Starting with 235U, assume the following sequence of decays occur:
 
  (1 ) alpha decay
  (2 ) beta minus decay
  (3 ) alpha decay
 
  Determine the correct isotopic product after each process has occurred sequentially.

Question 2

A Carbon-14 nucleus decays to a Nitrogen-14 nucleus by beta decay. How much energy (in MeV) is released if Carbon-14 has a mass of 14.003074 u and Nitrogen-14 has a mass of 14.003242 u?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
