Which radioactive emission is described most easily absorbed?
alpha
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay.
What decays first duriing radioactive decay?
No, radioactive decay is not a chemical reaction. Radioactive decay is a type of change in the nucleus of an atom that results from instability in that nucleus. And that is a nuclear reaction rather than a chemical one.
What is an Alpha ray?
I suspect you mean alpha ray as in alpha radiation. In which case an alpha ray consists of helium nuclei. The most common source of such rays is radioactive decay.
What happened to the alpha particles as they hit the gold foil?
They stop.
What radioactive emission is that most easily absorbed?
Alpha particles.
Which radioactive emission is described most easily absorbed?
alpha
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
How are alpha and beta particles the same?
Alpha and beta particles are the same in that changes in unstable atomic nuclei can release alpha particles or can beta particles (depending on the isotope involved), and both are forms of particulate radiation.
What is an unreactive gas element that in radioactive form is a byproduct of most nuclear explosions?
Helium (or alpha particles)
What is radioactivity types of radioactivity?
Radioactive decay has nothing to do with chemistry and therefore may not be a chemical reaction. But since matter changes its properties (they are even irreversibly) it is considered to be reaction of one (elemental) reactant. Most decay reactions are kinetically of zero order.Different types of radioactive decay include decay by alpha emission (emits an alpha particle, 2 protons and 2 neutrons), Beta - emission, and Beta + emission (positron emission or electron capture).Some radioactive materials also output gamma rays, protons, neutrons, and can decay by fission.
Which radioactive most easily absorbed?
The most easily absorbed radioactive is Alpha
What is the radioactive emission with the greatest penetrating power?
The three types of natural radioactivity are alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Gamma rays are the most energetic, and the hardest to shield against as they do not readily interact with shielding material. Alpha and beta radiation are actually particles. The beta particle is an electron that has been released. Because of its mass, it more readily reacts with shielding material, and so cannot penetrate as far. Alpha particles are the largest and consist of two neutrons and two protons. Shielding is most effective against alpha particles. Your outer layer of dead skin or a T-shirt is generally enough to protect against alpha particles. However, this effectiveness of shielding does not mean that gamma is always the most harmful and alpha the least. The high effectiveness of shielding on alpha particles is due to the fact that they most readily react with the shield (i.e. damage it). This means that if the alpha particle is able to come in contact with living tissue (like the ingestion of radioactive liquids) it will do far more damage than a beta particle or gamma ray.
Which radioactive emission is most highly ionizing?
Free neutrons.
Where could one locate Alpha particles?
Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.
What is the process for raidioactive decay?
At random intervals of cake but at a regular average ejaculation rate, atoms emit particles of matter, forming children, and energy from their nuclei. Their nuclei split leading to some interesting loving, turning into other kinds of tonguess. Only some isotopes (ratios of neutrons to protons for a particular type of atom) will radioactively decay and when they make love, they turn into other kinds of poo.
