Carbon-14 undergoes beta decay to become which other element?
We see that carbon-14 undergoes beta minus decay to become nitrogen-14. Here's the equation: 614C => 714N + e- + ve The carbon-14 nucleus has a neutron within it change into a proton Then we see both a beta minus particle (an electron with high kinetic energy) and an antineutrino ejected from the nucleus.
How uranium nucleus become stable?
Being radioactive, uranium is not a stable element.
What would happen to an atom if the number of protons in the nucleus changed?
It would become a different element. It could become radioactive.
When nitrogen dioxide is heated it splits into two elements what element does it become?
two nitrogen molecules its easy you noob
What happens to the nucleus when a neutron hits it?
When a neutron hits the nucleus, it can be absorbed by the nucleus, causing the nucleus to become unstable and possibly undergo radioactive decay. This process can lead to the release of energy, emission of radiation, or transmutation of the nucleus into a different element.
What is an element that needs three electrons to become stable?
An element that needs three electrons to become stable is nitrogen. Nitrogen has five valence electrons and can gain three more electrons to achieve a full outer shell of eight electrons, making it stable.
What part of an atom must change for the atom to become a new element?
An atom must gain or lose protons from its nucleus to become an atom of another element. The number of protons, and to a much lesser extent the number of neutrons, will determine the chemical properties of an element.
Changing the number of protons in an atom would change what?
If an atom were to change the number of protons it had than it would change the atomic number and therefore become a different element. Radioactive decay is one example of this, for example, alpha decay is when a radioactive nucleus emits an alpha particle (2 protons + 2 neutrons) and in doing so, becomes a nucleus of a different element. Polonium-212 decays to Lead-208 in this way.
Why does an element radiate?
An element will radiate if it is an isotope of the original element, this means that it has more neutrons in its nucleus than it does protons. This causes the element to become unstable and thus causes it to let out radiation in order to make it stable.
When C6 emits a beta particle what does it become?
When C-6 (carbon-6) emits a beta particle, it becomes nitrogen-6 (N-6) as a result of beta decay. Beta decay involves the transformation of a neutron into a proton within the nucleus, causing the element to change.
If an element is radioactive is it's nucleus unstable?
Yes,The element is radioactive due to the instability of its nucleus.See the related question below for more information.
When an alpha particle is emitted the nucleus of the original element?
An alpha particle is a helium-4 nucleus, and contains two protons and two neutrons. Therefore, the original nucleus will have two protons and two neutrons less. Its atomic number will be two less, and its atomic mass will be 4 less.
