What is a helium nucleus emitted from the nucleus of a decaying isotope and represented by He with a 2 plus charge?
It is called an alpha particle.
A atom with a altered number of neutrons?
Two atoms with the same # of protons & electrons but different # of neutrons are called isotopes, which is what I assume you want. If the number of neutrons changes, and # protons increases, then there is a Beta - particle emitted. If # of protons decreases, then an alpha particle is emitted.
When C6 emits a beta particle what does it become?
When a beta particle is emitted a neutron changes to a proton in the nucleus. Thus the molecule would have one more proton, so would be an isotope of nitrogen.
What will an atom of an isotope with a large neutron to proton ratio probably emit?
Beta particle
When the radioactive isotope of Th-234 emits a beta particle to become Pa-234 it also loses a small amount of mass which is emitted as?
gamma radiation!
A beta particle is formed in the nucleus of an isotope due to the?
Radioactive decay; beta decay is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta particle (an electron or a positron) is emitted
When a beta particle is emitted does the mass number of the isotope remains unchanged?
With the ejection of a beta particle (electron), there is a minute loss of mass. Electrons have very low mass. The atomic number increases though as a neutron is transformed into a proton. A antineutrino is also ejected. In a similar process, positron emission also called beta decay,- a positron is emitted and a proton is transformed into a neutron, the atomic number decreases. A neutrino is also ejected.
What does an isotope release as a beta particle?
Usually when isotopes undergo beta decay they emit an electron, but some isotopes emit a positron instead. This depends on the relative number of neutrons to protons in the isotope which type of beta particle is emitted. An excess of neutrons leads to the emission of an electron, while an excess of protons leads to the emission of a positron.
Which subatomic particle identifies an isotope?
The number of neutrons is different for each isotope.
What is the new chemical identity of the radium atom after it has emitted an alpha particle?
The naturally occurring isotope of radium we encounter is radium-226. It appears in the decay chain of uranium. When radium-226 undergoes alpha decay, radon-222 is the result. The equation looks like this: 88226Ra => 24He + 86222Rn The 24He is the alpha particle, which is a helium nucleus.
When the hydrogen isotope tritium 3 emits a beta particle it becomes an isotope of?
Helium
An isotope of radium Z equals 88 226Ra emitted an α particle What is the daughter nucleus produced Explain why?
When 226Rn (atomic number 86) emits an alpha particle, it produces 222Po (atomic number 84). Emission of an alpha particle means the atom is losing two protons and two neutrons. This reduces the atomic number by two (the number of protons), and reduces the atomic mass by 4 (the number of protons plus the number of neutrons). So the number of the isotope is reduced by 4.
