of the three statements are true. d. Only one of the statements is true.
