The nuclei of radioactive elements may emitt one or more of the following; Gamma Rays --- very energetic electromagnetic wave pulses Beta Negative Rays --- electrons Beta Positive Rays ---- positrons (positive electrons) Alpha Rays ------ a composite particle consisting of 2 neutrons & 2 protons.
Natural radioactivity is exhibited by several elements, including radium, uranium, and other members of the actinide series, and by some isotopes of lighter elements, such as carbon-14, used in radioactive dating. Radioactivity may also be induced, or created artificially, by bombarding the nuclei of normally stable elements in a particle accelerator. Essentially there is no difference between these two manifestations of radioactivity. The radiation produced during radioactivity is predominantly of three types, designated as alpha, beta, and gamma rays. These types differ in velocity, in the way in which they are affected by a magnetic field, and in their ability to penetrate or pass through matter. Other, less common, types of radioactivity are electron capture (capture of one of the orbiting atomic electrons by the unstable nucleus) and positron emission-both forms of beta decay and both resulting in the change of a proton to a neutron within the nucleus-an internal conversion, in which an excited nucleus transfers energy directly to one of the atom's orbiting electrons and ejects it from the atom.
Radioactive emissions include x-rays, beta particles, alpha particles, and gamma rays. They are the emissions from forms of spontaneous radioactive decay.
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
Radioactive emission.
Radioactive elements give off radiation. The emission of radiation occurs when an unstable atomic nucleus tries to become stable. Some examples of radioactive elements are radium, curium, nobelium, rubidium, and polonium.
All fuels (with the exception of nuclear fuels) were originally dependant on sunshine for their creation. Coal, gasoline, wood, peat, diesel. Nuclear fuels depend on the emission of neutrons from a radioactive substance, and the radioactive materials used all have primal (original) energy available in them. The temperature of the inner core of the Earth is about 5700oC, about the same as the surface of the Sun. This eventually gives us geothermal heat and geothermal energy. The inner core of the Earth is heated by radioactive decay of the heavy elements.
Minerals like uraninite and carnotite are highly radioactive ores of uranium.
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
The reason for all types of radioactive decay is the instability of the nucleus, some unstable nuclei become stable by alpha emission and some by beta emission.
Radioactive decay has nothing to do with chemistry and therefore may not be a chemical reaction. But since matter changes its properties (they are even irreversibly) it is considered to be reaction of one (elemental) reactant. Most decay reactions are kinetically of zero order.Different types of radioactive decay include decay by alpha emission (emits an alpha particle, 2 protons and 2 neutrons), Beta - emission, and Beta + emission (positron emission or electron capture).Some radioactive materials also output gamma rays, protons, neutrons, and can decay by fission.
PROTON has a positive charge. In certain elements there is proton emission possible. Refer to radioactive elements in detail to get exact answer to your question.
