What is the equations for the beta decay of radon-198?
Radon-198 does not decay via beta decay. It is thought to decay by alpha decay, but that is not certain. The equation would be ... 86198Rn -> (Alpha, T1/2 = 86 ms) -> 84194Po + 24He2+
Is raduim decays to bismuth how many alpha beta particles are emitted?
Atomic number of radium is 88 and that of bismuth is 83. So atomic number is to be reduced by 5. But as alpha is emitted atomic number reduces by 2. So a beta decay is needed which would increase the atomic number by 1. So 3 alpha decay and one beta decay would make radium into bismuth
What is a radioactive decay equation?
Gamma is not a decay process. It is a consequence of a decay process, but it, in itself, is not a decay process. It is the emission of a photon from the excited state of the nucleus in response to a decay process such as alpha or beta that changes the nucleus and leaves it with excess energy.
What is the product of the alpha decay of berkelium?
Alpha decay of any radionuclide would reduce the atomic number by 2 and reduce the atomic mass number by 4. As such, berkelium would decay by alpha emission to americium. Note that not all isotopes of berkelium decay by alpha emission. In terms of percentages, the most predominate example is ... 97247Bk --> (T1/2 = 1380 years) --> 95243Am + 24He2+
What radioactive decay would uranium...238 be if it undergoes alpha then beta then beta then beta then alpha then alpha?
238U --> 234Th + 4He 234Th --> 234Pa + e- 234Pa --> 234U + e- 234U --> 234Np + e-, not possible
The least energetic of the forms of radioactive decay is ______?
alpha decay

What would the balanced equation for the alpha decay of thorium 229 be?
229Th-------alpha particle-----------225Ra
Would radioactive gold alpha decay?
Sure it will. "Radioactive" means just that - that the corresponding isotope will decay.
What type of radioactive decay removes a helium nucleus and has a very low enegry level?
A helium nucleus - more precisely, a helium-4 nucleus - is called an alpha particle. The corresponding decay would be called alpha decay.
What pathway would decay polonium-218 to bismuth-214?
Polonium-218-------------alpha---------------Lead-214
What is the nuclear equation for the decay of Am 250 by alpha emission?
My book does not list 250Am, nor the product 246Np. Beta decay would probably be preferred in this case over alpha.250Am --> 246Np + 4He
What pathway would decay uranium-238 to proactinium-234?
An alpha and beta emission
Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?
alpha particles
What would Americium transmute into if it expelled an alpha particle?
For example americium-241 decay to neptunium-237 and americium-243 decay to neptunium-239.
Is thorium-234proactinium-234 plus -1e a fusion alpha decay or an beta decay?
If it was a fusion reaction, two small nuclei would have to combine to produce a single larger nucleus. But this is not the case. It is a decay, where a large nucleus is split into smaller particles. If it was Alpha decay, alpha particles would be produced. Alpha particles are helium nuclei and have the symbol 24Alpha. But this is also not the case. Beta-minus particles are just electrons. In this reaction, an electron is produced. So, it's a beta-minus decay. Beta-plus just produces positrons, the anti-particle of the electron, with a positive charge.
