The notations used to represent an alpha particle are either "a," "α^2+," or "He^2+." Alpha particles only have two protons and two neurons, making them essentially the same as helium nuclei, hence "He^2+."

What kind of nuclear reaction would result in the release of a beta particle?

Beta particle( electron having nuclear origin) is emitted when a neutron decays into a proton by giving out electron. The electron produced escapes as a beta particle leaving proton in the nucleus of atom. 0n1 --> 1p1 + -1e0 ( 1e0 is the emitted beta particle) here subscripts denote charge and superscript denote mass in atomic mass unit(amu). Such neutron decay are shown by some radioactive elements. Usually when the n/p (neutron/proton) ratio is higher than required nuclei emit beta particle. Many examples of this type of decay can be given like: 6c14 --> 7N14 + -1e0 (this carbon isotope is used in carbon dating). 90Th232 + 0n1 --> 90Th232 - -1e0 --> 91Pa233 - -1e0 --> 92U233 (this reaction is used in breeder reactors for production of fissile uranium isotope)


Why are scientific notation used in scientific calculation?
