This might be the stable isotope of beryllium, 9Be:
alpha + 9Be -> 12C + n
alpha: 2p + 2n
Be: 4p + 5n
left side: 6p + 7n
C: 6p + 6n
right side: 6p + 7n
Incidentally, this would not be a decay, rather an transfer reaction, I think.

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).
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.
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.
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?
lithium
What decays into 234Th plus a?
This is the isotope of uranium - U-238.
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
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.
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.
What type of particle is captured by a nucleus during a fission reaction?
The nucleus splits to form two or more smaller nuclei.
Does alpha have a 1 plus charge?
An alpha particle has the charge 2+ and the mass 4.
What is carbon plus something equals carbon dioxide?
carbon plus oxygen makes carbon dioxide
