How many neutrons lost when uranium 238 decays to thorium 234?
92238U decays to 90234Th by alpha decay. Since an alpha particle is a helium nucleus, 24He2+, having two protons and two neutrons, the reaction entails the loss of two neutrons.
Which of these particles are lost in the oxidation process protons neutrons electrons atoms?
Electrons are these particles.
What are the differences between isotopes isomers and ions?
An isotope is an element that has lost or gained neutrons. Isotopes have the same amount of protons and electrons but have a different number of neutrons. The less neutrons the lighter the isotope, the more neutrons, the heavier the isotope. An ion is an element that has lost or gained electrons. Ions have more or less electrons than protons and have a normal amount of neutrons. The more an atom has the more negative it is, the less the more positive it is.
What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
2 neutrons and 2 protons (this is what an alpha particle is made up of).
Why does alpha radiation produce the greatest change in mass number?
An alpha particle consists of 2 neutrons and 2 protons which are lost from the nucleus of the decaying particle so the mass of those particles is lost.

How many protons and neutrons are lost as U234 decays to Th230?
2 of each in the form of an alpha particle.
What type of radiation is emitted when polonium-212 forms lead-208?
Polonium-212 loses 2 protons and 2 neutrons when it decays to lead-208. These 2 protons and 2 neutrons are lost as a single Helium nucleus. In other words, it is an alpha decay.
How many neutrons does a Cu 1 have?
29. Cu 1 is an ion where the Cu atom has lost an electron. Therefore, it would have the normal 29 neutrons.

Electrons are these particles.

A hydrogen atom which has lost an electron contains?
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).
A hydrogen atom which has lost an electron contains what?
After it has lost an electron, a hydrogen ion contains one proton and a variable number of neutrons depending on the isotope (usually none).
Which type of particles are transferred during static charging?
Neutrons & Electrons. Protons cannot be transferred, lost or gained.
How does oxygen stay in the ozone layer?
Oxygen diffuses in and out of the ozone layer, and ozone decays back to oxygen. So any oxygen lost is made up... usually from the troposphere (and its nearby plants).
What happens when a neutral atom becomes positive?
the excess protons pull harder on the fewer neutrons
What is lost from the nucleus of atom when it emits an alpha particle?
2 neutrons and 2 protons (this is what an alpha particle is made up of).
