If the isotope bismuth-213 emits an alpha particle two protons and two neutrons which element will be left over?
Emitting an alpha particle 213Bi become 209Tl.
What is released from the nucleus during gamma decay?
Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.Alpha decay means that an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) is emitted.
What is the difference between particle size and crystallite size?
crystallite is the average size of the particle whereas the particle size denotes the individual size of the particle.
Which has the largest mass alpha particle gamma ray positron or beta particle?
The alpha particle is much more massive than a beta particle. A beta particle is an electron, which has very little mass. An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, and consists of two protons and two neutrons.
What is the other product of this decomposition when Plutonium-238 decomposes by emitting a particle?
Plutonium 238 is an alpha emitter; the decay product is uranium 234.
What particle decomposes to produce the emission of beta radiation?
This particle is a neutron:neutron-----------proton + electron + neutrino

What particle is given off during the change from protactinium to uranium?
Protactinium-233 is transformed in uranium-233 emitting beta radiation.
What does emissions mean?
it means like cars and etc....... To make it more clear, it's the act of throwing something out. Emitting can refer to Science a lot of the time, such as the emission of an alpha particle from a nucleus or the sun emitting heat and light. As for cars, pollution is being emitted in the air.
Why in a electrostatic precipitator high negative voltage given to emitting electrode where as collecting electrode is normally earthed?
electron can easily penetrate in to dust particle
What is the result radioactive decay?
One type of atom (nuclide) breaks up, emitting some particle and energy, and converting into another type of nuclide.
Is radium identical to an alpha particle?
No. Radium is a heavy metal, atomic number 88 (with 88 protons). An alpha particle is a helium nucleus, atomic number 2. Radium decays by each atom emitting an alpha particle, becoming Radon gas, atomic nubmer 86.
The nuclear reaction for the emission of gamma particle from cobalt 60?
Cobalt-60m decays by emitting a gamma particle. This changes neither the atomic number nor the isotope number, since no nucleons are lost. The gamma particle has an energy of 58.59 keV. The resulting atom is Cobalt-60.
