The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same?
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same after the emission of a beta particle by a radioactive atom.
Nucleus of the chemical element atomic number 2 emitted by some radioactive substances?
alpha particle, He nucleus
What does a radioactive atom lose as it increases its atomic number by one?
An electron, also known in this context as a beta particle.
What is nuclei that has unstable decay known as?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
What is the kind of decay that results in the formation of a different element called?
Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
What is a nucleus that is unstable and undergoes decay?
Atomic nuclei that are unstable and decaying are said to be radioactive. Radioactive decay involves alpha, beta and gamma particle emissions.
When radium atomic number 88 emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic numbers?
226Ra------------alpha particle----------222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
When radium emits an alpha particle the resulting nucleus has atomic number?
The result is radon, atomic number 86. 226Ra - alpha particle = 222Rn (radon, a radioactive gas)
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same?
The atomic number increases but the atomic mass stays the same after the emission of a beta particle by a radioactive atom.
If a radioactive nucleus with an atomic number of 88 emits an alpha particle what will the atomic number of the new nucleus be?
Two less, since the alpha particle takes away two protons.
Nucleus of the chemical element atomic number 2 emitted by some radioactive substances?
alpha particle, He nucleus
What atomic particle do a beta particle resembles?
A beta particle is a negative electron. A positive electron is a Positron.
Thorium-232 undergoes a series kf radioactive decay bu emitting energy and small particles from the atomic nucleus Which could be the stable daughter product?
Lead-208, which is not radioactive
What does a radioactive atom lose as it increases its atomic number by one?
An electron, also known in this context as a beta particle.
Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Thorium 234: Beta decay. Atomic number increases by 1.
If an isotope undergoes beta emission?
If a radioactive isotope undergoes beta emission, a. The atomic number changes B. the number of neutrons remains constant c. The mass number changes d. The todo isotope loses and electron
What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits gamma ray?
It's atomic number decreases by 2 (because it has lost two protons) but as an alpha particle is two protons and two neutrons the Atomic Mass decreases by 4.
