What else can I help you with?
The lightest known element with only one proton is?
Hydrogen is not only the lightest but the only known element with only 1 proton per atom.
Which is the lightest isotope of hydrogen?
Protium (Hydrogen-1) is the lightest and by far the most common isotope of hydrogen.
Is alpha particles the most radioactive emission?
No, alpha particles are not the most radioactive emission. Gamma rays are more penetrating and more energetic than alpha particles, making them the most dangerous and damaging form of radiation.
Where could one locate Alpha particles?
Alpha particles are most commonly found when alpha decay occurs. An alpha particle is emitted during alpha decay. Further information about alpha particles can be found on the Wikipedia website.
What atom is the lightest?
The lightest and smallest atom is hydrogen. It has a single proton and a single electron. There are some other isotopes of hydrogen that have one or more neutrons. Although those isotopes are naturally occurring, they are rare and for most purposes, we can ignore their existence.
What radioactive emission is that most easily absorbed?
Alpha particles.
What are the three most common subatomic particles?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron.
Which weighs more proton neutron electron?
A Neutron weighs more than a proton. Than an electron. A Neutron weighs the most, and an electron weighs the least. A proton is in the middle. Although there are these three sub atomic particles, an atom is made up of 99 percent empty space! But from greatest to least in mass, it goes neutron, proton, then electron!
Which nuclear decay particles would inflict the most tissue damage if ingested?
alpha particles
How does the penetrating ability of gamma rays compare with that of alpha particles and beta particles?
Gamma rays have higher penetrating ability compared to alpha and beta particles. Gamma rays can penetrate through most materials, while alpha particles can be stopped by a sheet of paper and beta particles by a few millimeters of aluminum.
Can hydrogen undergo alpha decay?
No, it cannot. Fission is the "splitting" of an atom, and a hydrogen atom will not fission. Some hydrogen atoms have a neutron stuck to the proton in their nucleus. Some even have two neutrons stuck to that proton. These neutrons can be "knocked loose" in something like a nuclear chair reaction in a weapon. The neutrons then can contribute to the building of the nuclear chain reaction. But fission doesn't happen to hydrogen.
What is the difference between the angle of deviation of the alpha particles closer to the nucleus and that of those that are farther away?
Angle of deviation closer to the nucleus is greater that father from nucleus. These deviations are caused by repulsion of like charges, that is the proton and the alpha particle. Most of the alpha particles pass through, not deviated by large angles, and few rebound back. :D
