Alpha decay. Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus.


Do alpha particles contain helium?

No, they're just similar to a helium nucleus.


What is associated with a nucleus breaking down and emitting a helium nucleus?

nuclear fission, alpha decay


Is hydrogen hydrogen helium alpha decay?

No. Hydrogen atoms combining to form helium is nuclear fusion. Alpha decay is a process whereby a large atomic nucleus ejects a helium nucleus.


What type of nucleus is during a solar nuclear reaction by the fusion of four nuclei?

During a solar nuclear reaction, the type of nucleus formed by the fusion of four nuclei is a helium nucleus, also known as an alpha particle. This process is known as nuclear fusion and is responsible for the energy production in the core of the Sun.

What type of nuclear reaction results in a single nucleus undergoing a decrease in atomic number and the release of a helium nucleus?

The nuclear reaction that results in a single nucleus undergoing a decrease in atomic number and the release of a helium nucleus is called alpha decay. In this process, an unstable nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) which consists of two protons and two neutrons, causing the original nucleus to decrease in atomic number by 2.


What is the process in which an atomic nucleus expels a helium nucleus?

We give the name alpha decay to this nuclear decay event. The alpha particle, which is a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons bound together, is, in fact a helium-4 nucleus.


If a helium ion is emmited during the disintegration of a nucleus what kind of decay is this called?

Nuclear emission of a helium ion is called alpha decay.
