Questions:

1. What does the law of radioactive displacement tell us about radioactive decay in the nucleus (when a nucleus releases an alpha or a beta particle - what happens to the mass and atomic numbers)?

2. When did Fajans emigrate from Poland to the US? What was going on in Europe at that time?
