The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following is not emitted by a natural radioactive substance, we need to analyze the common emissions from such substances. Natural radioactive decay typically involves the emission of alpha particles, beta particles, and gamma rays. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Common Emissions from Radioactive Substances**: - Natural radioactive substances emit three primary types of radiation: - **Alpha particles**: These are helium nuclei, consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons. - **Beta particles**: These are high-energy, high-speed electrons (or positrons) emitted from a nucleus. - **Gamma rays**: These are electromagnetic radiation emitted from the nucleus during radioactive decay. 2. **Examine the Options**: - **Helium Nucleus (Alpha particle)**: This is emitted during alpha decay. - **Electrons (Beta particles)**: These are emitted during beta decay. - **Gamma Radiation**: This is emitted as electromagnetic radiation during decay processes. - **Neutrons**: Neutrons are not typically emitted during natural radioactive decay processes. 3. **Conclusion**: - Among the options provided, neutrons are not emitted by natural radioactive substances. Therefore, the correct answer is that neutrons are the emissions that do not occur in natural radioactivity. ### Final Answer: Neutrons are not emitted by a natural radioactive substance. ---
