What happens when you change the number of protons electrons or neutrons?
You get a different atom. This happens to 238Uranium as it gives off alpha radiation (two protons and two neutrons).The Alpha particle is essentially a Helium nucleus. The substance remaining is no longer 238Uranium but has become 234Thorium.
Which element on bombarding with an alpha particle gives Oxygen 17?
Nitrogen-14 forms Oxygen-17 when it is bombarded by alpha particles.
After undergoing alpha decay an atorm of radium-226 becomes?
There are three types of radioactive decay, alpha, beta and gamma. Alpha decay is when an unstable, or radioactive, nucleus gives off an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. Beta decay is when a nucleus gives of a positron or an electron, called a beta particle, and gamma decay is when a nucleus gives off a gamma ray. A gamma ray is a highly energetic photon of light.
When an unstable isotope gives off any kind of radioactive decay known as an alpha particle it is giving off?
It is giving off an Alpha particle. This is the nucleus of a helium atom, i.e. 2 protons and 2 neutrons (tightly bound together), without accompanying electrons.
Is the helium nucleus a byproduct of fission?
Yes, but only if the nuclear disintegration is alpha decay. Alpha decay is only one mode of radioactive decay, and in alpha decay, a helium-4 nucleus (the alpha particle) will appear. Beta decay (two types) and spontaneous fission are also modes of radioactive decay, and different particles appear in those events.

What gives off alpha particles?
Alpha particles are a type of particle of radiation that is emmited by certain radioactive materials. The materials that give off Alpha particles are called ''Alpha emitters.''

When an atom gives off a(an)..... It becomes an atom with an atomic number of two less?
An alpha particle, which is the nucleus of a helium atom.
How much radiation does uranium give off?
Yes, uranium gives off dangerous amounts of radiation.
When an unstable isotope gives off any kind of radioactive decay known as an alpha particle it is giving off?
It is giving off an Alpha particle. This is the nucleus of a helium atom, i.e. 2 protons and 2 neutrons (tightly bound together), without accompanying electrons.
How a smoke particle move?
A smoke particle moves in a jerky motion.They are constantly moving about and changing direction. This is due to the smoke particle colliding with the air particle which gives it a 'push'.The direction of the push changes at random.This collision happens repeatedly,at random,with each smoke particle. This motion is called 'Brownian motion'. Cheers!
As uranium gives off radiation it is said to?
Uranium is a natural, radioactive chemical element.
