Since an alpha particle is simply two protons and two neutrons bound together, or He2+, the alpha decay of selenium-78 is easily determined. Selenium-78 has 34 protons and 44 neutrons. Subtract 2 from each of these due to the loss of the alpha particle and you have 32 protons and 42 neutrons. This new atom is germanium-74.

alpha decay
Plutonium-241 decays by both beta- and alpha decay. For beta- decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 95241Am + e- + v-eNot asked but answered for completeness sake, for alpha decay the equation is ...94241Pu -> 92237U +24He2+
There is no equation. Calcium-42 is stable and does not decay. Calcium is also much to light for alpha decay, which requires elements heavier than nickel, so no isotope of calcium undergoes alpha decay.
There are 3 naturally occurring isotopes of Uranium, all decay by alpha to Thorium:238U --> 234Th + 4He235U --> 231Th + 4He234U --> 230Th + 4He
The decay that occurs for Am-241 to become Np-237 is called alpha decay. Alpha decay is characterized by a decrease of 2 in the atomic number and 4 in the mass number.
gamma decay beta decay alpha decay
No. Decay is the process, radiation is the product.
It's called alpha-decay. The two protons and two neutrons are removed in the form of alpha particles, or helium nuclei.
92Au 282Xe +13S
It is alpha decay. In the process, an alpha particle(He2+) is released. So, it is called alpha decay.
I'm pretty sure its alpha.
The equation for the alpha decay of 226Ra: 88226Ra --> 86222Rn + 24He The alpha particle is represented as a helium (He) nucleus.
The equation for the alpha decay of 233Pu:94233Pu --> 92229U + 24He2+where the alpha particle is represented as a helium nucleus.Note that 233Pu decays by alpha decay with a probability of only 0.12%. The other 99.88% is Beta+ decay.
Uranium-239 does NOT decay by alpha decay, it decays only by beta and gammadecay.
The only possible product of the alpha decay of 92238U is 90234Th.
By alpha decay polonium-214 is transformed in lead-210. Po-214--------------alpha--------------Pb-210
The decay products of ununhexium (after alpha decay) are isotopes of ununquadium.
