Which statement correctly compares the motion of atoms in liquid mercury and solid copper? Copper atoms in copper move while staying close together, whereas mercury atoms vibrate around fixed positions. Copper atoms move while staying close together, whereas mercury atoms are independent of one another. Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together.

Which of the following represents a balanced nuclear equation showing bismuth-212 undergoing alpha decay followed by beta decay?
