What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?
The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.
Radioactive decay do not involve electrons?
That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.
How is the radioactive decay of Krypton different from the radioactive decay of Americium?
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
What is primarily released in radioactive decay?
Particles or electromagnetic waves
What is the change in isotopes over time due to the emission of radioactive particles is known as?
You think probable to radioactive decay.
What type of radioactive decay the largest and most damaging particles?
alpha decay
What force is involved in radioactive decay and the production of beta particles?
The weak force, or weak interaction, contributes to radioactive decay and the production of beta particles. The relationship between the strong force and the electromagnetic force also contributes to radioactive decay.
What process is a radioactive decay?
The process of a radioactive decay is atomic nucleus of an unstable atom loses energy by emitting ionizing particles
What term indicates the process in which unstable nuclide release radiation?
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
What three products of radioactive decay?
alpha particles, beta particles, gamma radiation
What is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles are given off?
Alpha decay is the type of radioactive decay in which positive particles, specifically alpha particles, are emitted. These alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together, giving them a positive charge.
When the nucleus of an atom changes by emiting particles what is this called?
radioactive decay
