Why is there no technetium in nature?
Technetium exist in nature only in ultratraces; being unstable technetium technetium was lost by radioactive decay.
What change occurs in the nucleus of molybdenum to produce technetium?
Molybdenum-99 is transformed in technetium-99m by beta decay.
If technetium 99 emits a gamma ray what is the product?
Radium 226 has decays by Alpha emmision to produce Radon-222. Sometimes a gamma ray is emmited at the same time and lower energy alpha is emitted the product is same in both cases. Gamma emmision by itself causes no change to the atom the nucleus just ends up with a lower energy.
What is a nuclear equation for technetium decay?
The equation for the beta decay of 165Ta is: 73165Ta --> 72165Hf + 10e + ve where the e is a positive beta particle or positron.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
Why is there no technetium in nature?
Technetium exist in nature only in ultratraces; being unstable technetium technetium was lost by radioactive decay.
Is technetium an alloy?
All isotopes of technetium are radioactive. Technetium is found only in trace quantities in nature, and then usually only in certain ores where it is a product of radioactive decay. All of the technetium used is synthetic.
What change occurs in the nucleus of molybdenum to produce technetium?
Molybdenum-99 is transformed in technetium-99m by beta decay.
How were no one had found a trace of technetium?
Technetium exist in infinitesimal traces in some uranium ores. Being radioactive and unstable technetium was lost from the Earth by decay.
How dangerous is technetium?
Technetium is not really dangerous. Since doctors will often use Technetium 99 as a radioactive tracer. It may be radioactive but its decay is slow and will produce a minute amount of gamma rays.
If technetium 99 emits a gamma ray what is the product?
Radium 226 has decays by Alpha emmision to produce Radon-222. Sometimes a gamma ray is emmited at the same time and lower energy alpha is emitted the product is same in both cases. Gamma emmision by itself causes no change to the atom the nucleus just ends up with a lower energy.
What is the metod of decay for technetium 99?
Tc-99 has a beta disintegration to Ru-99.
What is the lightest element that can undergo radioactive decay and what type of decay occurs in that element?
The lightest "element" that can undergo radioactive decay is the isotope hydrogen-3, which undergoes beta decay. The lightest element with no radioactively stable isotopes is technetium, and its isotopes have different modes of decay.
If an atom decays by gamma decay Which atom is left after the decay?
14 7 N
What is the product of a radioactive decay called?
The product.
What is a nuclear equation for technetium decay?
The equation for the beta decay of 165Ta is: 73165Ta --> 72165Hf + 10e + ve where the e is a positive beta particle or positron.
What would be the product of the beta decay of bismuth?
The beta decay product of francium-223 is radium-223.
