It is smaller than the original atom and is possibly radioactive.

In a nuclear disintegration the particle that is ejected may be what?

... just about anything, really. Electrons, positrons, neutrinos, helium-4 nuclei, neutrons, photons, lighter nuclei (other than helium), almost any combination of the above. You're going to need to provide more details if you want a more specific answer.


What ejects electrons?

Electrons may be ejected as Beta particles from an atom undergoing radioactive decay. Electrons may also be ejected in high-energy particle collisions such as those produced in a cyclotron. Electrons may also be displaced from an atom by extremes of high temperature when a plasma is formed, by thermionic emission; or by light, during the interaction with a photon of sufficient energy.


Does a player have to leave the field after being ejected?

He is ejected and may be fined or suspended, but the game he is ejected from he can not return to that game


Can a player receive a technical after being ejected?

After being ejected, a player may receive a technical if they refuse to leave or continue to harangue the officials or players.


Is nuclear decay an example of a nuclear change?

Yes, it is. Nuclear decay is a process that an unstable atom goes through to lose energy and move toward a more stable state. (It may take more than one decay.) In nuclear decay, the nucleus undergoes a change by releasing a particle or particles and electromagnetic energy. Links are provided to related Wikipedia articles and related questions.


What does disegration mean?

I believe you may be referring to the term "disintegration." Disintegration refers to the process of breaking something down into smaller parts or of deteriorating over time. It can also refer to the breaking up or separation of a group or organization.


What happens when the positively charged alpha particle directly hits the positively charged nuckeus?

When a positively charged alpha particle collides with a positively charged nucleus, they experience a strong repulsive force due to their like charges. This repulsion can prevent the alpha particle from penetrating the nucleus. If the energy of the alpha particle is sufficiently high, it may overcome the Coulomb barrier and interact with the nucleus, potentially leading to nuclear reactions such as fusion or scattering. However, under normal circumstances, the alpha particle will simply be deflected away from the nucleus.


What can be said about the speed of a particle if the net work done on it is zero?

In that case, basically no force acts on the particle, and the particle moves at a constant speed. This constant speed may, or may not, be zero.


How do sapphires disintegrate?

Sapphires, like any other mineral, may have faults or fractures, and along these imperfections disintegration may take place.


Why we say that matured red blood cell have 3 or 4 nuclear pores as no nucluse is present in them?

Mature red blood cells (RBCs) in mammals are anucleate, meaning they do not contain a nucleus. However, during their development in the bone marrow, they have a nucleus that is eventually ejected, leaving behind remnants of nuclear structures, such as nuclear pores. These pores may persist in small numbers, typically around 3 or 4, which are thought to play a role in cellular functions or may simply be remnants from the cell's earlier developmental stage.


What happens to a positively-charged alpha particle directly hits the positively-charged nucleus?

When a positively-charged alpha particle directly hits a positively-charged nucleus, it experiences a strong electrostatic repulsion due to the like charges. This repulsion can cause the alpha particle to be deflected away from the nucleus, preventing it from penetrating further. If the energy of the alpha particle is high enough, it may overcome the repulsive force, resulting in nuclear reactions or the emission of radiation, but typically, it is repelled.


Can the neutron in an atom be somewhere else other than the nucleus?

Neutrons are typically found within the nucleus of an atom. However, they can be ejected from the nucleus in certain nuclear reactions or processes, such as radioactive decay or nuclear fission, where they may be observed outside the nucleus for a short period before they decay into a proton.
