Californium-249 decay by an alpha process to curium-245.
The isotope californium-251 decay to curium-247 releasing an alpha particle.
Californium has an alpha type decay.
Mercury-201 is stable and does not decay.
Lead-210 decays by alpha or beta decay. The equation for the alpha decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 80206Hg + 24He representing the alpha particle as a helium nucleus. The equation for the beta decay of 210Pb is: 82210Pb --> 83210Bi + -10e where the -10e is an electron.
The equation for the beta decay of 86Rb:3786Rb --> 3886Sr+ -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron.
There are three beta decay modes for 40K, and so three equations. The equation for the negative beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 2040Ca + -10e where the -10e represents a beta particle or electron. The equation for the positive beta decay of 40K: 1940K --> 1840Ar+ 10e where the 10e represents a positive beta particle or positron. The equation for the decay of 40K by electron capture is:1940K + -10e --> 1840Ar + ve
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
Californium-251 decay by alpha emission.
Californium, with the chemical symbol Cf, is the chemical element with the atomic number 98.
The atomic number of californium is 98. The atomic mass of the most stable isotope - 251Cf - is (251) after IUPAC.
251.
The atomic number of californium is 98. The atomic mass of the most stable isotope - 251Cf - is (251) after IUPAC.
Because californium is an unstable, radioactive chemical element disappear by radioactive decay.
It emits a "beta particle," which is simply an electron. Cf-251's nucleus contains 153 neutrons. One of them spontaneously becomes a proton and an electron. The new proton bumps up its atomic number by 1, so it becomes Es-251. The overall mass is unchanged. The electron, or beta particle, is ejected from the nucleus. This is called beta decay.
Each isotope has another type of decay but generally from californium are formed curium isotopes and an alpha particle.
Californium, Symbol: Cf, Atomic Number: 98, Atomic Weight: 251
Californium's atomic number is 98. Thus, to be neutral, it must have 98 protons and 98 electrons. 251Cf is its longest lived isotope and has 251 - 98 = 153 neutrons.
