What is uranium present in?
Uranium is present in approx. 220 rocks and minerals.
The uranium 238 can be triggered to split when it is stuck by a?
a free neutron can trigger the split of a particle like uranium 238. It will produce a smaller atom (eg. proctantium), a beta particle and energy.
When radioactive uranium decays it emits an alpha particle and produces a nuclide of thorium . according to the nuclear equation what is the mass of the thorium produced?
When uranium undergoes alpha decay, it emits an alpha particle (which consists of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) and transforms into thorium. The mass of the thorium produced can be determined by subtracting the mass of the emitted alpha particle from the original mass of the uranium nuclide. The specific mass of thorium will depend on the isotope of uranium that is decaying, but it generally corresponds to the mass number of the uranium minus 4 (for the alpha particle).
To what does plutonium-239 decay when it loses an alpha particle?
Yes, plutonium-239 emits alpha particles by decay.
What is made when Uranium-238 gives off an alpha particle?
radiation
What particle is given off during the change from protactinium to uranium?
Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.
Is a boson heavier than a uranium particle?
No, bosons do not have mass in the same way as particles like uranium. Bosons are force carrier particles, like photons and W and Z bosons, which have zero rest mass. On the other hand, uranium particles, like uranium atoms, have mass due to the protons, neutrons, and electrons they consist of.
What particle would uranium have to absorb in order to become plutonium?
These particles are called neutrons.
Are the three known forms of uranium called copies of each other?
No, the three known forms of uranium - uranium-238, uranium-235, and uranium-234 - are isotopes of uranium with different numbers of neutrons. They have distinct nuclear properties that make them useful in various applications.
What type of particle is emitted when a U-235 decays to Np-235?
It is negative beta particle emitted by a uranium nucleus and converting it to neptunium nucleus.
Is encouraged a past particle present particle or a present verb?
"Encouraged" is the simple past and past participle of the verb "encourage".
When uranium 238 changes into protactinium 234 how many protons does it lose?
Uranium-234 become protactinium by emission of a beta particle. A proton is transformed in a neutron.
