What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A characteristic of a radioactive nucleus is that it undergoes spontaneous decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays in order to achieve a more stable configuration.
What difference between atom and subatomic?
thesubatomic particles are the particles smaller than an atom
What happens when you split one atom of oxygen?
When one atom of oxygen is split, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and light. This process is known as fission and can result in the production of two smaller atoms and several subatomic particles.
What causes the atom's nucleus to split?
- for spontaneous fission the cause is an inconvenient ratio between neutrons and protons- bombardment of the nucleus with particles, especially neutrons
When an atom break what happens to that atom?
When an atom breaks, it can split into smaller particles, undergo nuclear decay to form a different element, or release energy in the form of radiation. The process of an atom breaking can result in the release of subatomic particles or waves and can have various outcomes depending on the specific type of breakage.
Can a atom divide into smaller particles?
Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms can undergo nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, which can split the nucleus into smaller particles. However, in normal chemical reactions, atoms do not divide into smaller particles.
Name everything smaller than an atom?
Components of the atom are protons, neutrons and electrons.
What is true of an atom and a nucleus?
Both are made of smaller particles.
Definitions of sub atomic particles?
Sub-atomic particles are even smaller particles that make make an atom
How did Thomson help the understanding of atom?
He discovered that the atom contained smaller particles called electrons.
How did Thomson help our understanding of the atom?
He discovered that the atom contained smaller particles called electrons.
Smallest particles that make up matter?
An Atom. It's the world's smallest particles of matter, atom's is known to be 20 times smaller than an average coffee bean.
