What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?
In beta decay, a neutron becomes a proton, an electron, and a neutrino (or maybe an anti-neutrino -- we're not sure).
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
Where are atoms stored?
In the atom's nucleus.
How many atoms in a nucleus?
13
Can you say that atoms cannot be changed?
Atoms consist of a nucleus and electrons surrounding the nucleus. You can not change the nucleus by ordinary chemical means but you can remove electrons. However, since the electrons are easily replaced the atom is not considered fundamentally changed by removing electrons, but it is changed. There is a way to change a nucleus that's called "neutron activation" . This involves bombarding the nucleus with slow moving neutrons and letting the nucleus adsorb a neutron. This makes the atom a little heavier and can sometimes make the atom radioactive. Neutron activation is not considered a chemical process but it is a way to change the atom. So I would say it is incorrect to say an atom cannot be changed. Atoms can be changed but its not easy.
Neutrinos are a by-product of?
Neutrinos are a product of beta decay. Some number of protons and some number of neutrons are in the nucleus of an atom. When a neutron decays, it turns into a proton, an electron and a neutrino. The protons stays in the nucleus, while the electron and the neutrino escape.
What releases a fast moving electron from a neutron in the nucleus?
In beta decay, a neutron becomes a proton, an electron, and a neutrino (or maybe an anti-neutrino -- we're not sure).
Will there be an increase in mass during beta decay in nucleus?
If you are asking whether the nucleus' mass would increase, the answer is no. Beta decay involves emission of an electron from the nucleus. This happens when a neutron converts to a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino. A neutron is heavier than a proton, and the anti-neutrino carries away some energy with it, so the mass of the nucleus decreases.
What is a neutral subatomic particle in an atoms nucleus that has a mass nearly equal to a protons and no change?
Neutrons.
What has no negative charge and no positive charge?
Neutrons. These are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Does germanium have a nucleus?
All atoms have a nucleus.
Name of the atoms core?
The nucleus
Which particle is associated with beta decay?
The atomic nucleus can emit beta particles (beta radiation). A neutron emits a beta particle when it decays into a proton, and anti-neutrino, and an electron (which becomes the beta particle).
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
At the center of every atoms is a mass-filled region called the?
centeral part of an atom consists of protons and neutrons I believe it is called the nucleus
Is atoms parts of a nucleus?
No, the nucleus is part of the atom.
What are the differences between electrons and electron-neutrinos?
1. Electron is a particle with negative charge, component of all atoms. 2. Electron neutrino is associated with the production of electrons; electron neutrino has not an electrical charge.
