Does alpha decay produce helium atoms?

No, alpha decay does not directly produce helium atoms. Alpha decay is a type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle, which consists of two protons and two neutrons. This alpha particle is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, but it is not considered a helium atom until it captures electrons and becomes electrically neutral.


Where could one locate Alpha particles?

Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.


Alpha decay results in the formation of a new element with the atomic number?

That's a very vague question, but if it's the theory you're after;If a nucleus is heavy (>82 protons, generally at A2 level) it will emit an alpha particle. For example,238U --> 234Th + 4α + 0νe_92______76___ 2___0In this emission, Uranium-238 is the parent nucleus. It emits an alpha particle, which has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. Thallium-234 is the daughter nucleus. The other thing is a neutrino. It is a lepton, and is there to balance the lepton number.Apologies for the big black line, but it's the only way I could get wikians to play nicely.


Low albumin and high alpha 1 globulin and high alpha 2 globulin?

Low albumin levels could indicate malnutrition or liver disease, while high levels of alpha 1 and alpha 2 globulins could suggest acute inflammation or infection. Further evaluation, such as liver function tests and inflammatory markers, would be needed to determine the underlying cause.


How could an alpha particle strike the phosphor screen on the same side of the foil as the alpha particle source?

An alpha particle could strike the phosphor screen on the same side of the foil as the alpha particle source if it undergoes a scattering event with a nucleus that causes it to change direction and travel back towards the same side. This scattering event can happen due to the strong Coulomb interaction between the positive charge of the alpha particle and the positive charge of the nucleus.

What caused the deflection of the alpha particles in Rutherfords gold foil experiment?

A zinc sulfide coated screen surrounding the gold foil produced a flash of light whenever it was struck by an alpha particle. By noting where the flash occurred, the scientists could determine if the atoms in the gold foil deflected the alpha particles.


Could Alpha be stopped by paper?

Yes, Alpha radiation could be stopped by normal paper.

It depends on the context, but it could mean a 30% ejection fraction. If it does mean ejection fraction, anything under 50% is considered abnormal.

Why the alpha particles could not smash the nucleus apart?

The alpha particle is positively charged (as is the nucleus) and is heavy compared with the neutron that is neutral and lighter than the alpha particle.Another viewpoint:It depends what experiment the question is about. For example, over a hundred years ago, Rutherford bombarded gold foil with alpha particles and some "bounced off" what we now call the nucleus of the atoms. However, about ten years later he did experiments in which alpha particles did indeed "split" atomic nuclei. So, sometimes alpha particles can certainly smash a nucleus apart.
