Order gamma decay beta decay and alpha deacy form weakest to strongest?
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
How were Alpha decay and beta decay discovered?
Alpha, beta, and gamma radiation were first observed from a sample of Radium in a magnetic field.
What is the beta decay of radium 226?
Radium-226 does not decay by beta decay. It decays by alpha decay to radon-222.
What correctly describes the charge of beta particles and alpha particles?
Beta particles, from beta- decay, have a charge of -1. Beta particles, from beta+ decay, have a charge of +1. Alpha particles have a charge of +2.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
Alpha and beta decay emit what?
radiation
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
How is the atomic number of a nucleus change is it by alpha decay or beta decay or gamma decay?
Alpha decay decreases the atomic number by two. Beta- decay increases the atomic number by one. Beta+ decay decreases the atomic number by one. Gamma decay does not change the atomic number. However, gamma decay is often incidental to a precipitating alpha or beta event that upsets the energy equilibrium in the nucleus, so the two are not unrelated.
What is the nuclear equation for the alpha decay of uranium 239?
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
What are the possible products of the alpha decay of uranium-238?
The only possible product of the alpha decay of 92238U is 90234Th.
What is the equations for the beta decay of radon-198?
Radon-198 does not decay via beta decay. It is thought to decay by alpha decay, but that is not certain. The equation would be ... 86198Rn -> (Alpha, T1/2 = 86 ms) -> 84194Po + 24He2+
