Is bombardment of alpha particles on beryllium artificial radioactivity?

You can say that as long as the alpha particle itself is not originating from a radioactive element. If however one is able to isolate the helium nucleus from the elemental atom and then used for bombarding towards the beryllium then it is considered as an example of artificial radioactivity. Or the production of a radioactive element(synthetic element) like Francium can be considered artificial radioactivity.

What are the types of radiactivity?
There are several types of radioactivity. Some of these types of radioactivity include gamma rays, beta particles, as well as alpha particles.
When a mineral spontaneously decays into subatomic particles it has this property?
When a mineral spontaneously decays into subatomic particles, it has this property
What is a process in which atomic nuclei of unstable isotopes release fast-moving particles and energy?
Radioactivity
What is the difference between radiation and radioactivity?
There is no difference in the meaning of the word. It is essentially the same thing. There are just two differenct forms of the word. You're still dealing with radium, Uranium, americium, and other radioactive elements either way.
What is radiactivity?
Radioactivity refers to the particles which are emitted from nuclei as a result of nuclear instability. It is also known as a decomposition process.
What is Radioactivity and artificial transmutations?
Radio Activity- The process in which an unstable atomic nucleus emits charged particles and energy Artificial Transmutations- The conversion of atoms of one element to atoms of another.
What are the types of radiactivity?
There are several types of radioactivity. Some of these types of radioactivity include gamma rays, beta particles, as well as alpha particles.
What is the release of nuclear particles and energy?
Radioactivity
What term is defined the emission of energy from subatomic particles?
radioactivity
What term is defined as emission of energy from subatomic particles?

What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles and or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
What types of particles are found in the nucleus of a beryllium?
The atomic nucleus of beryllium contain 4 protons and 5 neutrons.
Is it true that the atomic bomb couldn't exist without radioactivity?
Simply to put it Yes. Atomic Bombs is a form as Nuclear bomb and Nuclear products/elements such as Uranium 235 (a material used in a atomic bomb) emits radioactive particles. Radioactivity Particles = radioactivity.
What particles make beryllium reactive?
Beryllium is not so reactive; the electronegativity after Pauling scale is 1,57.
Which type of radioactivity would be most dangerous if you were exposed to it from a source outside of your body?
Gamma radioactivity would be the most dangerous because, unlike alpha particles that can be blocked by paper or skin, and beta particles which can be shielded by foil, gamma radioactivity would need a lead shield. Plus gamma radioactivity effects organic material.
Uranium emits particles and rays spontaneously through this process?
radioactivity
