Which changes in beta decay mass number or the charge of the nucleus?
Beta decay results in either an increase or decrease in the number of protons, which results in a change in the nuclear charge and produces an atom of a different element.
Does atomic mass stay the same?
The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
What is a nuclear decay graph?
Make a graph by plotting the atomic number vs the mass number of stable isotopes. If you then locate the position of some unstable isotope and it is on one side of the stable isotopes it indicates beta decay, but if on the other side it indicated alpha decay. This a nuclear decay graph.
What nuclear particle basically has no mass but does have a charge?
The electron has a neglible mass and a charge of minus 1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs.
What nuclear particle has the same relative mass the proton but has no electrical charge?
The Neutron
What product of nuclear decay has mass but no charge?
Neutrons have no charge, but have mass. This is also true of neutrinos, though the mass is considered negligible for most purposes.
What is mass converted to in nuclear processes?
nuclear decay, such as alpha decay or beta decay.
Which changes in beta decay mass number or the charge of the nucleus?
Beta decay results in either an increase or decrease in the number of protons, which results in a change in the nuclear charge and produces an atom of a different element.
Is fusion nuclear decay or nuclear synthesis?
Fusion is nuclear synthesis, combining atoms of lesser mass into atoms of greater mass. Decay is reducing the mass of larger (unstable) atoms to form atoms of lesser mass.
What are the particles emitted during radioactive decay with their mass and charge?
alpha: mass 4, charge +2beta: mass ~1/1800, charge -1gamma: mass 0, charge 0
What are the two quantities are always conserved in nuclear decay equation?
Energy and electrical charge are two quantities that are always conserved in nuclear decay equation.
Does atomic mass stay the same?
The atomic mass of a radioactive atoms is changed during the radioactive decay (alpha decay, neutron decay, proton decay, double proton decay), spontaneous or artificial fission, nuclear reactions.
What is the nuclear decay equation for zirconium 97?
Zirconium does not have an isotope with mass 97.
Is a proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and no charge?
No, that would be a neutron. A proton is a nuclear particle with a mass of 1 AMU and a 1+ charge
How do you balance a nuclear decay reaction?
Follow a few rules called conservation of charge and conservation of mass number. Add all charges on the left (protons and beta particles) and this must equal the total charge on the right. Total of mass numbers on the left must equal the total of mass numbers on the right.
What are the forms of nuclear decay?
what are the forms of nuclear decay
