smaller
smaller than the original atom and possibly radioactive
After the nucleus break down, the atoms become smaller in some way. The remaining atom may be radioactive or it can also be balanced. The end result during the disintegration may be known depends on the process of how it disintegrates.
Paper, leaves, and tissues are some examples of items that disintegrate easily, breaking down quickly into smaller pieces or decomposing over time.
Yes, fission products typically have smaller nuclei than the reactants. During fission, a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons. These fission products are generally lighter and more stable than the original nucleus.
In fission reactions, the binding energy per nucleon decreases as a heavy nucleus splits into smaller fragments. This is because the smaller fragments have a higher binding energy per nucleon compared to the original heavy nucleus.
They are smaller and this is why: There are less electrons to be attracted by the same original positive charge of the nucleus. (For negative ions it's just the other way around.)
The conclusion of soil erosion is that no soil remains in the original location. It has all moved into the water area, which can cause these areas to become smaller.
A cell nucleus would be smaller than a cell because a cell nucleus is inside the cell, so it has to fit inside.
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
This scenario demonstrates the conservation of mass. Weathering breaks down the rock into smaller pieces, but the total mass of the smaller pieces remains equal to the original rock.
A proton is smaller than a molecule, which is a group of atoms bonded together. The nucleus is smaller than both a molecule and an atom, as it is the central part of an atom where most of its mass is concentrated.
because the nucleus is not an atom; an atom is smaller than a cell
