What type of radiation is emitted when polonium 212 forms lead 208?
In this case alpha particles are emitted.
What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
What is the spontaneous disintegration in which particles and or electromagnetic radiation are emitted?
Radioactivity
What is radoiactivity?
Radioactivity is the property possessed by some elements (as uranium) or isotopes (as carbon 14) of spontaneously emitting energetic particles (as electrons or alpha particles) by the disintegration of their atomic nuclei; also : the rays emitted
What kind of particles are emitted by radon?
Radon emits alpha particles.
What are the types of radiactivity?
There are several types of radioactivity. Some of these types of radioactivity include gamma rays, beta particles, as well as alpha particles.
Which particle is most massive in radioactivity?
You think probable to alpha particles.
How are alpha particles used in smoke alarms?
Alpha radiation is emitted from the amercium button in a smoke detector. When smoke goes into the smoke detector it blocks the stream of alpha particles emitted from the americium. That triggers an alarm.
How many alpha particles are produced as one atom of uranium-238 decays to an atom of lead-206?
4 alpha particles were emitted. This is known by the fact that an alpha particle ,on being given out, decrease the mass number of the element by 4.Hence the decrease in mass number in above question is 12 which itself states the answer that 4 alpha particles are emitted. The number of beta particles emitted are 3 beta particle have been emitted.
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 word is used to describe the particles and energy that are emitted by a nucleus?
radioactivity
What are alpha particles emitted by a microgram of plutonium over a year?
Number of alpha particles emitted by 1 μg of 239Pu in a year: 2,3·103·365·24·60·60 = 72,5328·109.
