What are 3 kinds of radiation given off by radioactive substances?
Alpha, Beta , and Gamma!
Nucleus of the chemical element atomic number 2 emitted by some radioactive substances?
alpha particle, He nucleus
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
What changes in a radioactive material to make it emit radiation?
Due to unstable atomic structures (or a weak nuclear force), radioactive materials release alpha particles as radiation.
What elements are used as a shields to protect radioactive substances?
* Alpha radiation can be stopped by a sheet of card * Beta radiation can be stopped be a few inches of aluminium * Gamma radiation can be stopped by several inches of lead or many feet of concrete.

Which of the following is not a component of the radiation emitted by a radioactive sample a.alpha radiation b.delta radiation c.gamma radiation d.beta radiation?
Radioactive substances can emit alpha particles, gamma radiation (gamma rays) and beta radiation (beta particles). What they do not emit is delta radiation.It causes transmutation.It has a mass of 4 amus.
What type of particles are emmitted by radioactive elements?
Gama radiation.Beta particles (electrons or positrons)Alpha particles (helium nuclei)Neutrons and sometimes Protons.
Gamma ray sources of the radiation?
Various radioactive substances such as Plutonium and Uranium give off a combination of alpha, beta and gamma rays as the isotope decays.
What produces a alpha wave?
If you mean "alpha radiation", that is the result of certain types of radioactive decay.
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
What is a stream of helium nuclei ejected by certain radioactive elements?
alpha radiation
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What changes in a radioactive material to make it emit radiation?
Due to unstable atomic structures (or a weak nuclear force), radioactive materials release alpha particles as radiation.
What are the alpha particles in the environment?
Naturally occurring alpha particles are mostly from cosmic radiation and radioactive isotopes such as Americium and Uranium.
Which barrier can alpha pass through?
Alpha radiation is stopped easily by thin substances such as a sheet of paper or the skin. It is because of this that alpha radiation is generally non-harmful to humans.
