When are heavy nuclei most stable?
When they contain an excess of neutrons
Are neutrons and electrons in radioactive isotopes?
Because the structure of their nuclei is unstable: too many or too few neutrons, excess energy causing metastable state, etc. To get more stable they decay, emitting alpha, beta, and/or gamma radiation.
What are isodiapheres?
Isodiapheres are nuclides which have the same difference in the number of neutrons and protons or nuclei with same neutron excess.
What can happen if the body cannot get rid of excess heat?
The body can become overheated and die.
How do you describe how stars release energy?
Through nuclear fusion, where smaller atoms are fused together to make larger atoms under extreme pressures and temperatures. Usually hydrogen nuclei are being fused together to make helium nuclei. The total mass of the components is more than the final helium nuclei, the excess mass is turned into energy (E=MC^2). Massive amounts of energy are released through this process.
A nuclear chain reaction occurs when excess?
When excess electrons collide with other nuclei.
When are heavy nuclei most stable?
When they contain an excess of neutrons
What produces light without excess loss of thermal energy?
Laser emitting diode
A nuclear chain reaction occurs when excess collide with other nuclei?
Neutrons
A nuclear Chain reaction occurs when?
When excess electrons collide with other nuclei.
Where did the atomic bomb get its power?
From the excess binding energy of the protons and neutrons in the atomic nuclei of certain isotopes.
What does every excess becomes a vice mean?
every excess become a vice..
Why do unstable nuclei undergo nuclear decay?
The simple answer is to release excess energy and thus become more stable.The full answer requires some understanding of Quantum Mechanics, as it is a quantum process and even though an atom has excess energy to release its current state may be one that Quantum Mechanics prohibits (or encourages) certain changes from occurring.
What is gamma emission?
In gamma rays atom becomes more stable by emitting excess energy in the form of gamma radiation. Gamma rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
What become inflamed in bronchitis?
The Bronchi become inflamed with Bronchitis, and they produce excess mucus.
Are neutrons and electrons in radioactive isotopes?
Because the structure of their nuclei is unstable: too many or too few neutrons, excess energy causing metastable state, etc. To get more stable they decay, emitting alpha, beta, and/or gamma radiation.
Why is it said radioactive nuclei undergo decay to gain stability?
Each decay releases excess energy from the nucleus, bringing it closer to a stable ground state.
