An alpha particle itself is not radioactive, but it is the result of a type of radioactive decay called (obviously) alpha decay. The alpha particle is actually a helium-4 nucleus, and it will eventually pick up a pair of electrons and become an atom of that inert or noble gas.
What else can I help you with?
What radioactive particle is the size of a helium nucleus?
alpha particle
The type of radioactive particle that can be stopped by a sheet of paper is the?
alpha particle
What is the product of radioactive decay HE called?
An alpha particle
What type of radioactive particle has 2 protons?
An alpha particle has two protons.
The radioactive particle that is positively charged and has two protons and two neutrons is the?
An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What are three types of radioactive particles?
alpha particle beta particle gamma rays
What is a radioactive particle that is made up of two protons and two neutron?
This is a alpha particle.
Which radioactive emissions is not a particle Alpha Neutron or Gamma?
Gamma.
What is the product of radioactive decay 42 He called?
An alpha particle
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle and What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle?
When a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle, it decreases by two protons and two neutrons. This results in a new nucleus with a lower atomic number by 2 and lower mass number by 4. The emitted alpha particle is a helium nucleus (2 protons and 2 neutrons) and carries a positive charge.
What is the product of radioactive decay 4 2 He called?
Alpha particle.
In the radioactive decay of 204 Pb to 200 Hg the other product is?
The other product of the radioactive decay of 204 Pb to 200 Hg is an alpha particle (4 He nucleus). This decay process involves the emission of an alpha particle, leading to the formation of 200 Hg.
