Which radioisotope has an atom that emits a particle with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1?
Proton emission is a type of radioactive decay where an atom emits a proton with a mass number of 0 and a charge of plus 1. An example of a radioisotope that undergoes proton emission is iodine-123.
What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?
This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of?
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of decaying a neutron into a proton and an electron. This increases the atomic number and the electron is ejected energetically. The number of neutrons are decreased by one and the number of protons increase by one, changing the atom to a different element.
If an isotope undergoes beta emission?
If an isotope undergoes beta emission, a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, along with the emission of a beta particle (an electron) and an antineutrino. This process increases the atomic number of the nucleus by one but leaves the mass number unchanged.
Is deuterium radioactive?
No, deuterium is stable. It is Tritium that is radioactive.

Heavy unstable nuclei emit a single proton or neutron?
Heavy unstable nuclei can undergo a process known as proton or neutron emission, where they emit a single proton or neutron to reach a more stable state. This emission is a form of radioactive decay, helping the nucleus decrease its mass and improve its stability. Proton emission is more common in very heavy nuclei, while neutron emission occurs in some isotopes that have an excess of neutrons. Overall, these emissions are crucial for understanding nuclear stability and the behavior of heavy elements.

How can an atom emit a proton?
An atom cannot emit a proton. Protons are found within the nucleus of an atom and do not naturally emit from an atom. The process where protons are emitted from a nucleus is called proton emission and typically occurs in nuclear reactions or decays in radioactive isotopes.
How electron created from nucleus?
I think you may be referring to Beta decay of a radioactive substance. Beta decay involves the emission of an electron and an electron antineutrino from the nucleus of an atom as a neutron is converted into a proton
In a beta particle emission what does the neutron split into?
In beta particle emission, a neutron in the nucleus converts into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino.
A beta particle may be spontaneously emitted from?
the nucleus of an atom undergoing radioactive decay, typically from elements that are not stable due to an imbalance of protons and neutrons. This emission helps the atom achieve a more stable nuclear configuration by transforming a neutron into a proton, electron, and antineutrino.
Which type of radioactive decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus?
Gamma decay does not change the neutron-to-proton ratio for a nucleus. Gamma decay involves the emission of gamma rays, which are high-energy photons, without changing the composition of the nucleus.
What has the weakest penetrating powers with radioactive emission?
alpha
What is positron capture?
The decay of an unstable atom by absorbing a wandering positron into the nucleus, converting a neutron into a proton. One example is how a radioactive form of iodine, 131I, can use positron capture to become xenon, 131Xe. This is a stable, so the conversion is a big help.

alpha ray.
