Alpha or an He nucleus because it has a mass of 4 when all the others have a mass of close to zero.

What nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
What exactly is the difference between nuclear fission and radioactivity?
this actually really funny because im looking for the same answer but i believe that the answer is a chemical activity is undergoing a chemical change while radioactivity is emission of radition
What are the 4 types of radiation and what does each type do to the nucleus?
Usually with the '4 types of radiation' it is referred to:- alpha radiation (emission of an alpha particle = a helium nucleus = 2 neutrons + 2 protons):Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number by 2.- beta-minus radiation (emission of a beta- particle = an electron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number increases by 1 (a neutron decays into a proton and beta- radiation)- beta-plus radiation (emission of a beta+ particle = a positron)Hence for the emitting nucleus the mass number remains the same and the atomic number decreases by 1 (under the addition of energy a proton decays into a neutron and a positron)- gamma radiation (emission of high energetic photons)The emitting nucleus doesn't change its mass number and atomic number,but it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level.
What is the nuclear reaction for the transformation of Cs-137 into Ba-137?
Beta Emission as there is no change in the atomic mass of the atom but there is an increase in the atomic no. of the atom.
How is the atomic number changed by gamma decay?
There is no change in atomic number with the emission of gamma radiation. Unlike alpha or beta radiation, it does not have any kind of particles. It's emission results only when an excited nuclei goes to an unexcited state by emitting these.
What nuclear radiation is smallest?
Gamma radiation is the smallest, because they have no mass.
Why do nuclear bombs cause mass destruction?
because of the force and radiation
An unstable nucleus loses the most mass if the nucleus emits what?
The greatest mass loss to a nucleus undergoing decay by emission happens through alpha radiation. In this case, the atomic mass is reduced by approximately 4. Emission of a neutron (rare) or proton produces a loss of about 1. Other emissions cause smaller losses.

What nuclear radiation is described by a radioactive particle having the same mass as an electron?
Beta
What type of nuclear decay results in the atomic number decreasing by two and the mass decreasing by two?
Emission of an alpha particle.

Is radiation the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic?
It's the emission of electromagnetic energy from something, not the transfer. That em-radiation could travel for ever across the universe, never interacting with anything ever again and it would still be radiation.________________________________________________________Not all radiation is electromagnetic engery. Electromagnetic energy is transfered by way of photons. Photons are emited through gamma radiation and black body radiation. Nuclear decay of alpha particles and beta particles (which are also considered radiations) are actual particles that have mass, and are not electromagnetic radiation.
A gamma ray emission results in the release of energy without any apparent change in mass or nuclear charge True or false?
True
What is the nuclear reaction for the transformation of Cs-137 into Ba-137?
Beta Emission as there is no change in the atomic mass of the atom but there is an increase in the atomic no. of the atom.
Is gravity caused by the absorption of electromagnetic emission?
No. Gravity is a characteristic property of space and mass that exists whether or not there is any electromagnetic radiation in the neighborhood. Its cause is unknown.
Is decreasing mass by one unit the emission of a beta pertical?
No. Beta emission does not change the mass of the atom.
