Thank you! This helped me out a lot!

No worries

Lets just hope 2moz there is a 45 mark question on what is Direct Current?

ahahahaha, made me laugh I would give you rep but I have to share it around first

Can someone explain why 6Ci the answer is Alpha and not Gamma?

Hope everyone's late revision is going well, on the bright side the exam isn't until the afternoon so we have break and lunch to revise

You know how on the top numbers (the MASS numbers - protons + neutrons) changes from 238 - 234 and the bottom numbers (the ATOMIC number - protons) changes from 92 - 90, that means there's been a loss of 2 protons and 4 protons+neutrons which has to be ALPHA radition since an alpha particle consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.

Gamma is on the electromagnetic spectrum and it is UNCHARGED and has NO MASS. Therefore the changes in mass or proton numbers can only be caused by alpha+beta; not gamma!

An Alpha particle is made up of 2 protons and 2 neutrons.
Therefore, it means 2 will be lost from the proton number (2 protons).
And 4 will be lost from the mass number at the top (as 2 protons have been lost from the top, and 2 neutrons are lost. As the mass number is both the protons AND the neutrons added together, this means that 4 will be lost).
Is that any clearer? Feel free to PM me if you need further help, haha. :P

I wish more of the physics question had general answers like chemistry ,i really HATE how science works

Alpha because it loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons

It is not Gamma because gamma has no overall charge.

good luck for tommorrow

Thank you both! Much clearer than the revision guide

I hate 2PM exams.

I have a Biology ISA paper in the morning as well.

I did the Biology ISA the other day. Do you think it would be the same one? Afternoon exams are always bad for me.

[woiiiichan]

ive finished every past paper and done all of my notes. ****. watch me forget this over night

Did you do an ISA on osmosis with potatoes?
And aw, why?

It'll vary for each school but it should be some time between 2pm and 2:45 pm

Yes, that was exactly it. And because I revise then forget it all throughout the day.

Ok so;
series'- current stays same and voltage splits
Parallel current splits and potential difference stays the same
;'( so confused....
