What isotope is formed when 3H emits a b particle?
3he
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
What is a nucleus that emits energy and particles spontaneously?
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
What kind of particles are emitted by radon?
Radon emits alpha particles.
What emits radioactive material as it gets older?
The type of radiations remain the same during time for a specific isotope.
What isotope is formed when 3H emits a b particle?
3he
What features of radioactive elements make them behave the way they do?
They have a heavy nucleus. Hence it is unstable. Hence it emits radiation in the form of alpha and beta particles to form lighter elements. After emitting these particles, it is in an exited state. It emits gamma radiation to return to its ground state
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
What is a nucleus that emits energy and particles spontaneously?
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
What is an unstable atom that emits energy called?
This is a radioactive isotope.
What kind of particles are emitted by radon?
Radon emits alpha particles.
Does Gamma decay emits energy but no particles?
it emits very high energy photons
What element does thorium 230 decay when it emits an alpha particle?
This isotope is radium-226.
What is meant by the word radioactive?
emits radioactive particles.
Any process where the nucleus emits particles is called?
radiation
What it means when an element is radioactive?
Radioactive elements have unstable nucleii. When an unstable nucleus decays it emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves and heavy particles and in the process forms new nucleii.
