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 a parent isotope?
These terms apply to the decay of radionuclides. The parent isotope is 'the starting point' of a decay series that when it decays, by giving off radiation, changes into another element, or isotope of the original element (the daughter isotope). For example: When Uranium 238 (parent isotope) decays and gives off an alpha particle, it transmutes into Thorium 234 (the daughter isotope).
Are the alpha particle and helium nucleus the same thing?
Yes and no, alpha particles are a form or radiation (a helium nucleus), they are emitted from an unstable radioactive element which decays (and turns into some lighter element) by emitting the alpha particle. This form of decay is called alpha decay.
If seaborgium undergoes alpha decay which element is created?
Isotopes of rutherfordium.
In alpha decay is the atomic number of the daughter nucleus equal to the atomic number of the isotope undergoing decay?
No, it is 2 smaller as two protons go to form the alpha particle.
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
Which daughter element is produced from the alpha decay of?
227Ac89
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.
