A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an?
A lone neutron spontaneously decays into a proton plus an electron plus an antineutrino (to carry off extra energy).
Does there seem to be any pattern in the eries f alpha and beta decays?
Yes, there are observable patterns in the series of alpha and beta decays. Alpha decay typically occurs in heavy and unstable nuclei, leading to a reduction in atomic mass and a change in atomic number by two. In contrast, beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton (beta-minus) or a proton into a neutron (beta-plus), resulting in an increase or decrease in atomic number by one. These decay processes often lead to the formation of daughter isotopes, which may continue to decay, creating a decay series that eventually stabilizes into non-radioactive elements.
After undergoing alpha decay an atom of radium -226 becomes?
Radium 226 decays by alpha emission to Radon 222. A helium nucleus is emitted by alpha emission which makes the mass reduce by 4 and its atomic number by 2.
What decays into 234Th plus a?
This is the isotope of uranium - U-238.
What are the 4 types of radiation and what does each type do to the nucleus?
Usually with the '4 types of radiation' it is referred to:- alpha radiation (emission of an alpha particle = a helium nucleus = 2 neutrons + 2 protons):Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number by 2.- beta-minus radiation (emission of a beta- particle = an electron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number increases by 1 (a neutron decays into a proton and beta- radiation)- beta-plus radiation (emission of a beta+ particle = a positron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number decreases by 1 (under the addition of energy a proton decays into a neutron and a positron)- gamma radiation (emission of high energetic photons)The emitting nucleus doesn't change its mass number and atomic number,but it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
Write a balanced nuclear equation for the radioactive decay of a boron-10 plus a neutron results in the formation of another element and the release of an alpha particle?
Boron-10 (^10B) undergoing neutron capture forms boron-11 (^11B), followed by the emission of an alpha particle (helium-4 atom). The balanced nuclear equation would be: ^10B + n → ^11B + ^4He
When a neutron decays into a proton the electron is emitted from the nucleus what is this kind of radioactivity called?
If an electron is released from the nucleus (and not from an electron shell) then it would have been emitted by a neutron in beta decay. In beta-minus decay, a neutral neutron emits an electron and an anti-neutrino and becomes a proton; in beta-plus decay, a proton emits a positron and a neutrino and becomes a neutron.
Is an alpha charge a 0 - plus?
No because alpha is not a word
What actors and actresses appeared in Plus Alpha - 1989?
The cast of Plus Alpha - 1989 includes: Eppin Honda
Why alpha and beta decay will change the nucleus and produce new element?
Alpha radiation is when the nucleus of an unstable element releases an alpha particle (two protons and two neutrons; the equivalent of the nucleus of a helium atom)due to the weak nuclear force. The resulting atom is now a different element because the number of protons it has determines which element it is. Beta radiation (β− ) is when a neutron in an unstable atom with an excess of neutrons turns into a proton because of a virtual W− boson, one of the particles that carries the weak force. This boson then decays into an electron and an electron type antineutrino. Another type of beta radiation (β+ ) is the same as the previous type except that a proton decays into a neutron and a W+ boson decays into a positron (electron antiparticle) and an electron type neutrino instead. Beta radiation changes the number of protons in a nucleus and therefore the type of element.
When sodium is conrted into a neutron in a beta plus decay?
When sodium is converted into an neutron it will result in the nuclear transmutation.
