The daughter product in this nuclear process will be cobalt-59, which is stable. One neutron becomes a proton and an electron. The proton remains, adding 1 to the nuclide's atomic number; the electron is emitted as a beta particle.

If chromium undergoes gamma decay what does it become?

It would become vandium, iron, titanium or maganese depending on the amount of decay and the half-life of chromium


Why would you choose wood over aluminum or iron?

I believe its because aluminum is a pure element, (does not contain any other element) thus decay is not likely. Coal and gas have different properties, so any of the elements might decay, for eg beta decay, where an atom releases an helium atom.

Why beta is not there in iron carbon phase diagram?

actually there is no difference in beta phase and alpha phase when we talk about crystal structure of iron. beta phase has the same structure as the alpha phase. the olny difference is the magnetic properties which are absent in beta phase due to the expanded lattice parameter.


Is semolina rich in iron?

Yes. Semolina is rich is beta-proteins which when metabolized in the body produce iron.

How horrible is it to be low on iron in your body?

An iron deficiency results in anemia. An excess of iron causes hemochromatosis.


How do heavier elements on the periodic table form?

A few elements past iron can form in the star by neutron capture and beta decay. However the majority can only be formed by the blast shockwave of a supernova, which can form elements significantly beyond Uranium.

Why does rusting does not take place on the moon?

Rusting is a chemical reaction that iron undergoes involving water and oxygen. There is no pxygen or liquid water on the moon, and therefor nothing for the iron to react with.


Is rust a mineral?

Rust occurs when iron and oxygen meet and the oxygen causes the iron to decay. Yes in a way, rust is the corroded metal iron.
