What species are formed by the decay of neutron?
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
Why is a neutron not radioactive in a nucleon?
Neutron decay occurs though the weak interaction of W bosons. While in the nucleus, the strong interaction (gluons) hold the neutron together in the atom. The neutron can still decay while in the nucleus causing beta decay.
What kind of decay is it when a nuclear reaction in which a neutron is transformed into a proton and in electron?
When a neutron -> proton, it is called a Beta - (minus) decay.
Is neutron number conserved in radioactive decay?
The number of neutrons is not conserved during decay.
The decay of a neutron into a proton also ejects a small particle called a?
the decay of neutron into proton givesz small praticle called negative beta particle
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
What does xenon 135 decay into?
Xenon-135 decay to caesium-135 by beta emission.
Which type of radioactive decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus?
only the gamma decay.
When sodium is conrted into a neutron in a beta plus decay?
When sodium is converted into an neutron it will result in the nuclear transmutation.
Is uranium 238 a slow or fast neutron absorber?
uranium 238 is a fast neutron absorber the answer is correct but for more explanation:- when uranium 238 is bombard by neutron >>> uranium 238 , undergoes B decay>>>Np 239 ,undergoes B decay >>> Pu 239 finally undergoes alpha decay >>> fissile U
Do all atoms have beta decay?
No. Many atoms do not decay at all. Many that do undergo alpha decay. A few atoms emit neutron radiation.
Why neutron mass is greater of proton mass?
A neutron could split into a proton plus an electron during the radioactive decay..
