When radon undergoes natural transmutation reaction it emits?
alpha particle
When radium-226 (atomic number 88) decays by emitting an alpha particle it becomes .?
?
Which type of reaction occurs when the high-energy particle collides with the nucleus of an atom converting the atom to a atom of a different element?
transmutation
What is the result radioactive decay?
One type of atom (nuclide) breaks up, emitting some particle and energy, and converting into another type of nuclide.
Is radium identical to an alpha particle?
No. Radium is a heavy metal, atomic number 88 (with 88 protons). An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, atomic number 2. Radium decays by each atom emitting an alpha particle, becoming Radon gas, atomic nubmer 86.
Result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
Would result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
What would result in transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
What would result transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.
What would result in a transmutation?
An alpha particle being emitted would result in a transmutation.

What can nuclear transmutation result from?
A radioactive atom can decay spontaneously, at a random moment. A transmutation can also be the result of an atom capturing some other particle, or nucleus - which can make certain types of atoms unstable.
What part of the chemical name thorium nitrate is particle emitting radioactive?
Thorium is a radioactive metal.
What is the equation for the alpha decay of americium 243?
Americium-243 might undergo alpha decay to become neptunium-239, and here is that equation: 95243Am => 93239Np + 24He++ The americium-243 has undergone transmutation to become neptunium-239, and the alpha particle, which is a helium-4 nucleus, can be seen on the tail end of the equation.
