When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
Radioactive elements comprise a majority?
Yes. Stable elements are 83 elements. all elements above that of atomic number 83 (Bismuth) are radioactive. Radioactive isotopes are of the order of 1500 radioactive isotope.
What radioactive decay processes do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide?
Beta Decay.
One element that is always radioactive and has an atomic number less than 50?
Technetium
When a radioactive isotope emits a its atomic number increases?
a beta particle. the nucleus is made of protons (+) and neutrons. but neutrons can transform into an electron and a proton. when that happens in the nucleus, the proton stays in the nucleus while the electron shoots out at incredibly high speeds. that high speed electron is called a beta particle. the proton that stays is added to the other protons to increase the atomic number
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same?
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same after the emission of a beta particle by a radioactive atom.
What does a radioactive atom lose as it increases its atomic number by one?
An electron, also known in this context as a beta particle.
When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
What is the radioactive decay of an atom resulting in the decrease in the atomic number with no charge in the atomic mass called?
It is called beta decay. there are two types: 1) posive beta decay in which atomic number decreases. 2) negative beta decay in which atomic number increases.
What happens to the atomic mass number in a radioactive substance?
In a radioactive substance, the atomic mass number may change as a result of radioactive decay. During radioactive decay, radioactive atoms undergo nuclear reactions, which can lead to the emission of radioactive particles such as alpha or beta particles. These emitted particles can cause a change in the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, resulting in a different atomic mass number for the resulting atom or isotope.
What atomic number is 84?
Po is a radioactive element.It has the 84 atomic number.
What is a slogan for molybdenum?
radioactive, artificial, metal, atomic number 101
What happens to the number of electrons in an atom when the atomic number increases?
The atomic number is specific to the element itself - not the quantity. It does not change as you add in more of the element.
What is the atomic number and mass number of radioactive nitrogen?
sixteen
What is the atomic number of radioactive nitrogen?
Nitrogen is a non metal element. Atomic number of it is 7.
How does atomic radius increases in the periodic table?
atomic radius increases down a group as the number of shells increases
Do radioactive elements differ in atomic number?
yes
