which statements are true? select all that apply.
an atom is the smallest complete part of an element.
an element is a pure substance made of one kind of atom.
the nucleus is the tiny center of an atom, and it contains protons and neutrons.
isotopes are atoms of the same element that contain the same number of neutrons but different numbers of protons.
the time required for one-half of the atoms from a sample of a radioactive substance to decay is called its
half-life
beta decay
alpha decay
isotope number
