What type of decay does fermium undergo?
The most common is alpha decay.
Which isotopes are most likely to decay?
Radoactive isotopes
What is a by product of radioactive decay?
The 3 things that can happen during radioactive decay is the 3 parts of decay: Alpha decay, Beta decay, and Gamma decay. In alpha decay, which is the weakest part of decay, it has a positive helium neuclus(2 protons and 2 neutrons), and the particles will burn your skin, but can be easily stopped by a peice of paper. This is the most ionising as the helium nucleus can take electrons from other atoms and make them unstable. This can give rise to cancers as it distorts cells. In Beta decay (an electron or a positron) is emitted. In the case of electron emission, it is referred to as "beta minus" (β−). It can be stopped by 3mm of aluminum. Gamma decay, which is the strongest, can only be stopped by 3cm of lead. It has electromagnetic waves, it contains the most energy, and therefore is the most penetrating, but normally it just passes straight through the human body. Radioactive decay can be very harmful, and its best to stay away. This question has been anwsered by Rae-Ann Salisbury.
The uranium-235 decay series begins with the emission of an alpha particle If the daughter decays by beta emission what is the resulting nuclide?
Uranium-235 will not beta decay first. If you google "Chart of Nuclides" you can follow the entire decay chain yourself using each isotope's most likely decay type.
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What is spontaneous emission of radiation from an element?
This could have many names such as 'decay', 'radioactive decay', or 'radiation.
What type of decay does fermium undergo?
The most common is alpha decay.
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
What type of plankton eat decay matter?
Most plankton eat decay matter. But The most often one is Phytoplankton.
What is the process by which some substances spontaniously emit radiation?
All elements with an atomic number >83 are naturally radioactive
Does decay release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere?
The main way in which decay releases carbon dioxide is through the respiration of the microorganisms which actually carry out the process and digest the dead matter.
What brand names does Macy's carry?
macy
Does cars decay?
Parts of most cars decay, especially rubber parts in hot, dry climates.
Do organisms decay quickly in a desert?
Most organisms that die are quickly devoured by scavengers in the desert and do not have the opportunity to decay.
What does graphite decay into?
Graphite is the most stable form of the already stable element carbon, and so will not decay at all.
How much fiber do children need?
There are many places that you can find great quality cooking knives. Most department stores will carry high brand names of names as well as specialty cooking stores.
