What if californium disappeared?
Because californium is an unstable, radioactive chemical element disappear by radioactive decay.
What happens when californium 251 decays into curium 247?
Californium-251 decay by alpha emission.
What is released by decay?
Gamma radiation isn't a form of decay as it doesn't create a new atom but gamma radiation is an electromagnetic wave.
What is lost during radioactive decay?
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
One kind of radiation not released by radioactive decay is .?
alpha particles
Are x-rays emitted during radioactive decay?
Yes they are. Nearly all kinds of electromagnetic radiation are emitted during radioactive decay
When californium decays into Cm what is formed?
Each isotope has another type of decay but generally from californium are formed curium isotopes and an alpha particle.
Is alpha decay the same as alpha radiation?
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
What is an electron called when it is being released during beta decay?
It is in beta minus decay that we see an electron appear to leave the nucleus of an atom. The electron is called a beta minus particle, or we might term that electron beta minus radiation.
What is spontaneous emission of radiation from an element?
This could have many names such as 'decay', 'radioactive decay', or 'radiation.
What are the products of radioactive decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
What are the three products of radioactivity decay?
alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma radiation
