How does nuclear decay affect the atomic number and mass number of a nucleus that changes after undergoing decay?

Beta+ decay and electron capture causes the atomic number to drop by one. Beta- causes the the atomic number to rise by one.Proton emission causes the atomic and mass number to drop by one.Neutron emission causes the mass number to drop by one.Alpha decay causes the atomic number to drop by two and the mass number to drop by four.


What is the effect of temperature on frequency of tuning fork?

The effect of temperature on the frequency of a tuning fork is slight, for the length of the tines is little changed. A steel tuning fork would not be used as a precision frequency reference, though quite adequate for audio purposes. As the temperature increases, the lines will lengthen, and the frequency will decrease.


Is there an Easter song with the words death can't keep Him in the ground?

By garybartlett Go ahead, drive the nails in my handsLaugh at me where you stand.Go ahead and say it isn't me,The day will come when you will see.'Cause I'll rise again.Ain't no power on earth can tie me down.Oh yes, I'll rise again.Death can't keep me in the ground. Go ahead and mock my name,My love for you is still the same.Go ahead and bury me,But very soon I will be free.'Cause I'll rise again.Ain't no power on earth can tie me down.Yes, I'll rise again.Death can't keep me in the ground. Go ahead and say I'm dead and gone,You will see that you were wrong.Go ahead, try to hide the Son,But all will see that I'm the one.Because I'll rise again.Ain't no power on earth can keep me back.Yes, I'll rise again.Come to take my people back. And I'll rise again.Ain't no power on earth can tie me down.Yes, I'll rise again.Death can't keep me in the ground.

What in earths mantle causes tectonic plates to move?

Convection currents in the mantle are what causes tectonic plates to move. Uneven heating of the mantle results from radioactive decay of some long-lived isotopes in the mantle, which are not evenly distributed.


What is a by product of radioactive decay?

The 3 things that can happen during radioactive decay is the 3 parts of decay: Alpha decay, Beta decay, and Gamma decay. In alpha decay, which is the weakest part of decay, it has a positive helium neuclus(2 protons and 2 neutrons), and the particles will burn your skin, but can be easily stopped by a peice of paper. This is the most ionising as the helium nucleus can take electrons from other atoms and make them unstable. This can give rise to cancers as it distorts cells. In Beta decay (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−). It can be stopped by 3mm of aluminum. Gamma decay, which is the strongest, can only be stopped by 3cm of lead. It has electromagnetic waves, it contains the most energy, and therefore is the most penetrating, but normally it just passes straight through the human body. Radioactive decay can be very harmful, and its best to stay away. This question has been anwsered by Rae-Ann Salisbury.

Is the helium nucleus a byproduct of fission?

Yes, but only if the nuclear disintegration is alpha decay. Alpha decay is only one mode of radioactive decay, and in alpha decay, a helium-4 nucleus (the alpha particle) will appear. Beta decay (two types) and spontaneous fission are also modes of radioactive decay, and different particles appear in those events. Links are provided below to Related questions that will help you sort this out.
