Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What type of decay is involved when polonium -214 decays into lead -210?
It is alpha decay. In the process, an alpha particle(He2+) is released. So, it is called alpha decay.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of Po210 if it undergoes 2 alpha decay then a beta decay followed by another alpha decay.?
92Au 282Xe +13S
When was mendelevium created?
Mendelevium was obtained in 1955 after the bombardment of 253Es with alpha particles in a cyclotron.
Which equation correctly represents the alpha decay of polonium 214?
By alpha decay polonium-214 is transformed in lead-210. Po-214--------------alpha--------------Pb-210
How can mendelevium be produced?
Mendelevium was obtained in 1955 after the bombardment of 253Es with alpha particles in a cyclotron.
Why was mendelevium made an element?
Mendelevium was obtained in 1955 after the bombardment of 253Es with alpha particles in a cyclotron.
What is the origin of the element of mendelevium?
Mendelevium was obtained in 1955 after the bombardment of 253Es with alpha particles in a cyclotron.
How is mendelevium obtained?
The first isotope of mendelevium (Es-256) was obtained in 1955 bombarding einsteinium-253 with alpha particles:Es-253(alpha)Md-256 + n
Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
It's called alpha-decay. The two protons and two neutrons are removed in the form of alpha particles, or helium nuclei.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of Po210 if it undergoes 2 alpha decay then a beta decay followed by another alpha decay.?
92Au 282Xe +13S

What is the heaviest of the forms of radioactive decay is?
I'm pretty sure its alpha.
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of radium 226?
The equation for the alpha decay of 226Ra: 88226Ra --> 86222Rn + 24He The alpha particle is represented as a helium (He) nucleus.
