When the nucleus boron-10 is bombarded with neutrons it absorbs a neutron and then emits an alpha particle How many protons does the resulting nucleus have?
The resulting nucleus has 6 protons. Boron-10 has 5 protons, and absorbing a neutron increases the atomic number by 1 to become carbon-11, which has 6 protons. The emission of an alpha particle (helium nucleus with 2 protons) leaves behind a nucleus with 6 protons.
When the nuclei of heavy atoms with many protons are split this process is called?
The process of splitting the nuclei of heavy atoms with many protons is called nuclear fission. It releases a large amount of energy in the form of heat and is the underlying principle behind nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.
How do alpha particles beta particles and gamma rays originate in the nucleus of the atom?
A beta particle is created when a neutron inside an unstable nucleus changes into a proton (or vice versa), losing energy and mass in the form of an electron (or positron), which is the beta particle.
How did Albert Einstein come up with the theory to split the atom?
Albert Einstein did not come up with the theory to split the atom. The theory behind nuclear fission, the process of splitting an atomic nucleus, was actually proposed by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in 1938. Einstein later wrote a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt highlighting the potential of nuclear energy, which eventually led to the development of the atomic bomb.
What represents alpha decay?
148/64 Gd ---> 144/62 Sm + 4/2 He (apple executive)

What is the negatively charged particle in in atom?
Electron. It revolves the nucleus containing protons and neutrons and is the basic reason behind chemical reactions.According to the simplest Bohr model of the atom, the basic negatively charged particle is the electron.Electrons

What is the key reason behind radioactive decay?
E = mC squared The mass energy equation (Einstein' derivation) applied to sub atomic particles which shed protons to attain a more stable electrovalence leads to the energy associated with that bond being released Alpha particles ,beta particles or gamma particles Americium-241--->neptunium -237 + Alpha particle (Helium Nucleus)
Does a nucleon has the least mass in the nucleus of uranium?
Nucleons are protons and neutrons; the have a mass near 1. But nucleons contain quarks and gluons. I've been trying to work backward from the question to determine what you were really trying to ask, and I think it may have been something along the lines of "does uranium have the greatest mass deficit per nucleon"? In which case the answer is no. An isotope of nickel holds that position, with two iron isotopes close behind. Uranium is not even a contender; there actually aren't many elements that don't have at least one isotope that has a higher binding energy than any uranium isotope.

What is Rutherfords model of the atom?
the nuclear model was its name. the theory behind this model is that 99.99% of the atom is empty space.the nucleus is what that is tiny and the most dense positive core.The nucleus contains protons. the nucleus is what weight the most in the atom
Why are neutrons the glue that holds the nucleus together?
It would be better to say that neutrons do participate in the binding force that holds nuclei together, but do not alone act as the glue. Both protons and neutrons are attracted and bound in nuclei by the nuclear force. The strong force itself, a fundamental force in physics behind this short-distance attraction between nucleons, is actually mediated by another particle - the gluon.
