Determine what type of decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231?
Alpha decay occurs when thorium-231 undergoes radioactive decay to form protactinium-231. In alpha decay, a nucleus emits an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons) to transform into a nucleus with a lower atomic number.
When an oxygen19 nucleus undergoes beta decay the nucleus formed is that of?
When an oxygen-19 nucleus undergoes beta decay, a nitrogen-19 nucleus is formed. In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, causing the atomic number to increase by one while keeping the mass number the same.
When magnesium -28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity mass number of the nucleus formed?
aluminum-28
What happens when an atom releases both an alpha and a beta particle?
When an atom releases both an alpha and a beta particle, it transforms into a different element with a lower atomic number. This process is known as double beta decay. The atom undergoes nuclear transmutation to achieve a more stable configuration.
What nuclide is formed when 90Sr undergoes?
When 90Sr undergoes beta decay, it forms 90Y (Yttrium-90). In beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, and an electron (beta particle) and an antineutrino are emitted.
When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay what is the identity and the mass number of the nucleus formed?
When magnesium-28 undergoes beta decay, a neutron is converted into a proton, resulting in the formation of an aluminum-28 nucleus. The mass number remains the same at 28, as the total number of protons and neutrons is conserved during beta decay.
What is the name of the product nuclide when bismuth-214 undergoes beta decay?
Bismuth-214 produces Polonium-214 by beta- decay. It also produces Thallium-210 by alpha decay, though at a much smaller percentage.
If astatine undergoes beta decay what element will result?
Atomic number becomes two units less and atomic mass four units less. Bismuth is the answer.
When cobalt 60 undergoes nuclear decay it emits?
Beta Particle
Thorium-234 atomic number 90 the number of neutrons 144 undergo beta decay what is the resulting element?
When thorium-234 undergoes beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus is converted into a proton, resulting in the formation of protactinium-234, with atomic number 91.
What happens when carbon 14 undergoes radioactive decay?
6C14 ---------> 7N14 + -1 e0 Beta particle is emitted and carbon changes into nitrogen
What radioactive isotope undergoes beta decay to produce sulfur 32?
Phosphorus-32 is the radioactive isotope that undergoes beta decay to produce sulfur-32. During beta decay, a neutron in the nucleus of phosphorus-32 is converted into a proton and an electron, resulting in the formation of sulfur-32.
