Even gamma decay is considered to produce a particle for each decay event: the photon.
Perhaps you are thinking of K capture (a form of beta decay), but it still emits a neutrino.
What else can I help you with?
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles, specifically alpha particles, are emitted. These alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, giving them a positive charge.
Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.
How many different appear in the decay chain?
There are about 110 elements found in the Periodic Table.... is it the same as decay chain?
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
Charged particles that are given off by the nuclei of radioisotopes as they decay are called?
Charged particles that are given off by the nuclei of radioisotopes as they decay are called decay products or radioactive decay daughters. Examples include alpha particles, beta particles, and positrons. These particles carry energy and momentum away from the decaying nucleus.
What is primarily released in radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic waves
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
From weakest to strongest decay, the order is: Gamma decay - involves the emission of high-energy photons. Beta decay - involves the emission of beta particles (electrons or positrons). Alpha decay - involves the emission of alpha particles (helium nuclei).
Which type of radioactive decay has the largest and most damaging particles?
Alpha decay has the largest and most damaging particles among the types of radioactive decay. This decay involves the emission of alpha particles, which are made up of two protons and two neutrons and have a relatively high energy level, making them more damaging to living tissues.
Why energy of beta particles is different in beta particle decay?
The energy of beta particles in beta decay is not fixed because it depends on the specific isotope and decay process involved. Beta decay can produce high-energy electrons and positrons through beta minus and beta plus decay, respectively. The energy of the beta particles is determined by the energy released during the decay process.
What is the equation of decay for americium 241?
Emitting alpha particles Am-241 decay to Np-237.
What three products of radioactive decay?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
Does the proton decay?
This all depends on the situation and context. In particle physics, proton decay is hypothetical. It is a type of radioactive decay where protons decay into lighter subatomic particles.
