In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
What is inside proton?
Protons are positively charged particles found inside the nucleus of an atom. Every atom of a particular element contains the same number of protons.Each element has a unique atomic number, or a unique number of protons in its nucleus.Proton number never changes for any given element. For example, oxygen has an atomic number of 8. That tells us that oxygen always has 8 protons.bubby project-google
What does a transmutation reaction always have to involve?
Transmutation always involves a change in the number of protons in the atom, which changes the atomic number and the element of the atom. It also involves at least some slight change in the mass of the atom (but not necessarily the mass number, which is the number of protons plus the number of neutrons, and not the same as the actual mass).
Where are the neutrons located in the fluorine atom?
Neutrons are always located within the nucleus in the case of all elements
When an atom undergoes radioactive decay when does it become a completely different element?
An atom of a given isotope will undergo radioactive decay whenever it feels like it. No joke. The nucleus of a radioactive isotope is unstable. Always. But that atom has no predictable moment of instability leading immediately to the decay event. We use something called a half life to estimate how long it will take for half a given quantity of an isotope to undergo radioactive decay until half the original amount is left, but this is a statistically calculated period. No one knows how long it will take a given atom of a radioactive isotope to decay, except that those with very short half lives will pretty much disappear relatively quickly.
What is mass number of an isotope?
The mass number of an element is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus, and this always determines the element in the Periodic Table. Different isotopes of the same element have differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus, but always the same number of protons.
What value is always different for every element?
Each element has a unique number of protons in the nucleus of their atoms.
In alpha and beta decay the parent elements is always a different element from the daughter element?
true
The atomic number of an element is always the same as?
The number of protons in the nucleus of each atom of the element.
What is a plutonium?
A radioactive element with several isotopes that always has 94 protons within its nucleus.
What percentage of an atom's mass is the nucleus?
The precise figure varies from element to element and isotope to isotope depending on the number of neutrons in the nucleus, however it is always at least 99.95% which is the ratio between an electron and a proton.
Why are protons and neutrons always equal in number?
Because they are both in the nucleus and if they weren't the element would be radioactive.
What is the glowing compound used in radium stickers?
Radium is a radio active element which always undergoes nuclear fission and desentegration, and releases energy in the form of radiation. It is an element. There is no compound in it. It contains atoms of radium.
An atom of the element with atomic number 6 always has what?
six protons in its nucleus
What do atoms of the same given element share?
Atoms of a given element always have the same number of protons in their nucleus. Neutrons can vary (in different isotopes) and electrons can vary (in different ions) but protons are always the same for a given element. If the number of protons is changed, then you no longer have the same element.
When there is a charge in the nucleus of an atom is released?
There is always a positive charge in the nucleus but there is a charge in the atom of an element when the outermost electrons are released or gained during a chemical reaction.This is called ionic bonding.
Why is oxygen's atomic number 8?
Each oxygen atom contains 8 protons in its nucleus. The atomic number of a chemical element (also known as its proton number) is always the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom of that element, and identical to the charge number of the nucleus. It is conventionally represented by the symbol Z.
