What element is formed when carbon loses a beta particle?
When carbon loses a beta particle, it becomes nitrogen. This is because beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton, leading to the element changing by one on the periodic table.
What happens when an atom gains or loses a neutron?
If this were to happen, which for most nuclei would be unbelievably unlikely, it would form a different isotope of the same element. I can't offhand think of any way a nucleus could gain or lose a neutron without something else happening at the same time. A neutron can change into a proton by emitting an electron (and an electron antineutrino), or a proton can absorb an electron and change into a neutron, but in both of these cases there's more going on than just the neutron number of the nucleus changing.
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
Where is the neutron on an element?
The neutron is found inside the nucleus of the atom.
When an element decays what does it lose?
in alpha decay it loses a helium nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons)in beta decay a neutron converts to a proton and it ejects an electron and a neutrinoin gamma decay an excited nuclear state relaxes and a gamma photon is emittedin "k-capture" an inner electron is eaten by the nucleus converting a proton to a neutron and it ejects a neutrinothere are also a few other mechanisms.
How does radioactive decay produce new elements?
In alpha decay, the nucleus loses two protons and two neutrons. The resulting element will therefore have an element number that is two less.In beta minus decay, a neutron gets converted to a proton. The resulting element will have one more proton - the element number will be one more. In beta plus decay, a proton gets converted to a neutron. The resulting element will have one less proton - the element number will be one less.
What element has a neutron of 4?
Be
CAN YOU HAVE AN element WITHOUT A NEUTRON?
yes, H-1 atom has no neutron
What elements can be used as a neutron source?
the element that can be used as a neutron source is beryllium
what element have a subatomic particle?
Neutron
Is neutron an element?
No a neutron is not an element it is a part of an atom. Just like an electron or a proton. or like a fetus is not a cat is is the part of a cat
How do you calculate absorption of the elements for neutron?
Absorption of neutrons by an element depends on neutron cross-section data for that element at the energy of interest. The absorption cross-section gives the probability of a neutron being absorbed by an atom of the element. Measuring the absorptions at a certain neutron energy can help in determining the propensity of an element to absorb neutrons at that energy level.
