Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
What is the nuclear decay equation for Chromium?
Natural chromium is stable and does not decay/
Which is not a type of nuclear decay?
zeyta
What is the nuclear decay for francium?
Francium-223 decay to radium-223; each isotope have another type of decay.
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Does atomic mass stay the same?
The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
What is The spontaneous decay of an atom is called?
Nuclear decay.Different types of nuclear decay include:Alpha Decay, where the nucleus ejects a charged particle made of protons and neutrons.Beta Decay, where a neutron turns into a proton, a Beta particle (an electron or positron) and a neutrino.Gamma radiation can also be emitted in these processes.
What is the final product of a sequence of spontaneous nuclear decay reactions?
The final product is a stable isotope.
Types of nuclear reactions are?
There are four types of nuclear reactions. Fusion Fission Radioactive Decay Artificial Transmutation
What is the spontaneous release of particles or radiation from the nucleus of an atom called?
This is known as nuclear fission; the type of reaction that brings us nuclear power.
What is difference between spontaneous decay and random decay?
yow mam is spontaneous and yow dad is random
What is the nuclear equation for the beta decay of no-260?
Nobelium-260, formally 102260No, does not decay by beta decay. It decays by spontaneous fission with a half life of 106 milliseconds. For further information, please see the Related Link below.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
What happens to a nucleus of an unstable atom?
the unstable nucleus will decay into smaller, stable particles.
What is spontaneous fission?
Spontaneous fission is a naturally occurring nuclear decay event that a few different elements undergo. Uranium and plutonium, which are radioactive, are the most well known of the fissionable elements, and they can do this in nature. The nucleus of the atoms of these elements are naturally unstable, and they can just "split" by themselves. The instability is a characteristic of these and some other elements, and this is because these large nuclei are so massive that their nuclear binding energy cannot hold them together indefinitely. Note that spontaneous fission is just one possibility as regards the decay of these heavy nuclei.In spontaneous fission, the unstable nucleus just falls or breaks apart by itself. The nucleus splits in two parts of approximately the same size, and these are the fission fragments from the decay event. One or more neutrons will be released at this time, too. The fission fragments recoil with a great deal of kinetic energy. Further, it is spontaneous fission that begins all nuclear chain reactions in nuclear weapons and in nuclear reactors.
