Alpha, Beta, and Gamma
what are the forms of nuclear decay
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Alpha nuclear decay
Helium-3 is not produced; it is a naturally occurring isotope formed through the decay of tritium. It can also be extracted during the operation of nuclear reactors and obtained through the decay of tritium in nuclear weapons.
The equation for the beta decay of 3H is: 13H --> 23He + -10e where -10e represents a negative beta particle or electron.
The weak nuclear force is responsible for some forms of radioactivity. It is involved in processes such as beta decay, where a neutron in an atomic nucleus is converted into a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino.
yep, sure are
The rate of nuclear decay increases as the temperature of a radioactive sample increases. This is due to the increased kinetic energy of the nuclei at higher temperatures, which facilitates interactions that lead to nuclear decay.
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are processes that involve nuclear reactions but are not examples of radioactive decay. Chemical reactions, such as burning wood, do not involve nuclear processes and are also not examples of radioactive decay.
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
The only hydrogen isotope that undergoes any type of radioactive decay is tritium (hydrogen-3), it undergoes beta decay to become helium-3. If that's not what you were asking about, I'm confused by your question.
