What kind of reaction can change one element into another?
There are only 2 ways that can happen, fission or fusion. Fusion is when two atoms combine to become a larger atom (almost exclusively two hydrogen atoms becoming 1 helium atom). Fission is much more common and is present in all radioactive elements.
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.
Which is the daughter element in the following decay equation 149 64 gd 4 2 he plus 145 62 sm?
145/62 sm is the daughter element in the above equation.
What is the alpha decay of the Thorium isotope Th 232?
Seems some mistake in printing the mass number of thorium. It has to be 227. No Th-225 is available as far as the tables have been analysed. When a alpha particle comes out then the atomic number of parent is reduced by 2 and its mass number will be reduced by 4. So in case of Th-227, it gets changed to Ra-223 after the emission of an alpha particle.
When an unstable Bromine nucleus undergoes alpha decay the nucleus formed is that of?
If a bromine atom underwent alpha decay, the result would be an arsenic atom with a mass number four lower than the original bromine atom. I did a little research on this, however, and it appears that there are no bromine isotopes that undergo alpha decay. I have provided a link to the interactive table of nuclides.
Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of americium 241?
The alpha decay of americium-241 produce neptunium-237.
What is the daughter element produced from the alpha decay 217 87 Fr?
nyan cat
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
Can alpha and beta decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same elements?
False.
In alpha decay the parent element and the daughter element can be different isotopes of the same element but in beta decay the parent and daughter element are always the same?
No. In both the cases the element would definitely change. As alpha particle comes out then the new element would have two less in atomic number where as in beta particle decay the new element will have one higher in atomic number.
What is the product of radioactive decay called?
Product of radioactive decay 42He is an alpha particle
How can you use the parent element to determine the daughter element in alpha decay?
In alpha decay, the atomic number decreases by 2, while the atomic mass number decreases by 4.
What is the daughter nucleus produced wnhen 213Bi undergoes alpha decay?
209 83Bi
What is the equation for alpha decay of uranium?
parent element
What is the kind of decay that results in the formation of a different element called?
Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
What is the kind of decay that's results in the formation of a different element?
Alpha decay is a kind of radioactive decay in which an alpha particle is emitted from an atom. An alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, when an atom of an element undergoes alpha decay, it loses two protons, which changes the atom from one element to another. This is because each different element is identified by the number of protons in its atomic nuclei.
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay does it become a different element?
That depends on the type of decay, alpha and beta decay change the atom into a different element but gamma decay does not.
