Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.
What do GM counters detect?
A Geiger-Müller (GM) counter is used to detect ionizing radiation, specifically from various nuclear decay processes like beta decay, gamma decay, and sometimes alpha decay.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
What happened during nuclear decay?
New elements(or isotopes of decaying element) are produced and energy is released
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
How is it that radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and nuclear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
That's because of where each of these processes occur. There is no nuclear fusion inside of Earth. There is probably a small amount of radioactive decay in the Sun, but the power produced by it is insignificant, compared to the huge amount of power produced by nuclear fusion.
How come beta particles are electrons and at the same time they are produced from nuclear which contains only proton and neutron?
They are a product of the weak nuclear force, allowing the decay of neutrons to protons and electrons. They did not preexist in the nucleus before this decay.
What nuclear decay have similar qualities to helium nucleus?
Alpha nuclear decay
Which equation represents a spontaneous nuclear decay?
All nuclear decay is spontaneous.
Is radioactive decay and nuclear decay the same?
yep, sure are
As the temperature of a radioactive sample increases the rate of the nuclear decay?
It stays the same. Temperature has no effect on the rate of nuclear decay.
Do element identities reamin the same or change during nuclear decay?
That depends on the nuclear decay type. For gamma decay, the identity does NOT change, but for alpha and beta, it does.
