What nuclear reactions are associated with radioactive decay?
weak force
Which particles that make up an atom are involved in nuclear reactions?
Protons, electrons, and neutrons are the subatomic particles that are involved in nuclear reactions.
What is the spontaneous release of particles or radiation from the nucleus of an atom called?
This is known as nuclear fission; the type of reaction that brings us nuclear power.
What is the balanced nuclear equation for the alpha decay of thorium 230?
Th-230(alpha)Ra-226.
How does it go from beta to alpha particles?
It's not possible to change beta particles to alpha particles or vice versa; they're two very different things produced by different processes. Beta particles can be either electrons or they can be positrons, which are anti-electrons. Alpha particles are helium-4 nuclei, which are composed of a pair of protons and a pair of neutrons. Beta particles are produced in beta decay (one in each type), and alpha particles are produced in alpha decay. Both of these types of nuclear decay release particulate radiation. Links can be found below to check things out.
Which of the following is not produced by nuclear decay A Alpha particles B Beta particles C Gamma rays D Delta particles?
There is no such thing as delta particles in nuclear decay.
Is nuclear decay associated with physics?
Yes.
How do you do nuclear equations?
A nuclear equation describes nuclear decay.
Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?
alpha particles
What nuclear reactions are associated with radioactive decay?
weak force
Type of nuclear decay consisting of a helium nucleus?
Alpha decay. Alpha particles are the same as a helium-4 nucleus.
What decay has no particle associated with it?
All nuclear decay has some kind of particle or particles associated with it. Even the metastable decay of 4399Tcm, a gamma at 142.7 Kev, is considered to be a particle emission, because a gamma is a photon, and a photon is an elementary particle, per our understanding of modern quantum mechanics and particle physics, even though it has no mass at rest state.
What type nuclear decay produces particles that are identical to the helium nucleus?
an alpha particle
How are isotopes are formed?
Isotopes are formed either naturally through radioactive decay of elements or artificially through element irradiation by particles as neutrons, protons, electrons, or alpha particles in accelerators or nuclear reactors through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions in nuclear reactors.supernovasparticle acceleratorsnuclear reactorsnuclear explosionsradioactive decay
What is associated with a nucleus breaking down and emitting a helium nucleus?
nuclear fission, alpha decay
Is nuclear decay an example of a nuclear change?
Yes, it is. Nuclear decay is a process that an unstable atom goes through to lose energy and move toward a more stable state. (It may take more than one decay.) In nuclear decay, the nucleus undergoes a change by releasing a particle or particles and electromagnetic energy. Links are provided to related Wikipedia articles and related questions.
What particles or waves given off by atoms undergoing nuclear decay?
alpha decay - fully ionized helium nucleibeta decay - electrons or positrons, and electron neutrinosgamma decay - very high energy photons
